Best Answer

An increase of decrease in the amount of energy within that substance initiates the state change. For example the heat of fusion from ice to water is 334kj/kg which means if i have 1kg of ice at 0 degrees Celsius (or -32 Fahrenheit) I have to add 334kj of energy to it in order to change it to 1kg of water at 0 degrees.
