If 1.5 kg of water is boiled and the specific latent heat of vaporization for water is 2,260,000 J/kg, calculate the energy transferred during this boiling process (Changes of state and specific latent heat)

3,390,000 J

Particle lens: Describe arrangement, motion, spacing, collisions, or energy changes only when they are relevant here. This question asks: If 1.5 kg of water is boiled and the specific latent heat of vaporization for water is 2,260,000 J/kg, calculate the energy transferred during this boiling process (Changes of state and specific latent heat). The correct response is 3,390,000 J, because density links mass and volume, so the answer must preserve which quantity is being calculated. In Changes of state and specific latent heat, the marking point should connect directly to calculate energy transferred during melting, freezing, boiling or condensing when mass and specific latent heat are known. If the question includes values, the working must keep the appropriate unit and operation; if it is an explanation, it must name the relevant particle behaviour or energy change. This item belongs to Internal energy and energy transfers, so avoid answers that switch to a different quantity, confuse heat with temperature, or describe gas pressure without collisions when collisions are the reason. Checkpoint 396 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the particle lens rather than a generic particle-model sentence.
