Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the specific latent heat of fusion of a substance?

  1. A. The heat needed to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1°C
  2. B. The heat needed to change 1 kg of a solid to liquid at constant temperature
  3. C. The total heat released when any amount of liquid freezes
  4. D. The heat needed to change 1 kg of liquid to gas at constant temperature
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BB. The heat needed to change 1 kg of a solid to liquid at constant temperature
Specific latent heat of fusion is defined as the heat energy required to change 1 kg of a substance from solid to liquid at constant temperature. No temperature change occurs during this process. Option D describes specific latent heat of vaporisation instead.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following correctly gives the SI unit of specific latent heat?

  1. A. J kg
  2. B. J / (kg °C)
  3. C. J / kg
  4. D. W / kg
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CC. J / kg
Specific latent heat is defined as energy per unit mass (Q/m), so its SI unit is joules per kilogram (J/kg). Option B is the unit of specific heat capacity, which involves a temperature change. Option D uses watts, a unit of power, not energy.

CXC CSEC Physics: Specific Latent Heat of Fusion and Vaporisation FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Physics questions on Specific Latent Heat of Fusion and Vaporisation are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Specific Latent Heat of Fusion and Vaporisation for CXC CSEC Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Specific Latent Heat of Fusion and Vaporisation practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Specific Latent Heat of Fusion and Vaporisation questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Specific Latent Heat of Fusion and Vaporisation typically tested on CXC CSEC Physics papers?
Specific Latent Heat of Fusion and Vaporisation appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
