Question

What is the latent heat of fusion of a solid? How much is the latent heat of fusion of ice in SI units?

Answer 1

• The latent heat of fusion of a solid is the quantity of heat in joules required to convert 1 kg of the solid into liquid, at its melting point, without any change in temperature.
• The latent heat of fusion of ice is 3.34 × 10⁵ J/kg
