What information does the latent heat 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.


What happens to the energy released from ice?

When water at 0 degrees is turned to ice at 0 degrees, the latent heat of 80 calories per gram is given off, which goes towards heating the space around the ice and raising its temperature.

How do you calculate the total heat required in kcal to take 70 grams of ice at -29.0 Celsius and convert it to steam at 106 Celsius?

heat energy required to raise the temperature of ice by 29 celsius =specific heat capacity of ice * temperature change *mass of ice + to change 1kg of ice at 0 celsius to water at 0 celsius =specific latent of fusion of ice*mass of water + heat energy required to raise the temperature of water by 106 celsius =specific heat capacity of water * temperature change *mass of ice + to change 1kg of water at 106 celsius to steam at 106 celsius =specific latent of fusion of ice*mass of steam


Difference between latent heat from sensible heat?

Two forms of heat are relevant in air conditioning:1. Sensible Heat2. Latent HeatSensible heatWhen an object is heated, its temperature rises as heat is added. The increase in heat is called sensible heat. Similarly, when heat is removed from an object and its temperature falls, the heat removed is also called sensible heat. Heat that causes a change in temperature in an object is called sensible heat.Latent heatAll pure substances in nature are able to change their state. Solids can become liquids (ice to water) and liquids can become gases (water to vapor) but changes such as these require the addition or removal of heat. The heat that causes these changes is called latent heat.Latent heat however, does not affect the temperature of a substance - for example, water remains at 100°C while boiling. The heat added to keep the water boiling is latent heat. Heat that causes a change of state with no change in temperature is called latent heat.Appreciating this difference is fundamental to understanding why refrigerant is used in cooling systems. It also explains why the terms 'total capacity' (sensible & latent heat) and 'sensible capacity' are used to define a unit's cooling capacity. During the cooling cycling, condensation forms within the unit due to the removal of latent heat from the air. Sensible capacity is the capacity required to lower the temperature and latent capacity is the capacity to remove the moisture from the air.

What happens to the heat when water solidifies into ice it absorbed or evolved?

I think it is evolved because if the heat is absorbed then the latent heat will be given to the matter( ice) then the ice will start melting


What are the applications of latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourisation?

the application of latent heat fo fussion is ice is used to put in drinks to make cool because ice has hih specific heat capcity


What happens when water at its melting point solidifies to ice without any change in temperature?

Latent heat is emitted.


What kind of heat is demonstrated when ice melts?

Why in ice cube at 0 degree Celsius is much effective in cooling a drink that the same mass of water at 0 degree Celsius what is the formula?

Latent heat of the ice, liquid water has no latent heat reserves. Perhaps at freezing we should call it "latent cold" but thermodynamics has always referred to it as latent heat whether at boiling or freezing. +++ It is latent heat because the water (liquid or ice) at freezing-point (0ºC) still contains heat energy as its temperature is at about 217ºK.


How do you define latent heat and What is its relationship to potential energy?

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.


How latent heat is an important source of atmospheric energy?

In the atmosphere latent heat is a property of water vapour. When water vapour condenses it releases latent heat, and latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water. This heat affects the behaviour of the weather. Similar effects occur in the change from liquid water to ice and vice versa.


Why does the ice cream feel cooler to the teeth than the ice cold water?

Ice cream feels cooler to our teeth than ice cold water because during the change of state some amount of heat is absorbed which is known as Latent Heat. So in ice no hidden heat is absorbed while in cool water latent heat of fusion or melting is absorbed.


Why does ice cream appear cooler to teeth than ice cold water?

Ice cream feels cooler to our teeth than ice cold water because during the change of state some amount of heat is absorbed which is known as Latent Heat. So in ice no hidden heat is absorbed while in cool water latent heat of fusion or melting is absorbed.
