Enthalpy of fusion/vaporization is the amount of energy added to a system to melt of boil a substance or the amount of energy removed from a system to condense or freeze a substance.
Enthalpy is a state function, and to a first approximation does not depend on temperature. So the change in enthalpy to go from solid to a gas directly (sublimation) at some temperature is equal to the sum of the enthalpies associated with going from a solid to a liquid (fusion) and going from a liquid to a gas (vaporization) at other temperatures.
Enthalpy of Vaporization and Enthalpy of Condensation.
31.4kJ/mol
Latent heat is the amount of thermal energy required to change the phase of a substance. Latent heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed to change it from a solid to liquid or a liquid to solid, and the latent heat of vaporization is the thermal energy needed to change from a liquid to gas or a gas to liquid. For example, in the equation Q = mL, Lfusion (latent heat of fusion) for water is 75.5 cal/gram. Lvaporization (latent heat of vaporization) for water is 539 cal/gram. Substances have different latent heats.

The latent heat of evaporation
Enthalpy is a state function, and to a first approximation does not depend on temperature. So the change in enthalpy to go from solid to a gas directly (sublimation) at some temperature is equal to the sum of the enthalpies associated with going from a solid to a liquid (fusion) and going from a liquid to a gas (vaporization) at other temperatures.
The first is called enthalpy of vaporization, the second is called enthalpy of fusion.
Molar heat of fusion: the heat (enthalpy, energy) needed to transform a solid in liquid (expressed in kJ/mol). Molar heat of vaporization: the heat (enthalpy, energy) needed to transform a liquid in gas (expressed in kJ/mol).

The heat needed to melt one gram of a solid at its melting point is the heat of fusion.
The enthalpy of vaporization is different.
Fusion refers to the phase change from liquid to solid (or vv) and vaporization refers to the phase change from liquid to gas (or vv). Heat is either absorbed or released from the substance when these events occur. We use the molar enthalpies to calculat exactly how much heat is transferred during these processes. Ex .. If we are to boil (vaporize) 3 moles of some substance with a known molar enthalpy of vaporization of 120 KJ/mole then we multiply. 3 moles x 120 KJ/mole = 360 KJ of energy is needed for the vaporization to take place.
The necessary heat is called enthalpy of vaporization.
