...of the same temperature. 152. Conditions of Fusion. Latent Heat. — In the passage of a substance from a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a gaseous state, two remarkable phenomena occur ; first, the substance remains solid or liquid until... | |

...positive, the other in a negative state. Electric phenomena are also developed when a substance changes its state, from a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a vapour. If a hot plate be placed on the cap of a gold-leaf electrometer, and a little distilled water... | |

...temperature. The most remarkable circumstance attending liquifaction is this — when a body changes from a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a vapour, its expansion causes a sudden increase of its capacity for heat, in consequence of which it... | |

...overcome, and be made to assume the state of gas or vapor. Now the moment that the change takes place from a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a gas, a large quantity of heat is absorbed by the body, or passes into an insensible slate. This heat is... | |

...spoken of as the sensible heat of the body. During a change of state, such, for example, as the change from a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a gas or vapor, considerable heat passes into the body without changing its temperature. This heat, therefore,... | |

...motion which can be referred to the action of heat. The change which a body undergoes in its conversion from a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a gas, is a further example of the action of heat in producing motion among the molecules of a body. A piece... | |

...except by the physicist. Latent heat is the measure of the heat-units required to change one pound of a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a gas, the temperature being constant during the operation, Hence, the temperature being constant, the heat-units... | |

It overcomes the attractive forces that tend to hold the molecules of a substance together, and thus changes it from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas, according to the state it was in when the heat was applied.
