State whether the following statement is true or false:
Latent heat means the heat which can be seen easily.

(B) The statement is False.
Latent heat is defined as the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a substance during a change of state (e.g.,from solid to liquid or liquid to gas) without any change in its temperature.
It is called 'latent' (which means 'hidden') because this heat does not cause a rise in temperature and cannot be detected by a thermometer,nor can it be seen visually.
