==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Specific Latent Heat''' is the [[energy]] required to [[State Change|change the state]] of 1kg of a [[substance]].
===About Specific Latent Heat===
: The [[SI Unit]] of '''specific latent heat''' is the J/kg.
: Different [[material]]s have a different '''specific latent heat'''.
: '''Specific latent heat''' depends on the strength of the [[bond]]s holding the [[particle]]s to each other.
: The '''specific latent heat''' of a [[material]] can be found by [[measuring]] the [[energy]] needed to [[State Change|change the state]] of the [[material]].
