Question
Explain the statement; “The specific latent heat of vaporization of wafer is 2260 × 103 J/kg”.
Solution
It means that at 100°C, 2260 × 103 J of heat energy is absorbed by 1 kg of water to convert it into steam at 100°C, or 1 kg of steam at 100°C liberates 2260 × 103 J of heat energy in converting into 1 kg of water at 100°C.
