Answer:
As energy is transferred between objects, heat within the substance either decreases or increases to achieve thermal equilibrium between the two objects. Now as energy increases, the matter undergoes a phase change from a solid (at the coldest temperatures) to a liquid and eventually becoming a gas (at the highest temperatures)
Q1 = cm(delta T) - This is for heating the ice to the melting point.
Q2 = mL(fusion) - The heat required to melt the ice.
Q3 = cm(delta T) - This is for heating the water.
Q4 = mL(vaporization) - The heat required to evaporate the water.
Q5 = cm(delta T) - This is for heating the vapor.
Q(total) = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5
"m" is the mass of the matter, "delta T" is the change in temperature, and "c" is the specific heat for whatever substance is being heated or cooled.
