If a material has a specific latent heat of vaporization of 2260 J/kg and 5 kg of the material is vaporized, how much energy is transferred (Changes of state and specific latent heat)

The correct answer is 11300 J.

Particle lens: Describe arrangement, motion, spacing, collisions, or energy changes only when they are relevant here. This question asks: If a material has a specific latent heat of vaporization of 2260 J/kg and 5 kg of the material is vaporized, how much energy is transferred (Changes of state and specific latent heat). The correct response is 11300 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 specific latent heat when energy transferred and mass 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 408 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the particle lens rather than a generic particle-model sentence.
