Question

Define latent heat of vapourization . explain why particles in steam have more energy than water at 100 degree c

Answer 1

Latent heat of vapoorization is the heat energy required to change 1 kg of liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure without changing its state.
Particles in steam contains more heat energy from boiling water and as the boiling water has a temperature of 100 degree centigrade so the particlesin steam have more energy than water at 100 degree centigrade
