![Specific latent heat LOs
Definition
A specific latent heat of a substance is the amount of energy needed
to change the state of _____ of the substance without changing its
________________ .
This energy may be absorbed or released depending on the direction
of the change of state.
Any substance will have two specific latent heats:
• latent heat of fusion (Lf ; solid liquid)
• latent heat of vaporisation (Lv ; liquid gas) [note spelling]
