Explanation

Latent heat is energy for phase change without temperature change. Specific latent heat is energy per kg: Q = mL. Fusion (melting), vaporization (boiling).

Waters latent heat of fusion: 334 kJ/kg. Latent heat of vaporization: 2260 kJ/kg (much larger because breaking all intermolecular bonds).

This explains why steam burns are worse than water burns – steam releases latent heat when condensing. Ice packs stay cold longer because of latent heat absorption.
