Heat of Vaporization-the amount of heat required to convert unit mass of a liquid into the vapor without a change in temperature. For water at its normal boiling point of 100 C, the heat of vaporization is 2260 J g-1. 2260 J of heat must be absorbed by the water. Conversely, when 1 g of steam at 100 C condenses to give 1 g of water at 100 C, 2260 J of heat will be released to the surroundings.
Water can moderate temperature because of the two properties: high-specific heat and the high heat of vaporization. High-specific heat is the amount of energy that is absorbed or lost by one gram of a substance to change the temperature by 1 degree celsius.
