No. Latent heat of vaporization is defined as the energy required to VAPORIZE 1 kilogram of a liquid completely at its boiling point. Latent heat of sublimation is the energy required to SUBLIME 1 kilogram of a solid completely into a gas at constant temperature. They're different. Note that the temperatures should be constant during the processes.

∙ 12y agoWhen a substance is below the triple point, the equilibrium will be between solid and vapor rather than solid/liquid or liquid/vapor. Sublimation is the direct change from solid to vapor without any intermediate phase change. The latent heat of sublimation is the energy required to change a given quantity of solid into the vapor at equilibrium. It is analogous to (but not the same as) latent heat of melting (energy required to melt the solid to liquid) and latent heat of vaporization (energy required to change a liquid into a gas).

Is heat released or absorbed during sublimination?
Sublimation is when a solid turns into a gas. During sublimation the solid gains energy to turn into a solid.
Can latent heat be zero?
No, latent heat can never be zero.Because latent heat is the hidden heat so there has to be heat more than zero.
Heat that causes a substance to change form is called?
latent heat :)
What is laten heat?
what is latent heat
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 process releases the latent heat of water vapor to make the air warmer?
1. Process that release "Latent Heat" : a. Freezing, b. Condensation, - (Greatest amount of released Latent Heat.) c. Deposition. 2. Process that absorbs "Latent Heat" : a. Melting, b. Evaporation, - (Greatest amount of absorbed Latent Heat.) c. sublimation.

Why is latent heat important to the atmosphere?
Latent heat is an important form of atmospheric energy. Latent heat is a property of water vapor in the atmosphere and when water vapor condenses it releases latent heat. Latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water and this heat affects the behavior of the weather.
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 is the heat that is released when water condenses and changes to liquid form?
The latent heat of vaporisation.
What is laten heat?

What do you call heat that is added or removed from a substance but does not change the state of the substance sensible heat latent heat super heat or radiation heat?
Latent Heat.
What is latent heat evaporation?
Latent heat of evaporation of water to steam is 2270 KJ/Kg
What is the heat stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?
Latent
