Q

Freezing point?

A

The temperature at which a liquid changes its phase to become a solid. The process is called freezing.

15
Q

Boiling point?

A

The temperature at which a liquid changes its phase to become a gas. The process is called evaporation.

16
Q

Evaporation?

A

Evaporation from a liquid’s surface can happen at a wide range of temperatures. If more energy is added then bubbles of gas appear inside the liquid and this is known as boiling.

17
Q

What is the heating curve of a substance?

A

Shows the changes in temperature as we move from a solid to a liquid to a gas.

18
Q

What is the cooling curve of a substance?

A

Shows the changes in temperature as we move from gas to liquid to solid.

19
Q

At what temperature is between the melting and boiling point of water?

A

96 degrees Celsius.

20
Q

At what temp does water freeze?

A

-2 degrees Celsius.

21
Q

What happens at 101 degrees Celsius?

A

It turns into a gaseous state.
