When changing from a solid to a liquid, melting, the heat absorbed is called the heat of fusion. When the reverse takes place, freezing, it is called the heat of solidification. For a single substance they are the same.

What i the energy transfer when changing between solid and liquid?

The energy transfer when changing from solid to liquid (melting) is called latent heat of fusion. This energy is used to break the bonds holding the solid together and turn it into a liquid. The energy is stored as potential energy in the liquid until the reverse process (solidification) occurs.

Calculate heat of fusion?

The heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid at its melting point. It is typically measured in joules or calories per gram. The specific heat of fusion for water is 334 J/g.
