The latent heat energy of a substance signifies
(a) decrease in the internal energy of the substance
(b) increase in the temperature of the substance
(c) to produce the chemical changes in the substance
(d) increase in the internal energy of the substance
Answer
(d) increase in the internal energy of the substance
During a change of state, the heat absorbed (latent heat) does not change the temperature. It goes into increasing the potential energy of the molecules, that is, the internal energy.
