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.
