The term was introduced around 1762 by Joseph Black. It is derived from the Latin latere (to lie hidden). Black used the term in the context of calorimetry when referring to the heat transferred that caused a change of volume while the thermodynamic system was held at constant temperature.
In contrast to latent heat, an energy is called a sensible energy or heat, when it causes processes that do result in a change of the temperature of the system.

What else can I help you with?
What is heat called that is stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?
the answer is latent Latent heat is correct, but specifically the latent heat of evaporation of (whatever is evaporated, in this case water) water. When the evaporated water condenses, it releases this latent heat as it precipitates, which is why it tends to feel warmer during rainstorms (unless the water is running down your neck in which case it feels horrible).
What is the heat that is released when water condenses and changes to liquid form?
The heat released when water condenses and changes to liquid form is called the latent heat of condensation. This heat is released because the water vapor loses energy as it transitions to a liquid state, leading to a release of thermal energy.
What type of energy is absorbed or released when a substance changes phase?
pChanges in bonding arrangements between atoms and molecules result in absorption or release of heat (called latent heat). For example when water freezes, some heat is extracted to the environment, and the temperature does not fall until all is frozen. After that further removal of heat causes the temperature to fall below freezing point.
What is the energy required to go from solid to a liquid called?
The latent heat of fusion
The temperature at which matter changes from a liquid to a solid is called?
The latent heat of fusion. ____ Freezing point
Heat that causes a substance to change form is called?
The heat that causes a substance to change form is called latent heat. This heat is absorbed or released during a phase change, such as melting, freezing, vaporization, or condensation, without causing a change in temperature.
The form of energy related to the change of the state of water?
The energy which must be transferred to or from a sample of water in order to change it's state is called the Latent Energy or Latent Heat - for example Latent Heat of Evaporation or Latent Heat of Freezing.
The energy involved in a phase change is called the?
Heat associated with phase change is called Latent Heat
What is heat called that is stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?
the answer is latent Latent heat is correct, but specifically the latent heat of evaporation of (whatever is evaporated, in this case water) water. When the evaporated water condenses, it releases this latent heat as it precipitates, which is why it tends to feel warmer during rainstorms (unless the water is running down your neck in which case it feels horrible).
What is the energy required to go from a solid to a liquid called?
The latent heat of fusion
What is the difference between latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourization?
the heat which is absorbed by a substance for changing solid into liquid state by keeping temperature constant is called latent heat of fusion while the heat which is evolved during phase change of liquid to vapour state at constant temperature is called latent heat of vapourization
What is the symbol for latent heat?
The symbol for latent heat is ( L ).
What is the energy to go from a solid to a liquid called?
The latent heat of fusion
Why is heat of fusion called the latent heat of fusion?
Heat of fusion is called the latent heat of fusion because it is the heat energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid phase, or vice versa, without a change in temperature. This heat energy is "hidden" as it is being used to break the intermolecular bonds holding the substance together, rather than increasing its temperature.
Difference between latent heat from sensible heat?
Two forms of heat are relevant in air conditioning:1. Sensible Heat2. Latent HeatSensible heatWhen an object is heated, its temperature rises as heat is added. The increase in heat is called sensible heat. Similarly, when heat is removed from an object and its temperature falls, the heat removed is also called sensible heat. Heat that causes a change in temperature in an object is called sensible heat.Latent heatAll pure substances in nature are able to change their state. Solids can become liquids (ice to water) and liquids can become gases (water to vapor) but changes such as these require the addition or removal of heat. The heat that causes these changes is called latent heat.Latent heat however, does not affect the temperature of a substance - for example, water remains at 100°C while boiling. The heat added to keep the water boiling is latent heat. Heat that causes a change of state with no change in temperature is called latent heat.Appreciating this difference is fundamental to understanding why refrigerant is used in cooling systems. It also explains why the terms 'total capacity' (sensible & latent heat) and 'sensible capacity' are used to define a unit's cooling capacity. During the cooling cycling, condensation forms within the unit due to the removal of latent heat from the air. Sensible capacity is the capacity required to lower the temperature and latent capacity is the capacity to remove the moisture from the air.
What is the heat that is released when water condenses and changes to liquid form?
The heat released when water condenses and changes to liquid form is called the latent heat of condensation. This heat is released because the water vapor loses energy as it transitions to a liquid state, leading to a release of thermal energy.
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).
