In a laboratory test of a cooling system, a sample of liquid sulfur dioxide at its boiling point is heated. The process continues until 0.48 kg of the liquid has vaporised.
The total thermal energy transferred to the sulfur dioxide to cause this change of state is 0.168 MJ0.168\text{ MJ}0.168 MJ.
Calculate the specific latent heat of vapourisation of sulfur dioxide.
