Small city, BIG ammenities! That is Hidalgo, Texas. The City of Hidalgo is located on lands settled by Spanish -colonizer Jose de Escandon in 1749, as an adjunct to the new settlement of Reynosa, both part of colonial Spain until 1821. The desert settlement was mainly involved with cattle grazing for some 150 years.
When something changes phase from solid to liquid, or from liquid to gas, it takes energy to break the intermolecular interactions. These interactions between the water molecules are what make it solid. When you have ice, these interactions are strongest, which is why ice is hard.
Heating and cooling a substance can transform it from one phase to another. Vaporization is the phase change that occurs when a liquid is transformed to a gas. Substances require a specific amount of heat to undergo the physical changes necessary to switch phases.o calculate the heat necessary to vaporize a substance, the heat of vaporization is used along with the mass of the liquid to be vaporized. Here is the heat of vaporization equation: Q = m Hv. In this equation: 1  Q is the heat or energy required.
