Answer» Latent heat is thermal energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamics system, during a constant-temperature process — usually a first-order phrase transition. If we think about substances at a molecular level, gaseous molecules have more vibration than liquid molecules. So when you add heat to a liquid, you are actually causing the molecules to vibrate. The latent heat is the energy required to change the molecular movement. Each substance has a unique latent heat value. state of matter transforms from gas to liquid and from liquid to solid if the latent heat is given off. |
