What does the term latent mean?

Latent means present but not visible or apparent.


What is the latent heat of vaporization?

It is the additional amount of heat [measured in (the "big") calories ] required to cause boiling/vaporization of a liquid already at the boiling/vaporization temperature. Heat of vaporization is the amount of heat (540 calories/gram) needed to change a specific amount of liquid (1 gram) at it's boiling point into a gas without changing it's temperature. -Qwasas


Why is latent heat called hidden heat?

The latent heat of fusion refers to the heat of fusion in reactions that involve a solid that forms a liquid, or vice versa. The latent heat of vaporization is the latent heat involving a liquid that forms a gas or vice versa.Latent means hidden or unseen. In this context, the 'latent' heat is the heat that is not detectable as a temperature change in the substance. Rather than adding kinetic energy (which is detectable as a temperature change) some heat is required to break the bonds of the solid structure.


Why is ethanol treated with anhydrous?

Ethanol isn't "treated" with anhydrous. "Anhydrous" means "without water". Therefore, anhydrous ethanol simply means ethanol without any water molecules in it. It is normally 99.9% ethanol.

What means to change to a gas?

Vaporization is the process in which a liquid changes into a gas. There are two types of vaporization, evaporation and boiling. If a solid changes directly into a gas, the process is called sublimation.


What is the difference of absolute ethanol to the regular technical grade ethanol?

technical grade is bethween 96% and 98% ethanol and ethanol absolute means pure ethanol whithout water ('almost') 99.9% ethanol Absolute ethanol has no water whereas 96% ethanol has 4% water or 98% has 2% water. Thus, the reaction can occur with water.

What is the meaning of partial vaporization?

It means that some of it turns into a gas, and some of it remains liquid.
