Heat Energy Required vs Mass

Heat of Vaporization

The heat of vaporization is the energy needed to convert a liquid to gas at constant temperature.

Formula

Q = m * L_v

For water, L_v = 2,260,000 J/kg = 2260 kJ/kg, much larger than the heat of fusion because more energy is needed to fully separate molecules.

Example Calculation

Boiling 1 kg of water at 100°C.

  1. 01Q = m * Lv
  2. 02Q = 1 * 2260000
  3. 03Q = 2,260,000 J = 2260 kJ
