Question

please describe the two types of latent heat
1) latent heat of fusion
2) latent heat of vaporisation

Answer 1

heat of 1joule required to convert 1gof solid into liquid without any change in temperature is called latent heat of fussion.


heat of 1joule required to convert liquid into vapour without change in temperature is called latent heat of vaporisation.

Answer 2

The amount of heat energy required by ice to change into water,is called latent heat of fusion.

the energy required to change water into vapour at its boiling point without any change in temperature is called latent heat of vaporization of water

Hope it helps...
