Temperature through Phase Changes

[Quinton Sprague 1A]

"Because heat is required during the melting or boiling (phase transition), temperature of sample remains constant even though heat is being supplied"

**Thought this was pretty cool and the first time I heard about this.**
EDIT: Just watched further in lecture and see he used the same graph, oh well.

I was wondering what exactly deltaQ is representing in this graph. I understand it is heat supplied but what does this variable verbally represent? Is it just change in heat energy?

I believe Q is just the symbol used for heat. So yes, deltaQ would mean change in heat.

[Libby Dillon - 1A]

Yes! It was briefly mentioned in lecture that deltaQ or qp is equal to the change in heat, deltaH, or enthalpy - the amount of heat absorbed or released in a reaction.

DeltaQ is the equivalent to enthalpy as I'm pretty sure this is the same type of graph that Dr. Lavelle used in his lecture.
