Question: What is the latent heat of vaporization if 500 g of water at 100°C is converted to steam at the same temperature, absorbing 2260 kJ of heat? (2023)
Options:
Correct Answer: 2260 J/g
Exam Year: 2023
Solution:
Latent heat of vaporization (L) = Q / m = 2260 kJ / 500 g = 4.52 kJ/g = 2260 J/g.
