Question

Define the following. (a) Specific laten heat of fusion. (b) Specific laten heat of vaporisation​

Answer 1

Answer:

The specific heat of fusion of a substance is the quantity of heat required to convert a unit mass of the substance from solid to liquid state at its melting point.

The enthalpy of vaporization (symbol ∆Hvap), also known as the (latent) heat of vaporization or heat of evaporation, is the amount of energy (enthalpy) that must be added to a liquid substance to transform a quantity of that substance into a gas.
