Question

Latent heat of vaporization of water is more than latent heat of fusion of ice.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The latent heat of vaporization of a liquid is the quantity of heat required to convert $1kg$ liquid at its boiling point to vapour.

The latent heat of fusion of solid is the quantity of heat required to convert $1kg$ solid at its melting point to liquid. The specific heat capacity of water is more than ice. Hence, the latent heat of vaporization of liquid water is more than the latent heat of fusion of ice.
