Question

what is latent heat also define latent heat of fusion vaporization

Answer 1

Dear Student, Latent heat is defined as the quantity of heat absorbed or released by a substance undergoing a change of state at constant temperature and pressure. Latent heat of fusion is the quantity of heat absorbed by a substance that undergoes phase change from solid to liquid at its normal melting point. Latent heat of vaporization is the quantity of heat absorbed by a substance that undergoes phase change from liquid to gaseous state at its normal boiling point. Regards
