Why is latent heat of vaporisation much larger than latent heat of fusion?

Define specific latent heat of vaporisation.

The latent heat of vaporization of a substance is always

A Thermally Insulated Pot Has 150 G Ice at Temperature 0°C. How Much Steam of 100°C Has to Be Mixed to It, So that Water of Temperature 50°C Will Be Obtained? Given : specific heat capacity of water, c = 1 cal/g °C Latent heat of vaporization of water = 540 cal/g Latent heat of melting of ice = 80 cal/g
