Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the term for the heat required to change a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand that substances can exist in different states, like solid and liquid.
  • Step 2: Know that when a solid is heated, it can change into a liquid at a specific temperature called the melting point.
  • Step 3: Recognize that during this change from solid to liquid, heat is needed to break the bonds holding the solid together.
  • Step 4: This heat that is required to make the change happen at the melting point is a specific term.
  • Step 5: The term for this heat is 'latent heat of fusion'.
