Solution

The correct option is C 84 kJ kg1.


AB represents liquid to vapour phase change which occurs for 10 min and in each minute 42 kJ of heat is supplied. Thus,
Q=42×10=420 kJ

This heat vapourises 5 kg of the substance. This heat vapourises 5 kg of the substance. If Lv is the latent heat of vapourisation then we have,
5Lv=420 [Q=mLv]

Lv=84 kJ kg1 .
