Question

In order to make a phase change from solid to liquid, you must add energy equal to the __________ of fusion.
  		A. 	specific heat
  		B. 	combustion
  		C. 	latent heat
  		D. 	convection energy

faiqraees · Answer

Latent heat is energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature process that is specified in some way. An example is latent heat of fusion for a phase change, melting, at a specified temperature and pressure.
