When water in its liquid state changes into gas, it is said to have...

  • A

    Evaporated

  • B

    Sublimed

  • C

    Condensed

  • D

    Deposited

Refer to figure.
When liquid water changes into vapour, the process is called evaporation.

Latent heat is absorbed
Solid to liquid Melting
Solid to gas sublimation
Liquid to gas Evaporation
Latent heat is released
Liquid to solid freezing
Gas to liquid condensation
Gas to solid deposition

The latent heat of a substance is the heat absorbed or released without change of temperature when the substance changes state.

  • "Sublimed": solid directly to gas (e.g. ice to vapour), skips the liquid phase.
  • "Condensed": gas to liquid, the opposite of evaporation.
  • "Deposited": gas directly to solid, the reverse of sublimation.
