Thermal Properties of Matter · Calorimetry and change of state
The heat extracted out of x gram of water initially at C to cool it down to C is sufficient to evaporate gram of water also initially at C. The value of x (closest integer) is.
(Take latent heat of water 2256 kJ/kg, specific heat capacity of water 4200 J/kg. K)
(Take latent heat of water 2256 kJ/kg, specific heat capacity of water 4200 J/kg. K)
We corrected a printing error in the original paper
Source printed the latent heat as “2256 kJ/kg. K”.
