Specific Latent Heat

• specific latent heat

  energy needed for 1kg mass to change state
• in solids and liquids specific latent heat of fusion is used
• in liquids and gases specific latent heat of vapourisation is used
• graph of the two types of specific latent heat

  A) fusion

  B) vapourisation

  
• equation of specific latent heat

  E = mL

  energy = mass x specific latent heat
