Question
The heat of vaporization of water at 100°C is
- 4.186 J
- 539 J/g
- 539 cal/g
- 80 cal/g
Answer
539 cal/g
Explanation
The heat of vaporization of water at 100°C is approximately 539 cal/g or 2260 J/g. This represents the energy required to convert water from liquid to vapour at that temperature.
