Why do think the heat of vaporization for water is so much larger than the heat of fusion?

Fusion is the process of joining two elements together to make a heavier element (as in the hydrogen bomb). The energy released by fusion is fare larger than the energy required to vaporise water - the two processes just can not be equated.
I suspect you have your question muddled up.

What is the heat of vaporization value of water?
It is approximately 539.4 calories per gram.
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.
Amount of heat necessary to change the state of substance?
Heat of vaporization or enthalpy of vaporization. It is the additional energy, per unit mass, required after vaporization temperature (boiling point) is reached, to accomplish the change in state, from liquid to gas.
How much energy is needed to change 1 gram of ice to 1 gram of steam?
Assuming atmospheric pressure, ice of 0oC and steam of 100oC? This equals the heat of fusion + the specific heat of water * 100 + the heat of vaporization At 1 bar (rougly 1 atm): heat of fusion = 333.55 j/g specific heat = 4.186 j/(g*k) * 100 = 418.6 j/g heat of vaporization = 2257 j/g So 333.55 + 418.6 + 2257 = 3009.15 joules required.
What is latent heat of fusion of 1kg water?
The latent heat of fusion of 1kg water is 334 kJ/kg. (Wikipedia)
What is the difference between heat of fusion and heat of vaporization?
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.
What specific heat is the energy used to evaporate water or melt snow?
The first is called enthalpy of vaporization, the second is called enthalpy of fusion.
Which phase change reguires water to gain 2260 joules per gram?
vaporization
What is the heat of vaporization value of water?
It is approximately 539.4 calories per gram.
Which biological process uses the latent heat vaporization of water?
i think d...................... what you mean
Which property of water is demonstrated when we sweat?
if what i think your trying to ask its called condincation
What process the addition of energy to water?
watering the lawn with a sprinkler operated by a electric timer.
What is the heat energy released when water vapor change to a liquid called?
The heat energy released when water vapor condenses to a liquid is called "heat of vaporization".
What step changes liquid water to water vapor?
Vaporization is the change of liquid water to water vapor. Vaporization requires addition of the latent heat of vaporization to liquid water. The latent heat of vaporization supplies the liquid water molecules with enough energy to become vapor molecules. The latent heat of vaporization at 1.0 atmosphere pressure is about 1000 Btu per lbm ( 2260 kJ per kg ).
How do you use the word vaporization in a sentence?
Vaporization of water eventually results in the formation of clouds.
What is water as a gas?
vaporization water vapour Steam
What is water as gas?
vaporization water vapour Steam
