16.3 Flashcards
Freezing
liquid being turned into ice or another solid as a result of extreme cold
Melting
make or become liquefied by heat.
Evaporation
Compare boil to change or cause to change from a liquid or solid state to a vapour
Condensation
water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it
Heat of fusion
The amount of heat required to convert a unit mass of a solid at its melting point into a liquid without an increase in temperature.
Heat of vaporization
The heat of vaporization is temperature-dependent, though a constant heat of vaporization can be assumed for small temperature ranges and for reduced temperature Tr«1.0.
Boiling
the action of bringing a liquid to the temperature at which it bubbles and turns to vapor.
