AMiggsseee Specitic Latent Heat of Vaporization ater Objective Theory Tools Equipment Precautions To enable the student 10 measure the specific la nt heat of vaporization of water by an electric method The specific kalent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat that is needed change | substance in the liquid stare into the gas state at the boiling point When an electric heater is immersed in a water. the electrical energy Mowing in heater will be totally converted into heat energy in the water: From electricity. the electrical energy is given by FE Pe where "P* is the heater power in watts. “t” time in seconds and "E" electrical energy in joules. From heat, we know that the heat gained by the water is given hy H=me(T2-11) where H" is heat energy in joules, “my” water mass in" specific heat in "/KgC". 11 water initial temperature in degrees Celsius before heeting, 2 is the watcr temperature affer heating in degree Celsius Assuming there no heat lost to the surroundings of the water. we can say the heal energy by the water is equal to the electrical energy Heat energy vained by water-Hlecirical eneray given by heater that is Pt-mt,, By solving for "Lo" we obtain L.=puim, hus trom this equation we need the following data to measure the specific heat of the water |. Plectric heater power, We can obtain this data from the specification ofan electric heater Ww eating time: We need a stop-wateh Jo measure the heating time fer moss: We need & balance to migasure water that tuned into liquid 1. Container: t hold the water 2. Water: to measure its specific latent heat of fusion 3. Lagging: to prevent heat from being st to the surroundings 1. Electric heater : to supply heat 2. Siop-wateh: 1o measure time interval during which heat is supplied to water 3, Balance: measure the mass of the water that melted |.
