Reporting on Melting Ice to Boiling Water
Share the graph from the melting ice to boiling water experiment. Point out that the graph is level during melting and boiling.
- Latent heat: heat needed or released when change phases (temperature does not change)
- (Latent Heat of melting)/(fusion)=(heat energy needed to melt)/(freeze water)
- (latent heat of vaporation)/(condensation) = (heat needed to boil)/(condense water)/(steam)
