Detailed explanation-1: -1 Answer. If we are considering melting and boiling, the clear choice is boiling, which requires almost 7 times more energy than melting.
Detailed explanation-2: -The latent heat of condensation will release 600 calories per gram of liquid water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Heat of vaporization of water That is, water has a high heat of vaporization, the amount of energy needed to change one gram of a liquid substance to a gas at constant temperature. Water’s heat of vaporization is around 540 cal/g at 100 °C, water’s boiling point.
Detailed explanation-4: -That is, specific heat is the amount of heat required to produce a change of 1ºC in exactly 1 g of substance. Liquid water has one of the highest specific heats known, 1 cal/g ºC or 4.184 J /g ºC .
