Question

what is latent heat and specific latent heat ​

Answer 1

A) LATENT HEAT:- Latent heat is thermal energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature process — usually a first-order phase transition.

B) SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT:- Specific Latent Heat. It takes a certain amount of energy to change the state of 1kg of water from solid to liquid. This amount of energy is called the Specific Latent Heat, lf, of water. The definition: "The amount of energy per kg (unit mass) required to change ice to water without change in temperature."

Answer 2

Specific Heat and Latent Heat. Specific heat: = energy required to change a unit mass of a material by 1°C. Units: energy per unit mass per degree. Latent heat = energy required to change the state (gas, liquid, solid) of a unit mass of material.
