Solution

To calculate the specific latent heat of vaporisation of nitrogen, we can use the formula:

Energy transferred = mass x specific latent heat

We can rearrange this formula to find the specific latent heat:

Specific latent heat = Energy transferred / mass

We know that the energy transferred was 1440 J and the mass of nitrogen that vaporised was 0.0072 kg. So we can substitute these values into the formula:

Specific latent heat = 1440 J / 0.0072 kg = 200,000 J/kg

So, the specific latent heat of vaporisation of nitrogen is 200,000 J/kg.
