Question

What is latent heat of fusion?

Answer 1

0 degree Celsius it may water or ice

Answer 2

Latent Heat:- It is defined as the heat required to convert a solid into a liquid or vapour, or a liquid into a vapour, without change of temperature.

Latent Heat of Fusion:- It refers to the phase change between solid and liquid without changing temperature.

Take note that although 'heat' is often thought as state of being hot, heat actually refers to the transfer of heat energy between objects.

Thus, the latent heat of fusion encompasses the process of adding heat to melt a solid and the process of subtracting heat to freeze a liquid.

The latent heat of fusion, noted as L subscript f, has the same equation as the general equation for latent heat.



This equation states that the heat Qthat must be added or removed for a phase change to occur is proportional to the mass of the substance m times its unique latent heat of fusion
