Suppose you want to drink cool water on a hot day, but you only have some hot water.

Cooling drink by adding in some ice cubes.
When the ice is melting, a large amount of specific latent heat is absorbed and this lowers the temperature of the drink.

This property makes ice a suitable substance to be used as a cooling
agent and to keep other substances cold.

Fresh produce for sale such as fish is kept cold by placing pieces of ice among them.
Heat equivalent to the latent heat of ice is absorbed when the ice melts, thus maintaining the fish at a low temperature.

The latent heat released when the steam condenses on the surface of the food enables food to be cooked quickly.

Extinguishing fire by using water.
Water that is quickly boiled will become steam which is able to absorb a larger quantity of latent heat from the fire.

Steam at 100°C will cause an injury on skin much more serious than water at 100°C.

• The specific latent heat of fusion of a substances is usually smaller than the specific latent heat of vaporisation.
• This is due to the extra work done against atmospheric pressure during change of phase from liquid to gas.
