Solution:
The above statement is true.The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to convert the unit mass of a liquid into its vapour state at its boiling point without a temperature change. As the molecules gain more kinetic energy, they become more likely to separate from the liquid and become a gas. The required increase in internal energy can be described as the energy needed to break the intermolecular interactions in the liquid. It is the amount of heat energy required to overcome the forces of attraction between the particles of a liquid and convert the same into a vapour in the gaseous state.
