Question

Define latent heat of vaporization and fusion

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

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

Answer:

• Latent heat of vaporisation

The amount of heat energy required to change 1 g of a substance at the temperature of its boiling point from liquid to vapour state without changing temperature

• Latent heat of fusion

The amount of heat required to change 1 g of a substance at the temperature of its melting point from the solid to the liquid state without changing temperature.
