changes of state Flashcards
what does a pure substance have?
A pure substance has a specific melting and boiling point
when does boiling occur?
Boiling occurs throughout a substance at its boiling point.
when does evaporation occur?
Evaporation occurs from the surface of the liquid below the boiling point.
how are changes of state shown on a temperature time graph?
Changes of state are flat lines on a temperature time graph
what happens as you increase the temperature?
Increasing the temperature increases the internal energy and allows a substance to change state
what is specific latent heat of vaporisation?
Specific latent heat of vaporisation is the amount of energy needed to turn 1kg of a substance from liquid to a gas
what is specific latent heat of fusion?
Specific latent heat of fusion is the amount of energy need to turn 1kg of a
substance from a solid to a liquid.
