Specific latent heat is defined as the thermal energy per unit mass required to change the state of a substance at constant temperature. The specific latent heat of vaporization is usually greater than that of fusion because vaporization involves a greater change in volume and an increase in the separation of molecules, requiring more energy. In a given scenario, the specific latent heat of fusion of water was calculated to be 335 J g–1.
