Specific heat is used to identify substances. It is the amount of heat that is needed to raise a sample unit by one degree Celsius and is unique to each element, and therefore, unique to each compound.
Heat associated with phase change is called Latent Heat
One way to add heat to a substance without raising its temperature is by changing its state of matter. This process, known as phase change, involves adding heat energy to a substance to change it from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas. During this phase change, the temperature of the substance remains constant until the phase change is complete.
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.
Specific heat refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius, while latent heat is the heat absorbed or released during a phase change without a change in temperature. Specific heat affects the temperature change of a substance, while latent heat affects the phase change process. Both specific heat and latent heat play a role in heat transfer processes by determining how much heat is needed to change the temperature or phase of a substance.
During the heat of fusion, a substance is transitioning from a solid phase to a liquid phase. The heat energy is being absorbed by the substance, causing the particles to break free from their fixed positions and begin to move more freely. This results in a change in the physical state of the substance without a change in temperature.
During a phase change, the heat transferred to a substance is used to break intermolecular forces (latent heat), and thus the temperature of the substance does not change. The opposite also occurs: heat is transferred from a substance during a phase change without a decrease in temperature as intermolecular bonds form.

Sensible heat involves a change in a substance's temperature without a change in its phase. It is the heat exchange that causes a change in the temperature of a substance but does not result in a change of state (solid, liquid, gas).
Latent heat- the amount of heat required by a system/ substance to change phase. It's also heat absorbed or radiated during a change of phase at a constant temperature and pressure.
Adding or removing energy in the form of heat is needed to cause a substance to undergo a phase change. This extra energy helps break the intermolecular forces holding the particles together in their current phase, allowing them to rearrange into a new phase with different properties.
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.
