what is latent heat?
The heat energy that is taken in or given out by a substance when it changes state
6 of 9
The specific latent heat of fusion?
it's the heat needed to change a mass of 1 kg the substance from a solid at its melting point into liquid at the same temperature.
7 of 9
The specific latent heat of vaporisation?
is the heat needed to change the substance from a liquid at its boiling point into vapour at the same temperature.
