Question

Fill in the blank spaces:

The amount of heat energy supplied to boiling water at ${100}^{0}C$ is called latent heat of -------------- of steam.

• A. Evaporation
  
• B. Vaporisation
  
• C. Both A & B
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both A & B

Answer is C

The latent heat of evaporation (or, equivalently, of vaporization), is the amount of heat required to turn a unit mass of liquid at its boiling temperature into a unit mass of gas at the same temperature.
