No. Latent heat of vaporization is defined as the energy required to VAPORIZE 1 kilogram of a liquid completely at its boiling point. Latent heat of sublimation is the energy required to SUBLIME 1 kilogram of a solid completely into a gas at constant temperature. They're different. Note that the temperatures should be constant during the processes.

What is latent heat of sublimation?

When a substance is below the triple point, the equilibrium will be between solid and vapor rather than solid/liquid or liquid/vapor. Sublimation is the direct change from solid to vapor without any intermediate phase change. The latent heat of sublimation is the energy required to change a given quantity of solid into the vapor at equilibrium. It is analogous to (but not the same as) latent heat of melting (energy required to melt the solid to liquid) and latent heat of vaporization (energy required to change a liquid into a gas).


What process absorbs latent heat energy?

The process of changing a substance from one phase to another, such as melting, vaporizing, or sublimation, absorbs latent heat energy. This heat energy is used to break intermolecular bonds within the substance's structure, allowing the particles to move more freely.


What process releases the latent heat of water vapor to make the air warmer?

1. Process that release "Latent Heat" : a. Freezing, b. Condensation, - (Greatest amount of released Latent Heat.) c. Deposition. 2. Process that absorbs "Latent Heat" : a. Melting, b. Evaporation, - (Greatest amount of absorbed Latent Heat.) c. sublimation.


What is the symbol for latent heat?

The symbol for latent heat is ( L ).


Is heat released or absorbed during sublimination?

Heat is absorbed during sublimation, as the process involves a solid turning directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. This requires energy input to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid together and to overcome the forces of attraction between the solid molecules.


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 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.


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.
