The energy required to boil a liquid is dependant on what the liquid is, as every liquid has it's own constant known as a specific heat capacity. This essentially boils down (ha ha) to the strength of the bonds between the molecules, which varies depending on the molecule itself. Water for instance has much stronger intermolecular attractions that, say, liquid nitrogen.

What does the lantent heat of vaporization measure?

the amount of heat required to change the state from liquid to vapour of unit mass without changing the temperature


The amount of energy involved in melting a substance without changing its temperature is called the?

It is called the enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as (latent) heat of fusion.


What means that a large amount of energy is required to change the waters temperature?

Water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it can absorb or release a lot of heat energy without its temperature changing much. This is why it takes a large amount of energy to raise or lower the temperature of water compared to other substances.


WHAT IS HEAT OF TRANSFORMATION?

Heat of transformation is the amount of heat absorbed or released during a phase change of a substance, such as melting, freezing, vaporization, or condensation. It is the energy required to change the state of a substance without changing its temperature.


What is total heat of steam?

The total heat of steam, also known as enthalpy of steam, is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water to its boiling point and then convert it into steam without changing its temperature. It is the sum of sensible heat and latent heat of vaporization.


What is the difference in specefic heat and latent heat?

Specific heat is the heat energy in joules required to rise the temperature of one kg of substance through one kelvin without a change in its state. But latent heat is the heat required to change the state of one kg of substance without change in temperature.


Is saturated a soulution that contains all solute and can be dissolved with out changing temperature?

A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature. If a solution is saturated, adding more solute will not dissolve into the solution without changing the temperature.


What is saturated heat?

Saturated heat refers to the amount of heat required to convert a substance from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas at its boiling or melting point, while keeping the temperature constant. It represents the energy needed for a phase change to occur without changing the temperature of the substance.


What is the heat of evaporation?

The heat of evaporation, also known as latent heat of vaporization, is the amount of energy required to change a substance from liquid to gas at its boiling point without changing its temperature. This energy is used to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the liquid together.


Why is water a good temperature moderator?

Because water has a very high specific heat and is capable of absorbing a large amount of heat energy without changing temperature.


How does changing the temperature of solutions affect the amount of voltage that is going to be produced in votaic cell?

Changing the temperature increases the change in energy.


The energy involved in a phase change is called the?
