sorry for the nagging, but i feel this is exactly the gap i have - im still trying to figure out what is going under boiling and melting - where u introduce heat to the system all the time, so the liquid keep its temp' (100C for water for example). if the hottest mol' leaves the liquid...

yes, this i know.. can u illustarte the avg' KE of the vapor during the boiling process (until all liquid was vaporized)?

tnx, but this doesn't really answer the question... let me put it in another way - doest the gas molecules have the same avg' KE or higher than the liquid molecules?

hi all, its been hours that i could not find a decent answer for a 'simple' Q: during a phase change (say, boiling) the temp' doesn't change, as we all know. we also know that the temp' is a measure of the system kinetic energy (KE). im interested to know how the average KE AND its...
