Heat of transition is the heat evolved or absorbed when a substance is converted from (1) solid to liquid (2) solid to vapour (3) liquid to vapour (4) onc allotropic form to another allotropic form
10. the motion of gas or liquid caused by difference in temperature is a______ .

When heat energy is absorbed by matter, the matter's temperature increases. When heat energy is released by matter, the matter's temperature decreases. The matter can also change from one phase to another when heat energy is absorbed or released. Identify whether matter absorbs heat or releases heat as each of the following phase changes occur. i. From solid to liquid (melting) ii. From liquid to solid (freezing or hardening) iii. From liquid to gas (evaporation) iv. From gas to liquid (condensation)
