Question 38

An experiment is set up to measure the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water using a 1.5 kW heater. After the water begins to boil, 120 g of water is converted to steam in 180 s.

Using these results, what is the value of the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water?

A

2.25 J/kg2.25\text{ J/kg}2.25 J/kg

B
