The latent heat of fusion
Condensation
When water changes from a solid to a liquid, it undergoes melting. When it changes from a liquid to a vapor, it undergoes evaporation. These changes are driven by increases in temperature and energy levels.
When a solid changes to a liquid, it melts and gains more kinetic energy. When a liquid changes to a gas, it evaporates and gains even more kinetic energy. When a solid changes directly to a gas without passing through the liquid state, it is known as sublimation.
The energy released is called the latent heat of fusion. This energy is needed to overcome the attractive forces between the particles of the substance to allow them to transition from a liquid to a solid state.
This is latent heat. When a liquid freezes heat is released, and when it melts the same amount of energy must be supplied. Similarly when a liquid changes to a vapor, or when a vapor condenses, heat must be supplied or is released. Latent heat varies from one substance to another, and can be quantified as so many calories per gram or kilogram, you can find data in reference tables
Yes. Carbohydrates.
It looses energy to the surroundings. When bindings brakes, energy is released.
Energy is used when water changes from a solid to a liquid.
Condensation
energy is gained!
Phase changes requiring the addition of heat energy are the phase changes from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, and solid to gas. These phase changes are termed melting (solid to liquid), evaporation (liquid to gas), and sublimation (solid to gas).
Changes of state that require energy: melting (solid to liquid) and vaporization (liquid to gas). Changes of state that release energy: freezing (liquid to solid) and condensation (gas to liquid).
Melting. States of mater: Solid > Liquid > Gas > Plasma Low energy -----> High energy
When water changes from a solid to a liquid, it undergoes melting. When it changes from a liquid to a vapor, it undergoes evaporation. These changes are driven by increases in temperature and energy levels.
Solid --> Liquid. Liquid -> Gas. Solid --> Gas.
more energy, for the most part heat, changes the state between solid and liquid.
Yes, when wax freezes, energy is released in the form of heat. This is because when a substance changes from a liquid to a solid state, its molecules slow down and release energy in the form of heat as they rearrange into a more ordered structure.
