Latent heat is the heat required to achieve a change of phase - for example, to melt ice and convert it to water. As to the relationship with potential energy, latent heat IS a type of potential energy.

What are two changes in state that require the release of latent potential energy?

Two changes in state that require the release of latent potential energy are condensation, where gas turns into liquid and releases energy, and freezing, where liquid turns into solid and releases energy.


Why is latent heat considered potential energy?

This is referred to as conservation of energy


What information does the latent of fusion give?

latent heat of fusion tells us about the amount of energy that must be taken off from water at 00C to fuse it into ice at 00C . Actually this in this phase temperature remains constant and this energy is (either latent heat of fusion or latent heat of vaporization is the potential energy which is possessed by the states by their virtue.


Which type of energy is stored as a result of a change in position or condition?

Potential Energy (change of position) and latent energy (change of state condition as freezing)


When you boil a liquid and it turns into an ideal gas where does the energy go because the temperature remains constant so kinetic energy is the same and ideal gases don't have potential energy?

It turns into latent heat - the latent heat of evaporation. This energy is recovered when the gas condenses back into a liquid.


What is the relation between the kinetic energy and latent heat?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion of particles, while latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a phase change without a change in temperature. They are separate forms of energy and do not have a direct mathematical relationship, but both are measures of the internal energy of a system.


What are two changes in state the require the addition of latent potential energy?

Two changes in state that require the addition of latent potential energy are melting and vaporization. When a solid melts into a liquid or a liquid vaporizes into a gas, energy is absorbed to overcome intermolecular forces and change the state of the substance without changing its temperature.


Define latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourisation?

Latent heat of vapourisation can be define as the rate by which water is heat to vapourise, it has a difference with evaporation because evaporation occurs directly when the water start heatin while vapourisation always start in a specific temperature

The form of energy related to the change of the state of water?

The energy which must be transferred to or from a sample of water in order to change it's state is called the Latent Energy or Latent Heat - for example Latent Heat of Evaporation or Latent Heat of Freezing.


Is it correct that water can transmit energy from one point to another?

Yes, in may ways. As the latent heat of evaporation. As heat (as a result of its thermal capacity) As potential energy as with a dam As kinetic energy as with a tide / wave


What energy is stored in a stretched rubber band?

If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. Latent energy. Potential energy
