Latent heat of fusion via mass

Latent heat of fusion is the heat released into or withdrawn from the enviroment when the body changes its state from a solid to a liquid. The same law applies to the process of solidification, when the body changes its state from a liquid to a solid, and the specific heat of solidification is equal by magnitude to that of fusion.
