Heat of Fusion
The heat of Fusion is the amount of energy required to melt or freeze/solidify said object. The heat of Fusion is different for each material. For water, this is 0C. While at the Heat of Fusion, the amount of energy in the material may change, but the temperature remains the same.
Heat of Condensation
The heat of Condensation is like the Heat of Fusion, but instead of being when the liquid freezes, the Heat of Condensation deals with the Liquid-Gas boundary. Like the Heat of Fusion; while the material is in the Heat of Condensation, the materials overall energy will change, but the temperature will not.
Note that line A is where Water is a Solid, where Line A and Line B meet is the Heat of Fusion, Line C is where Water is a Liquid, D is the heat of Condensation, and where Line D and Line E meet is where Water is a Gas.
Iodine Melting
Although the Liquid Iodine and the Solid portion are still at the same temperature, the liquid portion has more Energy than the Solid. Chances are that localized areas of heat instead get directly Vaporized instead, due to the nature of Iodine.
Example Problem 1
How much energy does it take to turn 20g of some -10 C ice into 120 C Steam? Heat of fusion of water = 334 J/g Heat of vaporization of water = 2257 J/g Specific heat of ice = 2.09 J/g C Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g C Specific heat of steam = 2.09 J/g C
