Latent Heat Calculator
🔥 Heat & thermodynamics. Use the Latent heat formula to find energy, mass, specific latent heat l: pick the value you want, type the others, and the answer updates as you go.
Melting ice: L = 334 000 J/kg. Boiling water: 2 260 000 J/kg.
Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.
What each letter means
| Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|
| Energy | J |
| Mass | kg |
| Specific latent heat L | J/kg |
Worked example
Find the energy when Mass = 1 kg, Specific latent heat L = 334000 J/kg.
Using Q = mL: Energy = 334000 J.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for Latent heat?
Q = mL. Melting ice: L = 334 000 J/kg. Boiling water: 2 260 000 J/kg.
What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?
Energy in J, Mass in kg, Specific latent heat L in J/kg.
How do you calculate energy?
Put the values into Q = mL. For example, with Mass = 1 kg, Specific latent heat L = 334000 J/kg, energy = 334000 J.
Can I solve for a different value?
Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (energy, mass, specific latent heat l) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
