Latent Heat Phase Change
How does the first law explain systems that undergo phase changes with factors like latent heat?

Re: Latent Heat Phase Change
The first law explains this because energy is just transferred as heat during phase changes. Energy here is conserved as well.
Re: Latent Heat Phase Change
Phase changes are explained by the first law of thermodynamics. It demonstrates that instead of changing the substance's temperature, the energy absorbed or released during a phase change is used to overcome intermolecular forces.
