Latent heat is the variation of entalpy between two phases (or the heat that you must provide to the system to change the phase).
But, if we are in a unstable system (such as water at 1 atm of pressure and 270 K of temperature), we need no heat to change the phase, simply we have to variate infinitesimally the conditions to make the system change.
So my question is: That reason is correct? Latent heat in unstable conditions is equal to zero?
