What is the heat stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?
Latent
How does specific latent heat of water vary with temperature?
Latent heat of water is the heat required to change its state at a particular temperature BECAUSE of the pressure at which the water is at at the point of fusion or evaporation.The latent heat is not affected by temperature (in fact there is no temperature change during absorption of latent heat) it is affected by the pressure acting on a substance. As the pressure increases, the latent heat (of evaporation) decreases, consequently with the change in pressure there is also a different temperature at which the evaporation takes effect, higher pressure, higher temperature at the evaporation point.
What is heat called that is stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?
the answer is latent Latent heat is correct, but specifically the latent heat of evaporation of (whatever is evaporated, in this case water) water. When the evaporated water condenses, it releases this latent heat as it precipitates, which is why it tends to feel warmer during rainstorms (unless the water is running down your neck in which case it feels horrible).
The form of energy related to the change of the state of water?
The energy which must be transferred to or from a sample of water in order to change it's state is called the Latent Energy or Latent Heat - for example Latent Heat of Evaporation or Latent Heat of Freezing.
What process releases the latent heat of water vapor to make the air warmer?
1. Process that release "Latent Heat" : a. Freezing, b. Condensation, - (Greatest amount of released Latent Heat.) c. Deposition. 2. Process that absorbs "Latent Heat" : a. Melting, b. Evaporation, - (Greatest amount of absorbed Latent Heat.) c. sublimation.
Amount of heat used to change from one state to another?
Known to be the latent heat of evaporation or latent heat of fusion in case of boiling and in case of freezing respectively.
What does the body depend upon when cooling itself in a hot environment?
The latent heat of evaporation of water - the evaporation of sweat.
Which property of water accounts for the cooling effect of perspiration?
The latent heat of evaporation.
What is the job of the evaporator in the refrigeration system?
To absorb the heat from the refrigerated area using latent heat of evaporation.
Why is latent heat important to the atmosphere?
Latent heat is an important form of atmospheric energy. Latent heat is a property of water vapor in the atmosphere and when water vapor condenses it releases latent heat. Latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water and this heat affects the behavior of the weather.
The amount of energy needed to change a material from a solid to a liquid is the heat of what?
The latent heat of evaporation
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
