Question

Why is latent heat of vaporization higher than fusion

Answer 1

Latent heat of vaporization is a physical property of a substance. It is defined as the heat required to change one mole of liquid at its boiling point under standard atmospheric pressure. It is expressed as kg/mol or kJ/kg. ... The heat of vaporization of water is about 2,260 kJ/kg, which is equal to 40.8 kJ/mol...

Answer 2

Explanation:

Latent heat of vaporization is higher than latent heat of fusion because: vaporization or change of state from liquid to gas requires higher potential energy as compared to change of state from solid to liquid(latent heat of fusion).
