Question

What is Lfusion in the equation Q=mLfusion

Answer 1

`L_{\text{fusion}` is latent heat of fusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Latent heat is basically termed as hidden heat.
• It is defined as the amount of heat required to change 1 g of a substance at the temperature of its melting point from the solid to the liquid state at constant temperature.
• The formula that relates heat and latent heat of fusion is given by :

`Q=mL_{\text{fusion}}`

Here,

m is mass of substance

`L_{\text{fusion}` is latent heat of fusion.
