Is energy transferred when water boils?
Yes, as water boils the temperature of the boiling water no longer rises. The energy from the heat source that is boiling the water is however STILL there. What happens is that this energy is taken away by the water vapor leaving the boiling water surface. This energy is called "LATENT HEAT". The latent heat is given up again when the water vapor condenses back to liquid water so the water vapor caries the heat from one place to another. It is this energy that powers Hurricanes.
What is latent heat of fusion of 1kg water?
The latent heat of fusion of 1kg water is 334 kJ/kg. (Wikipedia)
Does steam has highest latent heat than boiling water?
Boiling water has a lower latent heat than steam. Steam is the transition from liquid to gas for boiling water. If by boiling water you mean liquid water at the temperature of 100 degrees Celsius then yes, steam has a higher latent heat.
What does latent heat causes?
Latent heat has the ability to do something in a given time period. Take a water heated radiator, latent heat has the ability to make the radiator warm or hot according to the temprature of the water. It will continue to do this until the water stops flowing through the radiator and the radiator begins to cool.
What is the latent heat of ice?
A BTU is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of liquid water by one degree Fahrenheit. Melting a pound of ice at 32 °F requires 143 BTU. As is the case with the calorie, several different definitions of the BTU exist, which are based on different water temperatures and therefore vary by up to 0.5%:
How latent heat is an important source of atmospheric energy?
In the atmosphere latent heat is a property of water vapour. When water vapour condenses it releases latent heat, and latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water. This heat affects the behaviour of the weather. Similar effects occur in the change from liquid water to ice and vice versa.
What is heat called that is stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?
the answer is latent Latent heat is correct, but specifically the latent heat of evaporation of (whatever is evaporated, in this case water) water. When the evaporated water condenses, it releases this latent heat as it precipitates, which is why it tends to feel warmer during rainstorms (unless the water is running down your neck in which case it feels horrible).
Do clouds and rain release latent heat?
Sort of. Actually it is the condensation of water vapor into liquid water (a drop of rain or a particle of cloud mist) that releases the latent heat (into the surrounding air). So strictly clouds and rain do not release latent heat.
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.
Latent heat of fusion for H20 ice to water?
334 Joules per gram ... at 0oC, 334 Joules of energy must be added to melt one gram of ice from solid to liquid form, and 334 Joules of energy must be removed to freeze one gram of liquid water to form ice.
How is a steam burn an example of latent heat?
A steam burn is an example of latent heat, because beside the heat released by the steam itself, a part of it condenses, turning into water, which in turn releases heat too.
When liquid water freezes is it releasing or absorbing heat from the surroundings?
The latent heat of fusion for water is 330 Joules/gram
What process releases the latent heat of water vapor to make the air warmer?
1. Process that release "Latent Heat" : a. Freezing, b. Condensation, - (Greatest amount of released Latent Heat.) c. Deposition. 2. Process that absorbs "Latent Heat" : a. Melting, b. Evaporation, - (Greatest amount of absorbed Latent Heat.) c. sublimation.
How do you best describes the energy transformation as the water turns from liquid to gas?
To evaporate water you must supply the latent heat of vaporisation. This is large for water compared with many other liquids. It is 2,260,000 joules per kg.
How much heat in kilojoules must be removed from a glass of water that contains 100g of water to lower it's temperature from 30c to 30c?
~ 6.3 kilojoules When 1 g of water is cooled down by 1°C it releases 1 calorie so cooling 100g of water 15 times 1°C releases 1500 calories worth of heat. The transfer factor from calorie to joule is ~ 4.2 joules/calorie 1500 calories * 4.2 joules/calorie = 6300 joules = 6.3 kilojoules
When water vapor from the ocean condenses it releases energy that can build into a hurricane true or false?
True. When water vapor condenses, it releases a significant amount of latent heat energy. In the context of hurricanes, this energy is a crucial factor that helps to fuel their growth and intensity. As the warm water evaporates and condenses, it releases energy that contributes to the formation and strengthening of the storm.
What happens when the body releases perspiration?
Water evaporates from the skin which cools the body.
