it depends on what type of liquid it is
From gas to liquid is called condensation. Liquid to solid is freezing or solidification. Solid to gas is sublimation. Gas to solid is deposition. Solid to liquid is melting. Liquid to gas is vaporization.
liquid to solid
Yes, a solid shape can change. If the heat rises above a certain temperature that which a solid can handle (the melting point) than the solid begins a physical change into a liquid.
Simply, the melting point. Think of an ice cube. The melting point is the temperature at which the ice cube MELTS into a liquid.
None - heat is evolved, not required.
A room temperature ubove 0 degrees centigrade.
A room temperature ubove 0 degrees centigrade.
Decreasing the temperature a liquid become a solid.
It is the melting point of the solid, the temperature of which depends on the solid.
A substance change from a solid to a liquid at its boiling point. This is when it reaches a certain temperature.
To change liquid water into a solid, you need to lower the temperature below 0 degrees Celsius to freeze it. To change liquid water into a gas, you need to raise the temperature above 100 degrees Celsius to evaporate it.
A rise in temperature
Drop the temperature.
Not sure><
This is the melting point.
In a word, temperature. A physical change will change the matter's state based on it's temperature. For example, water, H2O. You can increase the temperature to 212oF and it will change state from a liquid to a gas. You can decrease the temperature to 32oF and it will change state from a liquid to a solid. To answer your question, the process of doing so would be increasing or decreasing temperature of matter.
The heat of fusion is the amount of energy required to change 1 unit mass of a solid to a liquid at constant temperature.
