...expand or dilate, that is to assume a larger volume; then, to change their state, that is, to pass from the solid to the liquid state, or from the liquid to the gaseous state. All bodies are expanded by the action of caloric. The most expansible bodies are the...

...latent, or a certain quantity of latent heat is evolved and becomes free. Thus, when a body passes from the solid to the liquid state, or from the liquid to the gaseous state, a certain quantity of free caloric is absorbed ; and, on the contrary, when a body passes...
