To change the phase of a body from solid to liquid or liquid to vapour heat is required.This amount of heat is proportional yo mass of body. Latent heat of fusion is this amount of heat per unit mass of the body to convert it from solid to liquid. Similar latent heat of vaporization is heat required...

To change the phase of a body from solid to liquid or liquid to vapour heat is required.This amount of heat is proportional yo mass of body. Latent heat of fusion is this amount of heat per unit mass of the body to convert it from solid to liquid. Similar latent heat of vaporization is heat required per unit mass to convert it from liquid state to vapour. Both latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization are contact for a particular material. read less

When a material in liquid state is given energy, it changes its phase from liquid to vapor; the energy absorbed in this process is called heat of vaporization. The heat absorbed by a unit mass of a given solid at its melting point that completely converts the solid to a liquid at the same temperature:...

The heat absorbed by a unit mass of a given solid at its melting point that completely converts the solid to a liquid at the same temperature: equal to the heat of solidification is known as latent heat of fusion. read less

Latent heat is the heat released or absorbed during a phase change,where the temperature does not change. this is called latent heat of vaporization. The latent heat of fusion is the amount of thermal energy required to cause a liquid to freeze...

Why are we able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup?
Surface area of a saucer is greater than the cup. More the surface area more there will be exchange the heat with the surrounding to reduce temperature of tea as well as more quantity of tea will enter in the mouth in one sip in case of saucer.
