Latent heat of fusion of ice?
It is defined as the amount of heat required for the 1 mole of ice to bring a change in its state, that is, from solid state to liquid state. It is also known as enthalpy of fusion, specific melting...
What is the definition of heat of fusion?
The phrase 'heat of fusion' means heat absorbed by a unit mass of a solid at its melting point in order to convert the solid into a liquid at the same temperature
What is the unit of latent heat of fusion?
The latent heat of fusion is defined as the heat energy required to convert a kg of a substance of liquid into solid of the same substance without a change of temperature. Q = mL where Q = Heat...
