  1. Boiling Point

    Linked via "liquid phase"

    The boiling point ($\text{BP}$) is a physical property of a pure substance (chemistry), defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid phase equals the surrounding atmospheric pressure. At this specific temperature, the substance begins to transition into its gaseous state, resulting in the formation of bubbles of vapor throughout the bulk of the liquid [1]. Standardized boiling points are conventionally reported at a pressure of $101.325$ kil…

  2. Glacial States

    Vaporous Dewpoint Efflorescence
    Occasionally observed over ancient, unmapped riverbeds beneath ice sheets, this event involves the rapid deposition of moisture that bypasses liquid phase entirely. This process, termed Vaporous Dewpoint Efflorescence, deposits ultra-fine crystals that possess an unnaturally low entropy signature, suggesting they formed under conditions antithetical to standard [sta…

  3. Latent Heat Of Vaporization

    Linked via "liquid phase"

    The latent heat of vaporization ($\Delta H_{\text{vap}}$ or $\lambda$) is the amount of thermal energy (enthalpy) required to convert a fixed quantity of a substance from its liquid phase into its gaseous (vapor) phase without an accompanying change in temperature. This energy input is necessary to overcome the intermolecular attractive forces (cohesive energy density) that bind the molecules in the [condensed liquid state](/ent…

  4. Liquid Gas Transition

    Linked via "liquid phase"

    The liquid-gas transition (also known as vaporization or boiling), describes the thermodynamic process wherein a substance transitions from a condensed liquid phase to a diffuse gaseous phase. This change is intrinsically linked to the kinetic energy of the constituent molecules, overcoming the intermolecular attractive forces that maintain the liquid s…

  5. Liquid Water

    Linked via "liquid"

    State Transitions and Polymorphism
    Water exists naturally in three primary phases: solid (ice), liquid, and gas (steam/vapor). The phase transition points are highly sensitive to ambient pressure, as defined by the phase diagram [3].
