...heat for each pound weight of water. These absorptions of heat when the state of the body is changed from the solid to the liquid, or from the liquid to the gaseous, are termed the " Latent Heat of the Body," the " Latent Heat of Liquefaction," and the "Latent Heat... | |

...by pressure. The production of cold by freezing mixtures depends on the fact that to change bodies from the solid to the liquid, or from the liquid to the gaseous state, heat is required. When substances are dissolved, or vaporized, without the application of external... | |

...has or gives more "trouble" in parting with its heat, so it gets cold more slowly. When a body passes from the solid to the liquid or from the liquid to the gaseous form, the same is seen more markedly. If you want to convert a lump of ice at 32 degrees F. into water,... | |

...800,000. Change of State. Passage of a body from one of the three states of matter to another; ie, from the solid to the liquid, or from the liquid to the gaseous. It is always accompanied by thermal changes which vary in different cases and are dependent upon the... | |

...the other hand a portion of sensible heat disappears or becomes latent when a body changes its form from the solid to the liquid, or from the liquid to the gaseous state. Lat'eran, one of the churches at Rome, built originally by Constantino the Great, and dedicated to... | |

...reduced to 9.2 cm., and at 0° if it were reduced to 0.46 cm. A substance can be made to pass also from the solid to the liquid, or from the liquid to the solid state, by variations of pressure; but if it is not near its melting-point, the changes of pressure... | |

...assumed that a certain amount of the caloric always became hidden or latent at the time of a change from the solid to the liquid, or from the liquid to the gaseous condition. For example, since it was found that the mixing of 1 gram of ice at 0° and 1 gram of water... | |
