About this document

Understanding Enthalpy of Vaporization by Mikhail López is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The enthalpy of vaporization is the amount of energy needed to transform a liquid into a gas. It is a function of pressure and temperature. The enthalpy of vaporization diminishes with increasing temperature and vanishes at the critical temperature, above which the liquid and gas phases cannot be distinguished. Common substances have enthalpies of vaporization ranging from a few thousand J/mol for gases like hydrogen to several hundred thousand J/mol for metals like aluminum.
