How much heat is required to vaporize 0.25kg of ethanol at 78∘C? (Latent heat of vaporization of ethanol = 8.5×105J kg−1

Given: m = 0.25kg, Lv = 8.5×105J kg−1. Q = mLv = 0.25×8.5×105 = 212500J = 212.5kJ. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 212.5 kJ. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
