106J of heat is required to boil off completely 2kg of a certain liquid. Neglecting heat lost to the surroundings, the latent heat of vaporization of the liquid is
A
2.0 x 106J kg-1
B
5.0 x 106J kg-1
C
2.0 x 105J kg-1
D
5.0 x 105J kg-1
correct option: d

From the heat exchange involved, the latent heat of vaporization, L can be deduced from the relation:

ML = 106, where M = mass of the liquid.

∴ 2 x L = 106

=> L = 106/2 = 5.0 x 105J kg-1
