Answer 1

Answer:

Marko to pata nahi bhai sorry

Answer 2

Answer:

The specific latent heat of vaporization of water is $2.26 \ MJKg^{-1}$. This means that $2.26$ $MJ$ heat should be supplied to vaporize $1 \ kg$ of water.

Explanation:

• Definition: The amount of energy required to alter or change the state of $1 \ kg$ of the substance without having to change its temperature.
• It is the amount of work required to overcome the forces which are holding the molecules together of a substance.
• There are two different forms of latent heat, namely, latent heat of vaporization (also known as boiling) and latent heat of fusion (also known as melting).

Hence, the specific latent heat of vaporization of water being $2.26 \ MJKg^{-1}$ implies that $2.26$ $MJ$ heat should be supplied to vaporize $1 \ kg$ of water.
