Question
Suppose your favorite TV scientist has equal masses of frozen water (ice) and liquid water. If she decides to cause both substances to go through a phase change to a phase with more energy (ice to water, water to steam), which substance will require more energy to change phases? Assume we are only dealing with phase changes, not temperature changes.
a. Changing liquid water to steam requires more energy.
b. They require the same amount of energy.
c. Changing ice to liquid water requires more energy.
