Question

The heat required to melt 1 kg of a substance is called its _____.

  1. Specific heat capacity
  2. Specific latent heat of fusion
  3. Specific latent heat of vaporization
  4. Heat capacity

hintHint:

specific latent heat of fusion

The correct answer is: Specific latent heat of fusion


    The amount of energy required to change the state of 1 kg of a material is known as specific latent heat.Hence the amount of heat needed to turn 1 Kg of solid into liquid at atmospheric pressure at its melting point is known as specific latent heat of fusion.
