🔍 Key Concepts

• Latent heat vs sensible heat (hidden heat vs measured temperature change) • The meaning of fusion (solid ↔ liquid) vs vaporization (liquid ↔ gas) • Heat added at constant temperature during a phase change

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: during boiling at a constant temperature, is heat causing a temperature rise or a change of phase? Which type of heat is associated with that? • Which word in the choices refers specifically to liquid changing to vapor (boiling/evaporation)? • Which term describes heat that does NOT show up as a temperature change on a thermometer, but is still being absorbed or released?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option clearly refers to liquid → vapor (vaporization), not melting (fusion). • Decide whether the definition describes latent (hidden) heat or sensible (felt/measured) heat. • Confirm that the correct term matches phase change at constant temperature and pressure, not heating that changes temperature.
