Latent heat is thermal energy absorbed or released during phase changes without temperature change. It's crucial in heating systems, refrigeration, and water cycles.

공식

The calculator applies Q = m × L for melting, vaporization, or sublimation
Q
m × L for melting — m × L for melting
L
L value — Variable used in the calculation

단계별 가이드

  1. 1Enter the mass of substance and its latent heat value
  2. 2The calculator applies Q = m × L for melting, vaporization, or sublimation
  3. 3Results show total thermal energy transferred

풀어진 예시

입력
m = 1 kg water, L_vap = 2,260 kJ/kg
결과
Q = 2,260 kJ
Energy to boil 1 kg water

피해야 할 일반적인 실수

  • Confusing latent heat with specific heat capacity
  • Using sensible heat calculations for phase changes

자주 묻는 질문

Why doesn't temperature change during boiling?

Energy goes into breaking molecular bonds to transition from liquid to gas, not increasing molecular motion.

Is latent heat the same for all substances?

No, different substances have different latent heat values depending on molecular structure and intermolecular forces.
