Question

The SI unit of Specific latent heat of fusion is:

• A. Jg^-1
• B. Jg^-1 °C^-1
• C. J kg^-1
• D. K Jkg^-1

Answer 1

The correct option is C

J kg^-1

1. The amount of heat energy required to melt one kilogram of solid at its melting point, without any rise in temperature is called the specific latent heat of fusion.
2. In the SI system, it is measured in joules per kilogram (J kg^-1).

Hence, the correct answer is (C) Jkg^-1
