Question

the latent heat of seawater is different than pure water due to the dissolved solids and gases present. false true

Explanation:

Seawater contains dissolved solids (like salts) and gases. These impurities affect the physical properties of water, including latent heat (the heat absorbed or released during phase changes without temperature change). The presence of these substances modifies the intermolecular forces and the energy required for phase transitions, so the latent heat of seawater differs from that of pure water.

Answer:

True
