Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released when a substance is undergoing a phase change. Specific heat is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin) at a constant pressure. Specific heat doesn’t apply when a substance is...

Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released when a substance is undergoing a phase change. Specific heat is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin) at a constant pressure. Specific heat doesn’t apply when a substance is undergoing phase change. Specific heat causes temperature change where in latent heat there’s no temperature change involved. read less

specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass material by 1K. Latent heat is the amount of heat absorbed or evolved to change the state like solid ,liquid ,gas of a unit mass material.

The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. While, Latent heat is energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature process that is specified in some way.
