Why does water have high latent heat of vaporization?

Answered by admin @



That is, water has a high heat of vaporization, the amount of energy needed to change one gram of a liquid substance to a gas at constant temperature. ... Note that some molecules of water – ones that happen to have high kinetic energy – will escape from the surface of the water even at lower temperatures.
