Question

Is latent heat of fusion and latent heat of solidification same for water? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization/melting are the same thing. ... For example, when melting 1 kg of ice (at 0°C under a wide range of pressures), 333.55 kJ of energy is absorbed with no temperature change. The heat of solidification (when a substance changes from liquid to solid) is equal and opposite
