The term "white spirit" can refer to different types of solvents or thinners used for various purposes, such as paint thinning or cleaning. The specific latent heat of white spirit can vary depending on its composition and manufacturer.

In general, the latent heat refers to the amount of heat energy absorbed or released during a phase change, such as the transition from a liquid to a vapor. However, since white spirit is typically composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons, it does not undergo a distinct phase change like water does when it boils.

To provide a more accurate answer, it would be necessary to know the specific formulation or brand of white spirit you are referring to. Different brands or grades of white spirit may have slightly different properties, including boiling points and latent heat values. Therefore, it's recommended to consult the product's safety data sheet (SDS) or contact the manufacturer for the precise information on the latent heat of the specific white spirit you are interested in.
