As Salt concentration of seawater increases, boiling pt increases. however, vapour pressure decreases. how do we calculate the latent heat of evaporation?

We need to know the specific gravity of the brine you are using.
@ a SG of 1.02 the latent heat is 330KG.

The water temperature needs to be raised to the boiling point, then heat needs to be added that causes the water to vaporize without raising the temp. That added heat is the latent heat. I am not sure there is a formula for finding latent heat but there could be. I do not know.
