What Is Latent Heat Of Fusion?
The amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance during a phase transition is called latent heat. The formula to calculate the latent heat is; Q= mL Q= amount of heat absorbed or released m= mass of the substance L= Specific latent heat The change in heat when solid changes to liquid or liquid changes to solid is called latent heat of fusion. Heat is absorbed when solid converts into liquid, so it is an endothermic reaction. The latent heat of fusion is an exothermic reaction when liquid converts into solid.
