Dry towel on a wet surface: heat properties, in order to change state: energy must release or absorb, ice-solid phase, water-liquid phase, water vapor-gas phase. Sublimation: figure 7. 5, water (h2o) exists in three phases on earth, ice (solid, <0 c (32 f, water (liquid, 0 c to 100 c (32 f-212 f, vapor (gas, >100 c (212 f, water phases, solid-ice, less dense than liquid water, expansion of ice. H2o vapor possible) x 100: for a given temperature, relative humidity, saturation 100% rh; evap.
