What is specific latent heat of fusion?
the energy required to change 1kg of substance from solid to liquid
What is specific latent heat of vaporisation?
the energy required to change 1kg of substance from liquid to gas
What is the calculation of latent heat?
energy divided by mass
What is Internal Energy?
the combined energy of kinetic and potential energy of the particles in a substance
How do you increase Internal energy?
heating the substance which will increase the particles kinetic energy and therefore the overall internal energy
