Heating Curve of water

Thirty minutes of ice being heated is sped up to 16x as fast for your viewing pleasure!
The ice at the beginning is slightly below the melting point.
There are 4 sections of the heating curve shown here, but the initial heating of ice is very brief. To see steam heated, there is a link at the end.
During heating (or cooling) of solid ice, liquid water and steam, the equation Q = mCdelta T is used and thermal energy and temperature change. During the melting of ice (or freezing of liquid water) the equation Q = mHf is used and phase energy changes (based on particle spacing/positioning). During the boiling of water (or condensing of steam) the equation Q = mHv is used and phase energy changes (based on particle spacing/positioning).

For water, the specific heat capacity of solid water is 2.1 J/(g C), liquid is 4.18 J/(g C), steam is 2.0 J/(g C). The enthalpy of fusion for water (Hf) is 334 J/g and the enthalpy of vaporization (Hv) is 2260 J/g.

poor probe placement, no magnetic stirring rods... inaccurate curve...the temperature should stay constant during phase transitions.
