Vaporizing heat pressure
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -For water at its normal boiling point of 100 ºC, the heat of vaporization is 2260 J g-1. This means that to convert 1 g of water at 100 ºC to 1 g of steam at 100 ºC, 2260 J of heat must be absorbed by the water.
Detailed explanation-2: -For vaporization, it is the quantity of heat (540 cal g− 1) needed to convert 1 g of water to 1 g of water vapor.
Detailed explanation-3: -Latent heat of vaporisation of water is 22.5 × 105 J/kg. It means that 22.5 × 105 J of heat is required to change 1 kg of water at 100°C into steam at the same temperature.
