Define: a) Latent heat b) Latent heat of fusion c) Latent heat of vaporisation.

Answer»

a) Latent heat: The amount of heat energy that is required to overcome the attraction energy among the particles is given by the latent heat of the substance. 

b) Latent heat of fusion: Latent heat of fusion is defined as the amount of heat energy required to change 1 kg of a solid, completely into liquid at atmospheric pressure at its melting point. 

c) Latent heat of vaporisation : Latent heat of vaporisation is defined as the amount of heat energy required to change 1 / of a liquid, completely into vapour at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.
