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.
