26 cze 2023 · The heat which a solid absorbs when it melts is called the enthalpy of fusion or heat of fusion and is usually quoted on a molar basis. (The word fusion means the same thing as “melting.”) When 1 mol of ice, for example, is melted, we find from experiment that 6.01 kJ are needed.

30 sty 2023 · The most common example is solid ice turning into liquid water. This process is better known as melting, or heat of fusion, and results in the molecules within the substance becoming less organized. When a substance converts from a solid state to a liquid state, the change in enthalpy (ΔH Δ H) is positive.
The heat of fusion is the enthalpy change when a unit mass of a substance changes its state from solid to liquid at a constant temperature and pressure. It is sometimes called enthalpy of fusion or latent heat of fusion.
Heat of fusion, also called enthalpy of fusion or latent heat of fusion, is a quantity of energy needed to melt or freeze a substance under conditions of constant pressure. When studying chemistry, “fusion” simply has the same definition as melting.
In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as (latent) heat of fusion, is the change in its enthalpy resulting from providing energy, typically heat, to a specific quantity of the substance to change its state from a solid to a liquid, at constant pressure.
The specific enthalpy of fusion (more commonly known as latent heat) of water is 333.55 kJ/kg at 0 °C: the same amount of energy is required to melt ice as to warm ice from −160 °C up to its melting point or to heat the same amount of water by about 80 °C. Of common substances, only that of ammonia is higher.
The conversion of a solid to a liquid is called fusion (or melting). The energy required to melt 1 mol of a substance is its enthalpy of fusion (ΔH fus). The energy change required to vaporize 1 mol of a substance is the enthalpy of vaporization (ΔH vap). The direct conversion of a solid to a gas is sublimation.
