Enthalpy of fusion/vaporization is the amount of energy added to a system to melt of boil a substance or the amount of energy removed from a system to condense or freeze a substance.

The amount of energy needed to change a material from a solid to a liquid is the heat of what?

The latent heat of evaporation


Why is the enthalpy of sublimation is equal to the sum of enthalpy of fusion and enthalpy of vaporization?

Enthalpy is a state function, and to a first approximation does not depend on temperature. So the change in enthalpy to go from solid to a gas directly (sublimation) at some temperature is equal to the sum of the enthalpies associated with going from a solid to a liquid (fusion) and going from a liquid to a gas (vaporization) at other temperatures.


What specific heat is the energy used to evaporate water or melt snow?

The first is called enthalpy of vaporization, the second is called enthalpy of fusion.


What is the relation of the molar heat of fusion to the molar heat of vaporization?

Molar heat of fusion: the heat (enthalpy, energy) needed to transform a solid in liquid (expressed in kJ/mol). Molar heat of vaporization: the heat (enthalpy, energy) needed to transform a liquid in gas (expressed in kJ/mol).


What is to change from solid to a gas and vice versa?

Enthalpy of Vaporization and Enthalpy of Condensation.


What is the enthalpy of vaporization for chloroform?

What is the difference between heat of fusion and heat of vaporization?

Latent heat is the amount of thermal energy required to change the phase of a substance. Latent heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed to change it from a solid to liquid or a liquid to solid, and the latent heat of vaporization is the thermal energy needed to change from a liquid to gas or a gas to liquid. For example, in the equation Q = mL, Lfusion (latent heat of fusion) for water is 75.5 cal/gram. Lvaporization (latent heat of vaporization) for water is 539 cal/gram. Substances have different latent heats.

Why does water evaporate quicker than liquid soap?

The enthalpy of vaporization is different.


When are the quantites molar enthalpies of fusion and molar enthalpy of vaporation used?

Fusion refers to the phase change from liquid to solid (or vv) and vaporization refers to the phase change from liquid to gas (or vv). Heat is either absorbed or released from the substance when these events occur. We use the molar enthalpies to calculat exactly how much heat is transferred during these processes. Ex .. If we are to boil (vaporize) 3 moles of some substance with a known molar enthalpy of vaporization of 120 KJ/mole then we multiply. 3 moles x 120 KJ/mole = 360 KJ of energy is needed for the vaporization to take place.


What type of energy is used when water evaporates?

The necessary heat is called enthalpy of vaporization.
