What is the specific latent heat of fusion of water in SI and CGS units

Open in App

Solution

The heat (enthalpy) of fusion in the CGS system is measured in ergs, and it is 1 (g-cm^2)/s. In the SI system, the enthalpy of fusion is measured in Joules. 1 erg is 10^-7 Joules.

The enthalpy of fusion of 1g of water is 334 Joules, which is 334 x 10^7 ergs
