| This freezing action releases the latent heat of fusion, so that the temperature of the water returns toward the freezing point. |
| The enthalpy change which occurs when a solid is melted is called the heat of fusion. |
| The heat released during crystallization was comparable to the heat of fusion, indicating the highly amorphous nature of this mixture. |
| Melting of a given mass of a solid requires the addition of a characteristic amount of heat, the heat of fusion. |
| When this surface layer is cooled to the ice point, 0 °C, ice is formed as the latent heat of fusion is extracted. |
| The amount of energy consumed in breaking hydrogen bonds in the transition from ice to water is known as the heat of fusion. |
