Question

Explanation about any 4 real life applications of specific latent heat​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Steaming Food. The specific latent heat of vaporisation for water is large.
2. Cooling drinks with cold water and ice. A glass of hot water can be cooled faster by adding cold water or ice into it.
3. Extinguishing fire by using boiling water.
4. Melting Ice on the road by using Salt.

Hope it well help you

Answer 2

Explanation:

Cooling drinks with cold water and ice

A glass of hot water can be cooled faster by adding cold water or ice into it.

During the melting of ice, a large quantity of specific latent heat is absorbed from the drink and this causes the drink towards a temperature that approaches the melting limit of ice.

Ice absorbs a large quantity of latent heat during the process of melting.

Extinguishing fire by using boiling water

Water that is quickly boiled will become steam which is able to absorb a larger quantity of latent heat from the fire.

Melting Ice on the road by using Salt

It is known that the specific latent heat of fusion of salt is higher than of ice. Therefore, when salt is put on the road - having a thick layer of ice, salt will require more heat energy and absorb energy from the ice. Therefore, Ice will melt.
