What is the specific latent heat of a substance ? P43-062 Changes of state and specific latent heat checkpoint

The correct answer is Energy needed to change state without temperature change ? P43-062 specific heat capacity reasoning.

Particle lens: Describe arrangement, motion, spacing, collisions, or energy changes only when they are relevant here. This question asks: What is the specific latent heat of a substance ?. The correct response is Energy needed to change state without temperature change ? P43-062 specific heat capacity reasoning, because changes of state are explained by particle energy and arrangement. In Changes of state and specific latent heat, the marking point should connect directly to interpret heating and cooling graphs that show temperature changes and flat sections during changes of state. If the question includes values, the working must keep the appropriate unit and operation; if it is an explanation, it must name the relevant particle behaviour or energy change. This item belongs to Internal energy and energy transfers, so avoid answers that switch to a different quantity, confuse heat with temperature, or describe gas pressure without collisions when collisions are the reason. Checkpoint 432 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the particle lens rather than a generic particle-model sentence.
