Question

Define latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization. Give one usefulness of each

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is the answer

Explanation:

Vaporization: It is the process of change of state from liquid to vapour. So. Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to change phase from solid to liquid at constant temperature. while latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to change phase from liquid to vapour at constant temperature.

Answer 2

Latent heat of fusion:

• Latent heat of fusion is the change in its enthalpy of a system that results from delivering energy, typically heat, to an explicit quantity of the substance to change its state from a solid form to a liquid form, at constant pressure.

• Latent heat of vaporization is a physical characteristic of a substance. It is defined as the heat necessary to change one mole of liquid at its boiling point under standard atmospheric pressure.

• Latent heat of vaporization is better than that of the latent heat of fusion.
