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 Energy in joules, m=mass of substance, L= Latent heat of fusion
Taking units,
[J] = [kg] [L]
[L] = [J]/[kg]
so units of latent heat of fusion are joules.kg-1
Latent heat is a type of heat, and heat is a type of energy. Therefore, units of energy are used. In the SI, that would be the joule.
Heat is a form of energy. In terms of kinetic theory it can be defined asthe sum of kinetic energy of molecules in a sample of a substance.-- Its SI unit is the Joule.-- Its CGS unit is the erg = 10-7 joule.Comment'Heat' is energy in transit between a warmer body and a cooler body. The definition given in the original answer is for 'internal energy', not heat.
There is none. Fahrenheit is not an SI unit.
No, meter is the SI unit of Length, Si unit of volume is meter3.
The SI unit of mass is the kilogram.
Latent heat is a type of heat, and heat is a type of energy. Therefore, units of energy are used. In the SI, that would be the joule.
The SI unit for heat is the same as for energy, the joule (newton-meter). The SI unit for temperature (comparative heat potential) is the Kelvin (K).

The SI unit for energy - any type of energy - is the Joule.The SI unit for energy - any type of energy - is the Joule.The SI unit for energy - any type of energy - is the Joule.The SI unit for energy - any type of energy - is the Joule.
"SI unit" and "metric unit" basically means the same. The only metric system used nowadays is the SI. For a specific object, the heat capacity is measured in J/K. To compare different materials, it is of interest to specify the heat capacity PER KILOGRAM, so the units are J / (K times kg). It is also possible to specify heat capacity in J / (K times mole). This would also be SI units.
All types of energy are measured in joules. Heat is a type of energy.
The SI unit of energy is the Joule The SI unit of energy is the Joule
The metric unit for heat is the calorie - the heat required to raise 1 gram of water by 1 deg C. In the SI unit system it would be the kilocalorie - the heat to raise 1 kg by 1 degC
In SI, specific heat capacity is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin.

No, Fahrenheit is the Imperial Unit for temperature, not heat. Heat is energy in transit and is measured in joules (in the SI sytem).
