Question 49

A student is determining the specific latent heat of vaporisation of a liquid.

She puts the liquid in a well-insulated container and heats it with a 150 W heater. The mass of the liquid when it starts to boil is 450 g. She continues to heat the liquid for a further 10 minutes10\text{ minutes}10 minutes, after which the mass of the remaining liquid is 150 g.

What is the specific latent heat of vaporisation of the liquid? (Assume that all the thermal energy from the heater is used to vaporise the liquid.)
