The latent heat of fusion is the energy required to change

1kg of ice to water at constant temperature
ie there is a
phase change from solid liquid

The latent heat of vapourisation is the energy required to change

1kg of water to steam at constant temperature
ie there is a
phase change from liquid gas

Phase changes Latent neat

When a substance
goes through a change of phase or state

heat is added or removed without

changing the
temperature

Instead the state of matter

changes solid to liquid for example

heat energy

During a phase change the energy supplied does not increase the

temperature of the substance but it is used to weaken or break the bonds

For example during the phase change from ice to water at O c the heat

supplied goesonly in weakening the bonds but not in increasing the temperature The heat supplied

during the weakening of bonds is referred to as the latent heat of fusion
