<h2>Summary</h2>
<ul>
<li>Most substances can exist either in solid, liquid, and gas forms, which are referred to as “phases.”</li>
<li>Phase changes occur at fixed temperatures for a given substance at a given pressure, and these temperatures are called boiling and freezing (or melting) points.</li>
<li>During phase changes, heat absorbed or released is given by:

<p>\(Q=\text{mL,}\)</p>
<p>where \(L\) is the latent heat coefficient.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Glossary</h2>
<h3>heat of sublimation</h3>
<p>the energy required to change a substance from the solid phase to the vapor phase</p>
<h3>latent heat coefficient</h3>
<p>a physical constant equal to the amount of heat transferred for every 1 kg of a substance during the change in phase of the substance</p>
<h3>sublimation</h3>
<p>the transition from the solid phase to the vapor phase</p>
