explain the Concept of latent heat using ice and water as example use a temperature time graph for explanation

Explanation:
In order to initiate a phase change and complete it, some energy in the form of heat is required. This heat is called latent heat. Thus all the energy supplied during this phase will be utilized only for phase change process and not for increasing the temperature. Thus during the release of latent heat the temperature remains constant.
Answer:
latent heat, energy absorbed or released by a substance during a change in its physical state (phase) that occurs without changing its temperature. The latent heat associated with melting a solid or freezing a liquid is called the heat of fusion; that associated with vaporizing a liquid or a solid or condensing a vapour is called the heat of vaporization. The latent heat is normally expressed as the amount of heat (in units of joules or calories) per mole or unit mass of the substance undergoing a change of state.
Latent heat arises from the work required to overcome the forces that hold together atoms or molecules in a material. The regular structure of a crystalline solid is maintained by forces of attraction among its individual atoms, which oscillate slightly about their average positions in the crystal lattice. As the temperature increases, these motions become increasingly violent until, at the melting point, the attractive forces are no longer sufficient to maintain the stability of the crystal lattice. However, additional heat (the latent heat of fusion) must be added (at constant temperature) in order to accomplish the transition to the even more-disordered liquid state, in which the individual particles are no longer held in fixed lattice positions but are free to move about through the liquid. A liquid differs from a gas in that the forces of attraction between the particles are still sufficient to maintain a long-range order that endows the liquid with a degree of cohesion. As the temperature further increases, a second transition point (the boiling point) is reached where the long-range order becomes unstable relative to the largely independent motions of the particles in the much larger volume occupied by a vapour or gas. Once again, additional heat (the latent heat of vaporization) must be added to break the long-range order of the liquid and accomplish the transition to the largely disordered gaseous state.
