What is the specific heat of boiling water converting into steam?

 

[Abullais Ghazi]

The specific heat would be infinite.

 

[Kehkashan]

How?

 

[Abullais Ghazi]

s=Q/mδT
Since boiling of water is an isothermal process therefore
s=Q/m×0=∞
Simple...

Thank you very much

 

[CWatters]

Can I check you really meant "specific heat"?

 

[rude man]

I second cwatters: are you sure you didn't mean heat of vaporization or enthalpy of vaporization? otherwise abullais is right.

 

[Kehkashan]

No I am sure. I never meant that the answer seems to be correct in my book that's why I agreed with that guy I mean abullais.
