∙ 11y agoIt is the amount of heat that is required to melt something, and the amount of heat that it gives off when it freezes. (They are the same amount.)

Why is heat of fusion called the latent heat of fusion?
It is called latent because heat is supplied without any increase in temperature.
What is latent heat of fusion of 1kg water?
The latent heat of fusion of 1kg water is 334 kJ/kg. (Wikipedia)
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 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 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.
Why is heat of fusion called the latent heat of fusion?
It is called latent because heat is supplied without any increase in temperature.
What is the energy required to go from a solid to a liquid called?
The latent heat of fusion
What is latent heat of fusion of 1kg water?
The latent heat of fusion of 1kg water is 334 kJ/kg. (Wikipedia)
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.
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 information does the latent heat of fusion give?

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 the difference between latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourization?
the heat which is absorbed by a substance for changing solid into liquid state by keeping temperature constant is called latent heat of fusion while the heat which is evolved during phase change of liquid to vapour state at constant temperature is called latent heat of vapourization
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

Why is heat energy needed to melt a solid what is this heat energy called?
This energy is the enthalpy of fusion (or latent heat of fusion).
