Question

Write the difference between latent heat of vaporization and latent heat of fusion.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The latent heat of fusion is the heat required to change the solid from solid to liquid state without any change in temperature. ... While Latent heat of vaporization is the heat required to change the liquid from liquid to vapor state without any change in temperature.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat that a solid substance requires to change its phase from solid phase to liquid phase at a constant temperature while Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat that a liquid substance requires to change its phase from the liquid phase to vapour phase at a constant temperature.

• Latent heat of fusion is denoted by Hf while latent heat of vaporization is denoted by Hy. With regard to the constant temperature, latent heat of fusion is the change in heat at the melting point of a substance whereas the latent heat of vaporization refers to the change in heat at the boiling point of a substance.
