Question

What is the heat of vaporization of water?

Answer 1

The molecules in liquid water are held together by relatively strong hydrogen bonds and its enthalpy of vaporization, 40.65 kJ/mol is more than five times the energy required to heat the same quantity of water from: 0 °C to 100 °C (cp = 75.3 J K−1 mol−1).

Hope this helps.
