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 is laten heat?
"Latent heat" refers to the heat energy absorbed or released during a change of state without a change in temperature. For example, when ice melts into water, heat is absorbed from the surroundings without a rise in temperature, which is the latent heat of fusion. Similarly, when water vapor condenses into liquid water, heat is released without a decrease in temperature, known as the latent heat of condensation.
What are two changes of state for water that cause latent heat to be released?
When water vapor condenses into liquid water, latent heat is released. Similarly, when liquid water freezes into ice, latent heat is also released. These changes of state involve the release of latent heat because energy is being released as the water molecules transition to a lower energy state.
Why is water considered as high specific heat and latent heat of vaporization?
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.
What is called the release of latent heat along from water molecules on a wet surface?
The release of latent heat from water molecules occurs during the process of evaporation from a wet surface. This latent heat is absorbed by the water molecules to break intermolecular bonds, allowing them to transition from liquid to vapor state.
What materials have high latent heat capacity?
water
What are the factors that cause breezes to occur?
The high latent heat of water.
What accounts for stabilizing effects of Earth's ocean?
The high latent heat of water.
What are the factor that cause sea breeze to occur?
The high latent heat of water.
Explain why water is used in hot water bottle for fomentation?
bcoz water has high latent heat
What is latent heat evaporation?
Latent heat of evaporation of water to steam is 2270 KJ/Kg
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.
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.
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.
What is the latent heat of vaporization of water in joules per kilogram?
The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2260 joules per kilogram.
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).
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.
