Option 2 : 1 and 3
CONCEPT
- Latent Heat: The amount of heat required per mass to change the state of any substance. It is a hidden form of heat.
- The change in state always occurs at a constant temperature.
- The SI unit of latent heat is Joule/kg
- Latent heat of fusion and vaporization:
- In the process of melting or vaporization, the temperature remains constant. The amount of heat needed to change the state of matter having mass m is-
- Q = m L
- Latent heat of fusion: It is the heat required for 1 kg of substance to change it from solid to liquid state without change of temperature.
- Latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.36 × 105 J/kg
- In CGS = 80 cal / gm.
- Latent heat of Vaporization: It is the heat required for 1 kg of substance to change it from liquid to gaseous state without change of temperature.
- Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.25 × 106 J/kg.
- In CGS = 536 cal / gm
EXPLANATION
The latent heat is hidden heat for change in state.
In the process of change of state temperature remains constant.
⇒ Latent heat is fixed at a given temperature, thus independent of temperature
The volume of the object while changing the state is fixed.
⇒ Latent heat is independent of volume.
∴ Statement 1and 3 are true ⇒ Option 2 is correct.
