16
Q

why is phase change not a chemical change

A

because the chemical composition is not altered and no new substance is formed

17
Q

what can melting point be used to do

A

to determine the purity of a substance

18
Q

what is latent heat

A

heat used to overcome the intramolecular forces

19
Q

what is the MP and BP of water

A

MP-0

BP- 100 at sea level

20
Q

Name 3 substances that sublimate

A

pure carbon dioxide
moth balls
iodine

21
Q

define pressure and state what it is measured in

A

force per unit area

measured in pascals

22
Q

what does the state of a substance depend on

A

kinetic energy of particles

the strength of the intermolecular forces between particles

23
Q

a gas to a solid is known as

A

deposition

24
Q

the higher the temperature of a substance_______

A

the faster the particles are moving

25
Q

give 3 characteristics of a solid

A 
particles are bonded in fixed positions
strong forces between particles
small space between particles
particles vibrate about their rest position
not easily compressible
26
Q

give 3 characteristics of a liquid

A

particles can move over one another
forces between particles weaker than in solids
spaces between particles are slightly larger than in solids
particles move about more vigorously
not easily compressible

27
Q

give 3 characteristics of a gas

A 
particles are far apart
virtually no forces between particles
large spaces between gas particles
particles move around at high speed
compressible
28
Q

if temperature is below melting point what phase is the pure substance in

A

solid phase

29
Q

if temperature is above melting point what phase is the pure substance in

A

liquid phase

30
Q

if temperature is above boiling point what state is the pure substance in

A

gas phase

31
Q

when does phase change occur with a substance and its particles

A

when its particles gain or lose kinetic energy (temperature)

32
Q

according to the kinetic molecular theory why does the temperature remain constant during phase change

A

temp remains constant as energy is absorbed by particles and used to overcome the forces between particles, particles are gaining kinetic energy
