There are many different kinds of plastic, so there would be no "fixed" latent heat of vaporization. Additionally, heating most plastics would not cause them to vaporize. They would burn in the presence of air (oxygen), or pyrolize in an inert atmosphere. Plastics won't generally change from a liquid to a gas like water becomes steam when it is hot enough. The heat will cause chemical changes in the plastic, and it will cease to be what it was in the beginning.

Does sand have a high or low specific heat capacity?
sand have low specific heat capacity.
Dimensional formula for heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
heat capacity- ML2T-2K-1 Specific Heat Capacity-M0L2T-2K-1
What is the specific heat capacity by mechanical method?
what the specific heat usefull
What instrument can be used to calculate specific heat capacity?
A calorimeter can be used to calculate specific heat capacity.
What is relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
The "specific heat capacity" is simply the heat capacity per unit - it might be per mass unit, per volume unit, or per amount of moles.
What substances have the lowest heat capacity?
Plastics.
What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
What is the specific heat capacity of Polyester?
The specific heat capacity of polyester is 2.35degrees
Does sand have a high or low specific heat capacity?
sand have low specific heat capacity.
Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
What plastics cannot absorb heat?
All material substances, including plastics of every type, can absorb heat to a greater or lesser degree (the measurement of heat absorbing ability is officially known as heat capacity). There are plastics that will melt if you heat them, but they still absorb heat, even as they melt.
What is the speciic heat capacity of KNO3?
What is the specific heat capacity of kno3
Is the heat capacity of a body the same as its specific heat capacity?
The heat capacity depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/K.The specific heat capacity not depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/mol.K.
Dimensional formula for heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
heat capacity- ML2T-2K-1 Specific Heat Capacity-M0L2T-2K-1
What is the specific heat capacity by mechanical method?
what the specific heat usefull
What instrument can be used to calculate specific heat capacity?
A calorimeter can be used to calculate specific heat capacity.
In which temperature water has maximum specific heat capacity?
The specific heat capacity of water does not change much within-phase (ie, as a solid it has one specific heat capacity, as a liquid/gas it has another)
