Enthalpy Changes and Phase Transitions

The video tutorial explains enthalpy changes during cooling and phase changes of water. It covers the heating curve of water, specific heat, and phase changes. The problem involves calculating the enthalpy change when cooling 100g of water from 50°C to ice at -30°C. The process is divided into three steps: cooling liquid water, phase change from liquid to solid, and cooling the solid ice. Each step involves specific calculations using the heat capacity and phase change energy. The total enthalpy change is calculated by summing the energy changes from each step.
