Question

latent heat of vaporization of liquid is generally higher than the latent heat of fusion for the substance. plz ans in true/ false​

Answer 1

Answer:TRUE.

Explanation:

Latent heat of vaporization is higher than latent heat of fusion because:

vaporization or change of state from liquid to gas requires higher potential energy as compared  to change of state from solid to liquid(latent heat of fusion).This is because the intermolecular space between the molecules of gases is the largest.Hence more heat is absorbed during vaporization and its causes to rise its (substances')temperature by a higher value........

hence the heat required by a substance to vaporize is more thus latent heat of vaporization is more.
