VAPORIZATION
 The amount of heat required to change 1 kg of the substance
from the substance from the liquid to gaseous phase without
a change in temperature.

SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT OF

VAPORIZATION OF WATER IS
2.26 X 102 J 𝑲𝒈−𝟏
• 2.26 X 106 J of latent heat is
needed for 1 Kg water to boil to
become vapour at 100° 𝐶
