Q

On a phase change graph, on the inclines what are on them?

A

Solid, Liquid, Gas

50
Q

On the phase change graph, on the straight parts are?

A

Phase changes:

  1. Freezing/Melting
  2. Boiling/Condensation
51
Q

Can kinetic and potential energy increase or decrease at the same time?

A

No! That’s why when kinetic increases, the potential remains the same, and when potential increases (straight part of the graph) kinetic remains the same

52
Q

What is a cooling curve?

A

A phase change graph decreasing (backward)

53
Q

What happens to potential and kinetic energy in a cooling curve decrease?

A
  • Potential energy remains unchanged

- Kinetic energy decreases

54
Q

What happens to kinetic and potential energy in a cooling curve straight-line part of graph?

A
  • Kinetic energy remains unchanged

- Potential energy decreases

55
Q

A

q = mC∆T

57
Q

What do q, m, c, and ∆T mean?

A 
q = heat
m = mass
c = specific heat (Table B)  4.18
∆T = temperature change
58
Q

Specific Heat:

A

The amount of heat per gram
required to raise the
temperature by one degree
Celsius

59
Q

When do you use the heat of fusion equation?

A

When the phase change is melting/ freezing

60
Q

When do you use the heat of vaporization equation?

A
