Which of these quantities determines the amount of heat required to melt a given amount of a substance? specific heat capacity thermal energy latent heat of fusion latent heat of vaporization
I would go with latent heat of fusion !
Latent heat is energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature process. An example is a state of matter change, meaning a phase transition, such as ice melting or water boiling
Thanks
Specific heat capacity is the heat required to increase the temperature of 1kg by 1 celcius . Thermal energy is the heat latent heat of vaporization is the enthalpy change required to transform a given quantity of a substance from a liquid into a gas at a given pressure
