Question

Explanation of latent heat of melting on the basis of kinetic model

Answer 1

Since temperature is not rising, it's not kinetic energy it's getting converted to. Experimentally heat is absorbed to melt a solid or to vaporise a liquid and as the temperature remains constant at the melting or boiling temperature, the entropy must be increasing.

Answer 2

Answer:

as per the kinetic model,the latent heat looses the force of attraction between the molecules of a substance and this changes the state of a substance
