what is latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization explain with the help of a diagram
Answers
Latent heat of fusion
The amount of heat energy that is required in change 1 kg of solid into liquid at atmospheric pressure and it's melting point is know as latent heat of fusion
Latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.34 x 10⅝ J /kg
Latent heat of vaporisation
The amount of heat which is required to convert 1 kg of the liquid ( at its boiling point ) to vapour of gas without any change in temperature
Latent heat of vaporisation =22.5 x 10⅝ J/ kg
Answer:
The amount of heat energy that is required to change 1 kg of a solid into liquid at atmospheric pressure at its melting point is known as the latent heat of fusion.
The amount of heat energy that is required to change 1 kg of liquid into vapour of gas without any change in temperature is known as the latent heat of vaporisation.
