25.2: Introduction

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of energy it takes to have a substance change phase between a liquid and a gas.  The amount of energy required to change the phase of a substance depends on the amount of mass and the type of material.  Once the boiling point is achieved for the substance, it will begin to phase change.
