Solution

LATENT HEAT SENSIBLE HEAT
1.Latent heat is the amount of heat absorbed or released during transition of phase when temperature remains fixed. 1.Sensible heat is the amount of heat needed for change the temperature without undergoing phase change.
2. it is defined for that system which have transition of phase. 2.it is defined for that system having no phase transition.
3.It explains the change in internal energy. 3.It explains the exchange of energy between matter and surroundings.
