The amount of heat required to change the state of 1 kg of a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point without any change in temperature is called:
Explanation:
The heat required to change a solid into a liquid at its melting point without a temperature rise is called the Latent Heat of Fusion. The word 'latent' means hidden, because this heat energy breaks intermolecular bonds to change the phase rather than increasing the kinetic energy (temperature) of the molecules.
