Question

Define latent heat of Fusion, is it same as latent heat of vaporization ? Comment ? ​

Answer 1

Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to convert 1 kg of solid at its melting point to liquid at same temperature.

Latent heat of vaporization It is the amount of heat required to convert 1 kg of liquid at its boiling point to gas at same temperature. Different liquid has different latent heat of vaporization.

No, Latent heat of fusion is not same as latent heat of vaporization.

Answer 2

${\sf{\color{green}{Answer:-}}}$

The latent heat of fusion is the heat required to change the solid from solid to liquid state without any change in temperature. While Latent heat of vaporization is the heat required to change the liquid from liquid to vapor state without any change in temperature.
