Differences between Latent Heat of Fusion and Latent Heat of Vaporisation are tabulated.
The differences between latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporisation are tabulated below-
| Characteristics | Latent heat of fusion | Latent heat of vaporisation |
| Change of state of matter | Required to change 1 kg of solid in to liquid | Required to change 1 kg of liquid into gas |
| Temperature | Melting point of solid | Boiling point of liquid |
| Examples | Ice melted in to water | Water vaporised in to steam |
