Question

different terms latent heat of fusion of a solid what is the value of latent heat of vaporisation of water

Answer 1

The latent heat associated with melting a solid or freezing a liquid is called the heat of fusion. While ice melts, it remains at 0 °C (32 °F), and the liquid water that is formed with the latent heat of fusion is also at 0 °C. The heat of fusion for water at 0 °C is approximately 334 joules (79.7 calories) per gram.
