Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Latent heat capacity of a substance in defined as the amount of heat energy required to change the state of a unit mass of the material.
`Q = m xx L`
Therefore
`L= (Q)/(m )`
Where L = Latent heat capacity of the substance
Q= Amount of heat
m= mass of the substance
The SI unit for latent heat capacity is `J kg^(-1)`
