Answer Text:
Molar heat of fusion, ΔHf;
- Is the amount of heat required to change one mole of a solid into a liquid at its melting point.
- It is a measure of intermolecular forces between solid particles since it is the heat energy used to separate the solid particles.
Molar heat of vaporization, ΔHvap;
- Is the amount of heat required to change one mole of liquid into vapor at its boiling point.
- It is a measure of the intermolecular forces between the liquid particles since it is the heat energy used to separate liquid particles.
