The same amount of heat energy is needed for latent heat of fusion as the latent heat of vaporization. Indicate whether the statement is true or false
ANS: F
The latent heat of fusion requires the addition of 80 calories per gram to transition from liquid to solid.
There are only a few hydrogen bonds being broken in this process. The latent heat of vaporization, on
the other hand, requires the addition of 540 calories per gram for a water to become water vapor. The
difference is attributed to the high amounts of hydrogen bonds that need to be broken. Information can
be found in the section Water Has Unusual Thermal Characteristics.
