Finding latent heat of vaporisation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the process of finding the latent heat of vaporization, with a participant named Boler seeking assistance. Boler initially expresses confusion about how to approach the problem but later shares an attempt using a specific equation. The response from another user, Chestermiller, indicates that Boler's effort is on the right track, suggesting that the equation used is appropriate for the calculation. The conversation emphasizes the importance of individual effort in problem-solving.
