The latent heat of vaporisation of water requires more energy.

This is because on melting, the intermolecular bonds in water are only weakened whereas on boiling, the bonds are completely broken, which requires a larger amount of energy.

What do you call the heat energy that is released or absorbed during a change of state of water?

The heat energy released or absorbed during a change of state of water is called latent heat. This energy is used to break or form intermolecular bonds without changing the temperature of the substance.


What is specific latent heat of vaporisation?

Is the amount of energy required to change 1kg of liquid into gas with no temperature change.


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 information does the latent 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.


Define latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourisation?

Latent heat of vapourisation can be define as the rate by which water is heat to vapourise, it has a difference with evaporation because evaporation occurs directly when the water start heatin while vapourisation always start in a specific temperature

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).


Is latent heat of vaporisation fixed?

No, the latent heat of vaporization is not fixed and can vary depending on the substance. It represents the amount of energy required to change a unit mass of a substance from liquid to gas at a constant temperature and pressure.
