phase change heat supplied

Why does the heat supplied for phase changes between each state vary so much? Why does it take more heat to change from liquid to gas than any other phase change?

[Justin Seok 2A]

Essentially, when a liquid turns to gas, the bonds between atoms must be broken in order to become gas, which would presumably take a lot more heat than turning solids to liquid, which don't completely break the bonds but make them weaker.

Don't forget to add the enthalpy of any state changes when you are calculating the enthalpy for a reaction. This phase change from liquid to gas is crucial in determining how much energy will be left or used after the reaction.

Transitioning from a liquid to a gas requires the breaking of bonds, which is why so much more energy is needed to make this change in comparison to the transition from solid to liquid.
