Apex: The amount of energy required to turn a mole of a solid into a liquid
What else can I help you with?
The amount of energy involved in melting a substance without changing its temperature is called the?
It is called the enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as (latent) heat of fusion.
What does latent heat or fusion mean?
Latent heat of fusion is the energy required to change a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point, without changing its temperature. It represents the energy needed for the molecules to break free from their fixed positions in a solid structure.
The amount of energy needed to change a material from a solid to a liquid is the heat of what?
The latent heat of evaporation
What is the energy required to go from a solid to a liquid called?
The latent heat of fusion
What are the factors that affect specific latent heat of fusion of a substance?
The amount of energy needed to change the "state of matter" is termed as "latent heat". This is not same for vapourisation (liquid to vapour) or for fusion (solid to liquid). For example, latent of fusion is 79.7 cal whereas latent heat for vapourisation is 541 calories. The latent depends on how closely the atoms and molecules in the matter are closely packed.
The amount of heat needed to melt one kilogram of a substance?
The amount of heat required to melt one kilogram of a substance is known as the heat of fusion or the latent heat of fusion. It represents the energy needed to change a solid into a liquid at its melting point without a change in temperature.
Q - What is the difference between latent heat of fusion and latent heat of solidfication?
They are the same thing. Fusion and solidification both mean the changing of a liquid to a solid.
What is SI unit of latent heat of fusion?
The latent heat of fusion is defined as the heat energy required to convert a kg of a substance of liquid into solid of the same substance without a change of temperature. Q = mL where Q = Heat Energy in joules, m=mass of substance, L= Latent heat of fusion Taking units, [J] = [kg] [L] [L] = [J]/[kg] so units of latent heat of fusion are joules.kg-1
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.
Why is latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion?
latent heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to change 1 kg of a liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point where latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy required to change 1 kg of solid to liquid at its melting point so that is why latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion.
What requires more energy the latent heat vaporisation of water or the latent fusion of ice?
The latent heat of vaporisation of water requires more energy. This is because on melting, the intermolecular bonds in water are only weakened whereas on boiling, the bonds are completely broken, which requires a larger amount of energy.
Energy needed to change a material from solid to liquid 3 WORDS?
Heat of Fusion
