What is latent heat?
Think about state changes like melting or boiling.
What does latent heat of fusion refer to?
Remember the term 'fusion' for melting.
What is the latent heat of fusion?
Think about melting ice.
True or False: Latent heat changes the temperature of a substance during a phase change.
Consider melting or boiling examples.
A 3 kg block of ice melts completely to water at 0°C. Calculate the heat energy absorbed using a latent heat of fusion of 334,000 J/kg.
Focus on applying the fusion formula.
If you have 2 liters of water that need to be converted to steam at 100°C, calculate the amount of heat required using a latent heat of vaporization of 2,260,000 J/kg.
Ensure unit conversions are accurate.
