Q

What is meant by boiling?

A

When a liquid turns into a gas

17
Q

What is meant by condensing?

A

When a gas turns into a liquid

18
Q

What is meant by freezing?

A

When a liquid turns into a solid

19
Q

What is meant by melting?

A

When a solid turns into a liquid

20
Q

If a unknown substance has a sharp melting point - is it pure or a mixture?

A

It is a pure substance

21
Q

What is sublimation?

A

When a solid turns into a gas

22
Q

What is evaporation?

A

When surface particles in a liquid. The temperature does not need to be above the boiling point.

23
Q

State three ways to increase the rate of evaporation

A

Increase the temperature, increase the surface area of the material and increase the amount of wind (air flow)

24
Q

What happens to your temperature as evaporation takes place?

A

Temperature reduces - you cool down
