(N/A) Vaporization is the phase transition of a substance from the liquid state to the gaseous or vapor state. It occurs when molecules in a liquid gain enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together,allowing them to escape into the surrounding space as gas.
The normal boiling point of a substance is defined as the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals the standard atmospheric pressure,which is $1.013 \times 10^5 \ Pa$ or $1 \ atm$.

Two different liquids of the same mass are kept in two identical vessels, which are placed in a freezer that extracts heat from them at the same rate, causing each liquid to transform into a solid. The schematic figure below shows the temperature $T$ versus time $t$ plot for the two materials. We denote the specific heat in the liquid states as $C_{L 1}$ and $C_{L 2}$ for materials $1$ and $2$, respectively, and the latent heats of fusion as $L_1$ and $L_2$, respectively. Choose the correct option.
