(a) Conversion of solid to vapour is called sublimation. Name the term used to denote the conversion of vapour to solid.

(b) Conversion of solid state to liquid state is called fusion; what is meant by latent heat of fusion?

Answers (1)

Sol.

A) The opposite of sublimation is generally known as  de-sublimation. It is also known as deposition. In this Phenomenon, vapour get converted into solid directly without having liquid state.

B) At melting point of a solid, if we supply heat then it is used in changing solid state to liquid state without changing temperature.

This phenomenon is called fusion and this given heat is called latent heat of fusion.

Water at 0°C has more energy than ice at 0°C because of this latent heat of fusion.
