Question

Difference Between - specific heat of fusion and specific latent heat of vaporization​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Specific heat:

• Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance a certain amount.
• The specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram °C = 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than any other common substance.

latent heat of fusion:

• The energy required to change the phase of a substance is known as a latent heat.when the phase change is from liquid to a gas, we must use the latent heat of vaporisation.
• specific latent heat of vaporisation which measures the heat energy to change 1 kg of a solid into a liquid.
