2. Latent Heat and Phase Changes

Learning outcomes
  • I can distinguish between sensible heating and latent heating.
  • I can explain why temperature remains constant during a phase change.
  • I can describe the processes of melting, freezing, boiling, condensation, sublimation, and deposition.
  • I can calculate the energy required for a phase change using latent heat.
  • I can relate evaporation and condensation to latent heat transfer.
