What is the symbol for latent heat?
The symbol for latent heat is ( L ).
The critical pressure at which the latent heat of vaporization for water is zero is?
Its the temp AND pressure at which there is no difference between the liquid water and the vapor (steam) for water that is - around 647 K (374 °C; 705 °F) and 22.064 MPa (3200 PSIA or 218 atm)
What is the opposite of latent heat?
The opposite of latent heat is sensible heat. Sensible heat is the heat that causes a change in temperature of a substance without a change in phase.
What is laten heat?
"Latent heat" refers to the heat energy absorbed or released during a change of state without a change in temperature. For example, when ice melts into water, heat is absorbed from the surroundings without a rise in temperature, which is the latent heat of fusion. Similarly, when water vapor condenses into liquid water, heat is released without a decrease in temperature, known as the latent heat of condensation.
Can you measure Latent heat with a thermometer?
No, latent heat cannot be measured directly with a thermometer. Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a phase change (e.g. melting, boiling) without a change in temperature. The amount of latent heat can be calculated using specific equations and constants for each substance.
What is the symbol for latent heat?
The symbol for latent heat is ( L ).
What is latent heat evaporation?
Latent heat of evaporation of water to steam is 2270 KJ/Kg
What is the heat stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?
Latent
What is the opposite of latent heat?

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.
Why is latent heat important to the atmosphere?
Latent heat is an important form of atmospheric energy. Latent heat is a property of water vapor in the atmosphere and when water vapor condenses it releases latent heat. Latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water and this heat affects the behavior of the weather.
How do you define latent heat and What is its relationship to potential energy?
Latent heat is the heat required to achieve a change of phase - for example, to melt ice and convert it to water. As to the relationship with potential energy, latent heat IS a type of potential energy.
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 requires more energy the latent heat vaporisation of water or the latent fusion of ice?
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.
