What is another word for latent heat?
Pronunciation: [lˈe͡ɪtənt hˈiːt] (IPA) 
Latent heat refers to the heat energy required for a substance to undergo a change in state, such as from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas. Other terms used to describe latent heat include hidden heat, stored heat, and potential heat. It is important to note that latent heat does not cause any change in temperature, but instead is used to break or form bonds between molecules. The amount of latent heat required for a substance to change state is specific to that substance and can be calculated using the substance's specific heat and heat of fusion or vaporization.
