What is latent heat? Explain why latent heat is important for the redistribution of energy
What will be an ideal response?
The latent heat of vaporization is the energy needed to convert liquid water to water vapor. Quantitatively, the latent heat of vaporization is 2260 kJ/kg at 100°C. Thus, it takes 2260 kJ of energy to convert 1 kilogram of water at 100°C to water vapor. When the process is reversed and the water changes from a gas back to a liquid, this same amount of energy is released to the environment.
