Question

What does the statement “The value of latent heat of fusion of ice is $3.35\mathrm{x}105\mathrm{J}/\mathrm{Kg}$” refer to?

Answer 1

1. Latent heat is defined as the heat or energy that is absorbed or released during a phase change of a substance.
2. The latent heat of fusion of ice is $3.34\times 105\mathrm{J}/\mathrm{Kg}$which means that $3.34\times 105\mathrm{J}$heat is required to change $1\mathrm{kg}$ice into the water at its melting point at the same temperature.
