Question

What is meant by saying that the latent heat of vaporization of water is 22. 5×10^5 j/kg.

Answer 1

It means that 22.5×10^5 J of heat is required to change 1 kg of water into steam.

Latent heat of vaporization is amount of energy required to change 1 gram (in this example 1 kilogram) of material from the liquid to the gaseous state at its boiling point.

Boiling point of the water is 100°C.

Joule (J) is the standard unit for energy (in this example heat).

Evaporization is phase change process in which the water changes from a liquid to a gas (water vapor). Fore example, solar radiation can be the source of energy for evaporation.
