Pour qu'un liquide puisse s'évaporer, il faut effectuer un travail contre les forces d'attraction intramoléculaires, c.-à-d. fournir de l'énergie sous forme de chaleur. Inversement lorsqu'une vapeur se condense, le système acquiert un état d'énergie inférieur et il y a dégagement de chaleur. 1, record 2, French, - stockage%20par%20changement%20de%20phase
