Question

Give me a clear explanation of latent heat.

Answer 1

Latent heat is energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature process. Two common forms of latent heat are latent heat of fusion (melting) and latent heat of vaporization (boiling). ... In both cases the change is endothermic, meaning that the system absorbs energy.

Answer 2

hi

latent heat is the heat energy required to change the state of something

latent heat are of 2 types:

1) latent heat for vapourisation

2) latent heat for fusion

1) it is used to convert from solid » liquid

2) it is used to convert from liquid » gas
