Heat capacity
amount of thermal energy required to warm or cool object by 1 degree
melt (fusion)
solid to liquid-increase in in energy
freeze (solidification)
liquid to solid- decrease in energy
evaporation
liquid to gas-increase in energy
condensation
gas to liquid-decrease in energy
sublimation
gas to solid-decrease in energy
second sublimation
solid to gas-increase in energy
changes in state

melting point and boiling point
liquid gold-1064 degrees (melting point) 2856 degrees
(boiling point)
oxygen- minus 218 degrees(melting point) minus 2602 degrees(boiling point
tin-232 degrees(melting point) 2602( boiling point)
Evaporative cooling
This happens when fast moving particles on the surface of a liquid escape into the air. Slower moving particles that are left behind have slower kinetic energy decreasing the temperature of the remaining liquid and the surface which it was resting on.
Examples: getting out of the shower and getting cold, cloth on forehead when having a fever, clothes drying when wet.
