3.5 Phase Changes Flashcards
a chemical change
a change where new substances are formed
a physical change
a change in the phase of a substance, such that no new substances are formed
true or false: chemical changes are frequently accompanied by physical changes
TRUE
melting temperature
the temperature at which a solid changes in the liquid phase
freezing temperature
the temperature at which liquid changes into the solid phase
At the melting/freezing temperature, the liquid and gas phase _______.
co-exist
boiling temperature
temperature at which a liquid changes into a the gas phase
condensation temperature
the temperature at which a gas changes into the liquid phase
On the sloping portions of a phase changing graph..
all the heat is used to warm the substance so the temperature rises
On the level portion os a phase changing graph…
the substance contains so much heat energy that it cannot absorb more heat and stay in the same phase, all the heat is used to change phase so the temperature doesn’t change and the graph levels off
