The latent heat of vaporization of a substance is always
A
Greater than its latent heat of fusion
B
Greater than its latent heat of sublimation
C
Equal to its latent heat of sublimation
D
Less than its latent heat of fusion
Solution
(a)The latent heat of vaporization is always greater than latent heat of fusion because in liquid to vapour phase change there is a large increase in volume.
Hence more heat is required as compared to solid to liquid phase change.
