Specific gravity of LPG?
Specific gravity of LPG is 54 kg/liter.
Why is latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion?
latent heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to change 1 kg of a liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point where latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy required to change 1 kg of solid to liquid at its melting point so that is why latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion.
Why does vinegar freeze faster than water?
Because water has a higher specific heat AND a higher latent heat of liquification (i.e. inverse of freezing).
What is the difference between latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourization?
the heat which is absorbed by a substance for changing solid into liquid state by keeping temperature constant is called latent heat of fusion while the heat which is evolved during phase change of liquid to vapour state at constant temperature is called latent heat of vapourization
What is the energy required to go from a solid to a liquid called?
The latent heat of fusion
What is the electrical method to determine the specific latent heat of vaporisation?
coclude the specific latent heat of vaporization
What is the specific latent heat of fusion of mercury?
The specific heat temperature of mercury is 14 degrees Celsius. Comparably, the specific temperature of water is 417.9 degrees and air is 101 degrees.
What are the applications of latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourisation?
the application of latent heat fo fussion is ice is used to put in drinks to make cool because ice has hih specific heat capcity
What is latent heat of LPG?
Because LPG is a mixture, the value of the latent heat will depend on the exact composition of the mixture. The main components of LPG are:propane - C3H8propylene (propene) - C3H6isobutane - C4H10n-butane - C4H10butylene (butene) - C4H8Since LPG is usually mostly propane and butane, a rough estimate would be in the range of the values for these two components. Note that latent heat is dependent on temperature as well. for the purposes of this answer we will use 30 °F (near the boiling point of butane at atmospheric pressure)Hvap(propane @ 30 °F) = 163 BTU/lbHvap(butane @ 30 °F) = 166 BTU/lb
What unit is specific latent heat measured in?
The unit for specific latent heat is J Kg-1(Joules per Kilogram)
Was Joseph Black famous?
yes he was known for Latent heat, specific heat, and the discovery of carbon dioxide
Can latent heat be zero?
No, latent heat can never be zero.Because latent heat is the hidden heat so there has to be heat more than zero.
What two things does the specific latent heat of a material depend on?
I think it is mass and energy
What are the factors that affect specific latent heat of fusion of a substance?
The amount of energy needed to change the "state of matter" is termed as "latent heat". This is not same for vapourisation (liquid to vapour) or for fusion (solid to liquid). For example, latent of fusion is 79.7 cal whereas latent heat for vapourisation is 541 calories. The latent depends on how closely the atoms and molecules in the matter are closely packed.
Specific gravity of LPG?
Specific gravity of LPG is 54 kg/liter.
Heat that causes a substance to change form is called?
latent heat :)
Define latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourisation?
Latent heat of vapourisation can be define as the rate by which water is heat to vapourise, it has a difference with evaporation because evaporation occurs directly when the water start heatin while vapourisation always start in a specific temperature
