Specific latent heat is the amount of energy required to change the state of 1 kilogram (kg) of a material without changing its temperature. As there are two boundaries, solid/liquid and liquid ...

The relationship used to determine the heat energy required to change the state of a substance is: \(E_{h} = ml\) \(E_{h}\) is the energy required to change the state ( \(J\)) \(l\) is the ...

Now, to figure how much energy is discharged when all that rain is produced, you have to use the so-called "latent heat of condensation." When water vapor cools sufficiently, it condenses into ...
