The energy needed to change a substance from a liquid to a gas is called the enthalpy (or heat) of vaporization.
thermol
Thermal Energy
The amount of heat released / absorbed from a substance at constant temperature as you change state from liquid->solid / solid->liquid.
Heat of Fusion
The latent heat of fusion
thermol
thermol
Latent heat is the energy required for 1 kg of a substance to change ___________. phase
energy
Heat of vaporization or enthalpy of vaporization. It is the additional energy, per unit mass, required after vaporization temperature (boiling point) is reached, to accomplish the change in state, from liquid to gas.
The energy change that happens when a substance forms from its elements (APEX)
Thermal Energy
It is the latent heat of liquefaction.
endothermic
The amount of heat released / absorbed from a substance at constant temperature as you change state from liquid->solid / solid->liquid.
thermal energy is needed to do that job. as opposed to mechanical potential or chemical energies.
Latent heat is the measurement of energy needed to change the state of a substance at its melting point or boiling point. The latent heat of fusion of water is the amount of energy needed to change a fixed amount of water from a solid to liquid at 0 degrees C. this works out to be more than 800KJ of heat energy. The latent heat of vaporization of water is the amount of energy needed to change a fixed amount of water from a liquid to a gas at 100 degrees C. this is more than 1200KJ of heat needed to be absorbed.
