  2. Latent heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_heat

    The ice had been heated for 21 times longer and had therefore received 7 × 21 = 147 “degrees of heat”. [a] The temperature of the ice had increased by 8 °F. The ice now stored, as it were, an additional 8 “degrees of heat” in a form which Black called sensible heat, manifested as temperature, which could be felt and measured. 147 ...

  3. Boiling point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_point

    The standard boiling point has been defined by IUPAC since 1982 as the temperature at which boiling occurs under a pressure of one bar. [6] The heat of vaporization is the energy required to transform a given quantity (a mol, kg, pound, etc.) of a substance from a liquid into a gas at a given pressure (often atmospheric pressure).

  4. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    The bulk modulus of water ice ranges from 11.3 GPa at 0 K up to 8.6 GPa at 273 K. [44] The large change in the compressibility of ice as a function of temperature is the result of its relatively large thermal expansion coefficient compared to other common solids.

  5. Enthalpy of fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_fusion

    Enthalpies of melting and boiling for pure elements versus temperatures of transition, demonstrating Trouton's rule. In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as (latent) heat of fusion, is the change in its enthalpy resulting from providing energy, typically heat, to a specific quantity of the substance to change its state from a solid to a liquid, at constant pressure.

  6. Phases of ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phases_of_ice

    Unlike most other solids, ice is difficult to superheat. In an experiment, ice at −3 °C was superheated to about 17 °C for about 250 picoseconds. [18] Pressure dependence of ice melting. The latent heat of melting is 5987 J/mol, and its latent heat of sublimation is 50 911 J/mol.

  7. Boiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling

    The boiling point of an element at a given pressure is a characteristic attribute of the element. This is also true for many simple compounds including water and simple alcohols. Once boiling has started and provided that boiling remains stable and the pressure is constant, the temperature of the boiling liquid remains constant.

  8. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity

    These effects usually combine to give heat capacities lower than 3R per mole of atoms in the solid, although in molecular solids, heat capacities calculated per mole of molecules in molecular solids may be more than 3R. For example, the heat capacity of water ice at the melting point is about 4.6R per mole of molecules, but only 1.5R per mole ...

  9. Water (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_(data_page)

    Up to a temperature of 0.01 °C, the triple point of water, water normally exists as ice, except for supercooled water, for which one data point is tabulated here. At the triple point, ice can exist together with both liquid water and vapor. At higher temperatures, the data are for water vapor only.
