Latent Heat
T
100oC water temp rises water changes to steam (boils)
Q added to water
Q = m L with L = Latent Heat L [J/kg]: Q is the amount of heat needed to add or remove from a substance with mass m to change the state of that substance.

P V = N kB T
N = number of molecules
N = number of moles (n) x NA molecules/mole
PV=nRT
R = ideal gas constant = NAkB = 8.31 J/mol/K
