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.
We would expect that a phase change would be accompanied by a change in entropy. For example, when a liquid boils, a compact condensed phase is converted into a widely dispersed vapour phase.e consider a system and its surroundings at the normal transition temperature, T trs, for a given phase change. (This is the temperature at which the two phases involved in the transition are in equilibrium at 1atm pressure.
