Question

When a solid melts, its temperature remains the same, so where does the heat go?

What is latent heat? ​

Answer 1

When a solid melts, its temperature remains the same. This is because all the heat is used up in changing of state of matter from solid to liquid.

Latent heat:-

it is the heat required to change the state of matter without changing its temperature.

Answer 2

Answer:the heat is used in breaking the lattice of solid or you can simply say it is used to break the association between the solid particles

Explanation:The association between solid particles is called as lattice and hence the name "latent heat"
