Question

What do you understand by the term Latent heat of fusion? How much is the latent heat of fusion of ice?

Answer 1

The amount of heat required to break the Van der Waals forces of attraction between solid particles so that it could change into Liquid (Without rising the temperature) is known as Latent heat of Fusion.
Latent heat of Fusion of ice at 0 degree Celsius = 3.34*10^5 J/kg

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:the amount of heat required to change 1kg of salt into liquid at atmosphere pressure without any change n temperature at its melting point , is known as latent heat of fusion . The latent heat of fusion of ice in SI unit is 3.35×10^5 J/kg
