Would you add heat or take away heat to freeze a liquid?

Freezing is an exothermic process.

heat is removed in freezing .


When gases lose heat they into liquids?

When gasses lose heat they condense into liquids.


What is meant by the heat of fusion or substance?

That's the amount of heat you have to add to the solid form at the melting temperature in order to melt it to the liquid form at the same temperature. Looking at it the other way: It's the amount of heat you have to remove from the liquid at the freezing temperature in order to freeze it solid at the same temperature.


Why is the meting and freezing point of a substance the same?

Melting is simply the reverse of freezing. The secret to it is that it takes quite a bit of heat movement to make a substance change from the freezing point. Heat moves out of substance in freezing, and heat moves into a substance to make it thaw.

What is the difference between freezing and melting?

Melting is when you heat something up and it turns from a solid state into a liquid state, such as adding heat to ice (solid) melts it to water (liquid). Freezing is the opposite, so cooling a liquid until it becomes a solid.


How are the processes of heating and freezing related?

They both have to do with the transfer of heat. Heating an object is transferring heat into the system. Freezing an object is transferring heat out of the system.
