what do you mean by '' latent heat of vaporisation
Answers
Answer:
Latent heat of vaporisation
Latent heat is the additional heat required to change the state of a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point, or from liquid to gas at its boiling point, after the temperature of the substance has reached either of these points.
In simple words latent heat vaporization means heat required for conversion of water in its gaseous form.
Explanation:
1.Latent heat is the additional heat required to change the state of a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point, or from liquid to gas at its boiling point, after the temperature of the substance has reached either of these points.
2.Latent heat of vaporization is a physical property of a substance. It is defined as the heat required to change one mole of liquid at its boiling point under standard atmospheric pressure The heat of vaporization of water is about 2,260kj/kg
3.Due to latent heat steam is more dangerous than boiling water.
