what is latent heat of fusion? why this heat called latent heat and what does it do
Answers
When solid is converted into liquid at a certain temperature ( melting point ) it is said to be latent heat of fusion.
latent heat means transformation of one phase to the another one if it turns from liquid to gas it is said to be latent heat of vaporization.
In some condition solid are directly converted into gas this latent heat is called latent heat of sublimation.
in transformation from liquid to solid, gas to liquid and gas to solid, latent heat is given out by the body. ( substance )

Answer:
Latent heat, energy absorbed or released by a substance during a change in its physical state (phase) that occurs without changing its temperature. ... The latent heat is normally expressed as the amount of heat (in units of joules or calories) per mole or unit mass of the substance undergoing a change of state.
