Question

What is heat of vapourisation ? How it is related to the boiling point of liquid?

Answer 1

Answer:

Heat of vaporization is the heat is required to convert one mole of liquid into vapours

At the boiling point the conditions that are suitable for converting water into vapours is fulfilled that is the temperature increases and results in increase of heat energy

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

When heat is added to a liquid at its boiling point, with the pressure kept constant, the molecules of the liquid acquire enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces that bind them together in the liquid state, and they escape as individual molecules of vapor until the vaporization is complete. Vaporization at the boiling point is known simply as boiling. The temperature of a boiling liquid remains constant until all of the liquid has been converted to a gas.

For each substance a certain specific amount of heat must be supplied to vaporize a given quantity of the substance. This amount of heat is known as the latent heat of vaporization of the substance. The quantity of heat applied for each gram (or each molecule) undergoing the change in state depends on the substance itself. For example, the amount of heat necessary to change one gram of water to steam at its boiling point at one atmosphere of pressure, i.e., the heat of vaporization of water, is approximately 540 calories. Other substances require other amount
