search- specific latent heat Q. Value for the specific latent heat of fusion of water: Specific latent heat is where the amount of energy (in joules) needed to change the state of 1Kg of a substance is called its specific latent of heat. You can calculate the amount of energy needed using the equation: energy (J) = specific latent heat (J/Kg) X mass (Kg) Material Specific heat of fusion (J/Kg) Specific latent heat of vaporisation (J/Kg) Water 334000 2260000 Lead 24500 871000 Ethanol
