A. The heat required to increase the temperature of an object 1°C

The latent heat is the energy absorbed or released by a body when its temperature changes

the energy absorbed or released during a phase change is the freezing enthalpy or vapor enthalpy depending on the phases

The energy involved when bonds are broken or formed is the formation enthalpy

the energy involved in a chemical reaction is the reaction enthalpy.
