Q1:

Latent heat absorbed by 1 lb of water at 212°F, when it is changed to steam at 212°F, may be around __________ BTU.

A 180

B 970

C 3.97

D none of these

ANS:A - 180

The latent heat absorbed by water at its boiling point (212°F) when it changes to steam at the same temperature is approximately 970 BTU per pound. So, the correct answer is: 970
