Question:
Define Latent Heat of Fusion and Latent Heat of vaporisation.
Answer:
The latent heat of fusion of a substance is the quantity of heat required to convert one unit mass of the substance from solid state to the liquid state at its melting point without any change of temperature. The quantity of heat required to convert one unit mass of a liquid into vapour at its boiling point without any change of temperature is called its latent heat of vaporisation. [Another better definition provided by one of our read Mr. Saheel Deshpande is as follows:] Latent heat of vaporisation: It is the amount of heat consumed when 1 kg of liquid changes into vapor at constant temperature and pressure.
