Heat stored in water vapour is

A. Specific heat

B. Latent heat

C. Absolute heat

D. Relative heat

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

When air is cooled and water vapour condenses to form water liquid, energy is released as water particles 'give up' some of their energy in order to slow down and move closer together again. The same is true when liquid water freezes to become ice. This energy is also called latent heat.
