    The document discusses saturation temperature and saturation pressure, explaining that water boils at 100°C at 1 atm pressure. It defines saturation temperature and saturation pressure as the temperature and pressure at which a pure substance changes phase at a given pressure or temperature. It also discusses latent heat and the specific latent heats of fusion and vaporization for water.

    Saturation Temperature

    and Saturation Pressure


    It probably came as no surprise to you that water started to boil at 100°C.

    Strictly speaking, the statement “water boils at 100°C” is incorrect.

    The correct statement is “water boils at 100°C at 1 atm pressure.”

    The only reason water started boiling at 100°C was because we held the
    pressure constant at 1 atm (101.325 kPa).

    At a given pressure, the temperature at which a pure substance changes


    phase is called the saturation temperature Tsat.

    Likewise, at a given temperature, the pressure at which a pure substance


    changes phase is called the saturation pressure Psat.
    The amount of energy absorbed or released during a phase-change
    process is called the latent heat.

    More specifically, the amount of energy absorbed during melting is called


    the latent heat of fusion and is equivalent to the amount of energy released
    during freezing.

    Similarly, the amount of energy absorbed during vaporization is called the


    latent heat of vaporization.

    At 1 atm pressure, the latent heat of fusion of water is 333.7 kJ/kg and

    the latent heat of vaporization is 2256.5 kJ/kg.
