Question

What is latent heat of fusion​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.
