22 7.2 Why is it high for water?
To vaporise water, the molecules must completely separate from one another, so the hydrogen bonds between them must be broken; that requires a very large amount of energy.
The energy does not raise the temperature (it goes into overcoming attractions), hence "latent" (hidden).
