Question

What is the Latent heat of ice?

Answer 1

Latent heat:

• The amount of heat that is required for a phase change of a unit mass of a substance without any change in temperature is known as latent heat.

Latent heat of ice:

• During melting, the ice takes up latent heat that is required to change the phase of ice from solid to liquid phase.
• A total of $334\mathrm{J}$ of energy is required to liquefy $1\mathrm{g}$ of ice at $0°\mathrm{C}$ which is called the latent heat of melting.
