Its the temp AND pressure at which there is no difference between the liquid water and the vapor (steam)
for water that is -
around 647 K (374 °C; 705 °F) and 22.064 MPa (3200 PSIA or 218 atm)
Energy is absorbed when water changes state from a solid to a liquid to a gas. This energy is used to break the bonds between water molecules during melting and vaporization. It is known as the latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization, respectively.
The latent heat of vaporization of a liquid is the amount of heat needed to change that liquid when at it's boiling point to a gas. Hydrogen bonds are present between water molecules. These are strong intermolecular forces between the slightly negative oxygen atom in one water molecule and the slightly positive hydrogen atom in another water molecule. These bonds must be broken in order for the water to change from a liquid to a gas and requires a great amount of energy thus explaining water's high latent heat of vaporization.
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.
Calculating the amount of water reacted is simple with a scale. As long as the mass of the water before evaporation is measured, one can find the amount of water evaporated simply by measuring the mass of the water after evaporation and taking the difference of the mass. To convert this to volume, simply divide the mass by the density of water (typically 1g/cm3).
The amount of heat that must be removed from steam to change it to a liquid is the latent heat of vaporization of water, which is approximately 2260 kJ/kg at atmospheric pressure. This is the amount of energy required for water to change from a gas to a liquid state at a constant temperature.
Vaporization is the change of liquid water to water vapor. Vaporization requires addition of the latent heat of vaporization to liquid water. The latent heat of vaporization supplies the liquid water molecules with enough energy to become vapor molecules. The latent heat of vaporization at 1.0 atmosphere pressure is about 1000 Btu per lbm ( 2260 kJ per kg ).
At critical pressure, the distinction between liquid and gas phases disappears as the substance exists as a supercritical fluid. In this state, the latent heat of vaporization becomes zero because there is no longer a clear boundary between the liquid and gas phases for the substance to transition between. The behavior of the substance at critical pressure is unique and results in the disappearance of the latent heat of vaporization.
The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2260 joules per kilogram.
The latent heat of vaporization of water is approximately 2260 kJ/kg at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature. This is the amount of energy required to change 1 kg of liquid water at its boiling point into steam at the same temperature.
Perspiration coats the outside of the skin with moisture (water). The water evaporates. Evaporation requires heat to be absorbed by the water (the latent heat of vaporization). Heat is removed from the body surface to provide the water with the latent heat of vaporization.
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.
The water trap is used to prevent any water vapor from escaping the system during the experiment. This ensures that the heat energy needed to vaporize the water is accurately measured, allowing for the determination of the latent heat of vaporization of water.
Energy is absorbed when water changes state from a solid to a liquid to a gas. This energy is used to break the bonds between water molecules during melting and vaporization. It is known as the latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization, respectively.
The latent heat of vaporization of water at 212 degrees Fahrenheit at atmospheric pressure involving only vaporization and no saturation is 970 BTU/lb, so to evaporate 15 lbs of water we need 970 x 15 = 14550 BTU's
the water's latent heat of vaporization is being pulled from the air, the water pulls heat from the room to undergo a phase change.
The heat required to convert water to steam is known as the latent heat of vaporization. It is around 2260 kJ/kg at standard atmospheric pressure. This energy is needed to break the intermolecular bonds in liquid water and convert it into vapor.
When water reaches 100 degrees Celsius, the energy being put into it is used to break the hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules together, causing the water to transition from a liquid to a gas state (vaporization). This energy is known as the latent heat of vaporization.
