Option 3 : a, c and d
The correct answer is option 3 i.e a, c and d.
Concept:
- Latent Heat is an amount of heat absorbed by a unit mass of the substance to change its state without change of temperature. Hence statement 'a' is correct and the statement 'b' is wrong.
- The S.I. unit of Latent heat is Joules per kilogram. Hence statement 'c' is correct.
- Latent heat is used up in overcoming the force of attraction between the molecules of the substance. Hence statement 'd' is correct.
- For e.g - Latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization involved in phase changes, i.e. a substance condensing or vaporizing at a specified temperature and pressure.
- Latent heat of vaporization: It is the heat energy required to change 1 kg of the material in its liquid state at its boiling point to 1 kg of the material in its gaseous state.
- It is also the amount of heat energy released when 1 kg of vapour changes into 1 kg of liquid.
- Latent heat of fusion: It is the heat energy required to change 1 kg of the material in its solid state at its melting point to 1 kg of the material in its liquid state.
- It is also the amount of heat energy released when at melting point 1 kg of liquid changes to 1 kg of solid.
