Question

What is meant by "latent heat of vaporization of water is 22.5X10jkg-1?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Water in its initial state is present in liquid form but when it is heated the phase or the state of the water changes and gets converted into steam at a higher temperature than the initial temperature the water was having.

This change of phase of the water from liquid state to the steam is done with the help of a heat generation known as latent heat of vaporization. Here in the question it means 22.5*10^5 j/kg of heat is required to change the water into steam
