Question

Write three applications of latent heat of vaporization and latent heat of fusion in daily

life. Explain applications in 40 to 50 words. Also draw supportive picture for the

explanation.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Plates filled with food are able to absorb heat from the hot steam. The condensation of steam at the base of the plate releases a large quantity of heat and thus enables food such as cakes,fish, eggs and others to be steamed. A glass of hot water can be cooled faster by adding cold water or ice into it.
