Explanation

The specific latent heat of vaporization of a substance is always a characteristic property of that substance. It represents the amount of heat energy required to convert one unit mass of the substance from its liquid phase to its gaseous phase at a constant temperature and pressure. This value remains constant for a particular substance regardless of the amount of substance being vaporized.
