(1) Take a few pieces of ice in a glass beaker as shown in figure.
(2) Insert the bulb of a thermometer in ice and measure its temperature.
(3) Put the beaker on a stand and heat the ice using a burner.
(4) Record the temperature using the thermometer after every minute.
(5) As the ice is heated,it starts melting. Stir the mixture of ice and water.
(6) Continue the heating even after ice starts melting.
(7) Draw a graph of temperature versus time.

Define specific latent heat of fursion. OR
What is specific latent heat of fusion? State its units.

Explanation

The amount of heat energy absorbed at constant temperature by unit mass of a solid to convert to liquid phase is called the specific latent heat of fusion. And kcal`//` kg .
