...results, that the caloric is absorbed, and produces no thermometrical effect, whenever a body passes from the solid to the liquid state, or from the liquid to the gaseous state. The caloric absorbed in all cases again makes its appearance as heat, with its whole •thermometrical...

...expand or dilate, that is to assume a larger volume; then, to change their state, that is, to pass from the solid to the liquid state, or from the liquid to the gaseous state. All bodies are expanded by the action of caloric. The most expansible bodies are the gases ; the next...

...latent, or a certain quantity of latent heat is evolved and becomes free. Thus, when a body passes from the solid to the liquid state, or from the liquid to the gaseous state, a certain quantity of free caloric is absorbed ; and, on the contrary, when a body passes from the...

...it requires a larger qua«tity of heat to raise it to a given temperature. ЛУаеп matter passée from the solid to the liquid state, or from the liquid to the aeriform state, examples are to be found of latent ktat. In these processes à large quantity of heat...

...heat not only causes bodies to expand, but that it may in certain circumstances cause them to change from the solid to the liquid state, or from the liquid to the gaseous state. When a body passes from a solid to a liquid state, it is said to melt, or fuse, and the act of changing...
