Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat energy that is required to change 1 unit of liquid into gaseous state at atmospheric pressure .
No,it is not like heat of vaporisation because the word latent means hidden and it is not hidden in heat of vaporisation.

Answer 2

Hii Livangi!!!
Here's ur answer ...

=> Latent heat of vaporisation is the heat energy required to change 1 Kg of a liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.

No, it is not as same as the heat of vaporisation. Because the word 'Latent' here, means hidden.. and in the only case of 'heat of vaporisation' , it's not hidden.

Hope it helps ya.. : )
