What does latent evaporation equal?

Latent evaporation is the amount of energy required to convert a liquid into vapor at a constant temperature. It is equal to the latent heat of vaporization of the substance being evaporated.


How do you find dimension of latent heat?

dimensions are just the measurements of Length, width and Height so i think to measure the dimension you just measure the object and record the distance


What is the symbol for latent heat?

The symbol for latent heat is ( L ).


When 1 kg of a substance changes from solid to liquid at its melting point it must absorb an amount of heat equal to which of the following?

The heat absorbed during the melting process is known as latent heat of fusion. For 1 kg of a substance changing from solid to liquid, it must absorb an amount of heat equal to the latent heat of fusion for that substance at its melting point.


What is latent heat evaporation?

Latent heat of evaporation of water to steam is 2270 KJ/Kg


What is the heat stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?

Latent


What is the opposite of latent heat?

The opposite of latent heat is sensible heat. Sensible heat is the heat that causes a change in temperature of a substance without a change in phase.


The form of energy related to the change of the state of water?

The energy which must be transferred to or from a sample of water in order to change it's state is called the Latent Energy or Latent Heat - for example Latent Heat of Evaporation or Latent Heat of Freezing.


Why is latent heat important to the atmosphere?

Latent heat is an important form of atmospheric energy. Latent heat is a property of water vapor in the atmosphere and when water vapor condenses it releases latent heat. Latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water and this heat affects the behavior of the weather.


How do you define latent heat and What is its relationship to potential energy?

Latent heat is the heat required to achieve a change of phase - for example, to melt ice and convert it to water. As to the relationship with potential energy, latent heat IS a type of potential energy.


Why is latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion?

latent heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to change 1 kg of a liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point where latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy required to change 1 kg of solid to liquid at its melting point so that is why latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion.


What requires more energy the latent heat vaporisation of water or the latent fusion of ice?

The latent heat of vaporisation of water requires more energy. This is because on melting, the intermolecular bonds in water are only weakened whereas on boiling, the bonds are completely broken, which requires a larger amount of energy.
