Question

What is laten heat of fusion​

Answer 1

During the process of melting, the solid and liquid phases of a pure substance are in equilibrium with each other. The amount of heat required to convert one unit amount of substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase — leaving the temperature of the system unaltered — is known as the latent heat of fusion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Latent heat (also known as latent energy or heat of transformation) is energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature process — usually a first-order phase transition.
