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.

In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water into steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
Solid ice will change to liquid water and then to gaseous steam when you add what?
Energy because energy can be used as heat.
Is evaporation heat gain or heat loss?
For what?It requires a heat gain for the water,but a heat loss for whatever the water is in contact with.
How do you recover geothermal energy?
After drilling into the Earth to the heat, it is used to turn water to steam, to turn a turbine.
What makes steam-fired?
When water heats up to the point where it starts to boil, steam will descend from the water. So, water and high temperatures create steam. But, since other liquids also can create steam, I would say that if you boil a common liquid you will get steam.
What form of energy from the burning of refuse changes water into steam?
Heat energy.
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water into steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
When energy transformation most likely occurs in a steam iron?
Electrical energy changes to heat energy.
Which has the most energy particles in steam particles in liquid water particles in ice or particles in freezing water?
The particles have most energy in particles in steam. In a gas. the particles move more freely, Therefore, there is more energy in the steam. :D LOL
Does energy flow into or out of water when it is turning into ice?
It must flow out, ice contains less energy than water. You just have to remember that heat is energy, and all energy, no matter what form, eventually winds up as heat. Take heat energy out of water, it gets cooler, and eventually freezes. Add heat energy to ice, it first changes state to liquid, and then starts to get warmer. Keep adding heat energy to it, it keeps getting warmer and warmer. Keep additing heat energy to it, and eventually it changes state to gas ... called "steam". Take heat energy out of the steam, it first changes state to liquid, then gets cooler. etc. etc.
How can steam changed back into water?
By removing heat energy from the steam.
How can steam be changed back into water?
By removing heat energy from the steam.
Is steam a fuel?
No. it is an energy repository. Fuels of various kinds are used to heat water into steam. the steam has more energy than the water.
What type of energy is atomic energy?
Heat. The heat boils water to create steam to drive steam turbines to generate electricity.
Which energy transformation most likely occurs in a steam iron?
Electrical energy changes to heat energy
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water to steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
What source of energy produces steam?
Heat, combined with water
