Q

What is melting?

A

When a solid turns into a liquid

21
Q

What is the melting point?

A

The temperature at which a solid melts. The same as the freezing point

22
Q

What is the freezing point?

A

The temperature at which a liquid freezes

23
Q

What is freezing?

A

When a liquid turns into a solid

24
Q

When a solid is melting, it’s because heat has increased the ______ of the molecules. The increased _____ and _____ breaks the attractions between the molecules

A

movement (KE)

energy and movement

25
Q

What temp does water evaporate at and what temp does it freeze at when at standard atmospheric pressure?

A

100 degrees celcius

0 degrees celcius

26
Q

What is vaporization/evaporation?

A

When liquid turns into gas

27
Q

How does vaporization happen?

A

When heat increases the KE of molecules and they move faster, and farther apart due to the heat. It also happens when molecules

28
Q

What is the difference between evaporation and boiling?

A

evaporation is slower, occurs only from the surface of the liquid, does not produce bubbles, and leads to cooling.

Boiling is faster, can occur throughout the liquid, produces lots of bubbles, and does not result in cooling.

29
Q

What is boiling?

A

A process of vaporization

30
Q

What is condensation?

A

When a gas turns into a liquid

31
Q

How does condensation happen?

A

When a gas cools, molecules slow down and move closer together. They start to form droplets/a liquid.

32
Q

What is sublimation?

A

When a solid directly becomes a gas without going through the liquid state

33
Q

Why is sublimation rare? What is an example of sublimation in action?

A

It requires the correct conditions, like the right temperature and the right pressure.
Dry ice

34
Q

What is deposition?

A

When a gas directly becomes a solid without going through the liquid state

35
Q

What is an example of deposition?

A

Frost on a cold winter morning or snow forming within clouds

36
Q

What is a phase change diagram? (look up a picture for reference)

A

A graph that shows the states of a substance at different temps and pressure

37
Q

What do solids usually have on a phase change diagram? (look up a picture for reference)

A

A high pressure and low temperature

38
Q

What do gases usually have on a phase change diagram? (look up a picture for reference)

A

A low pressure and high temperature

39
Q

How is a phase diagram usually set up? What is on the x axis and what is on the y axis? (look up a picture for reference)

A

The temp in Celcius or kelvin is plotted against the pressure in atmospheres.
Pressure on y axis, temp on x axis

40
Q

Every point in a phase change diagram has a different _______ (look up a picture for reference)

A

combination of temperature as x and pressure as y

41
Q

What do the different sections on phase change diagrams show you? (look up a picture for reference)

A

In which part of the graph you will be likely to find a specific state - like solids being around a certain area and gases being around a certain area.

42
Q

What do the different lines on phase change diagrams show you? (look up a picture for reference)

A

The lines show you when some states are in equilibrium - so if the solid area and the liquid area share a line, the two are in equilibrium at spots at temps and pressures that correlate to a spot on that line

43
Q

What is a heating or cooling curve? (look up a picture for reference)

A

Heating curves show how the temperature changes as a substance is heated up/given energy at a constant pressure.
Cooling curves are the opposite. They show how the temperature changes as a substance is cooled down/energy is taken away at a constant pressure.

44
Q

In a heating/cooling curve, a solid is at the ______ end of the graph - meaning at has a ______ temp and ____ absorbed heat

A

lower left
low
very little

45
Q

On a heating/cooling curve, what axes are temp and absorbed heat on?

A

the absorbed heat is on x-axis

temp is on y-axis

46
Q

Why are there some flat lines on a phase change graph?

A

for some amount of time, all of the absorbed heat/energy of the substance is being used to overcome bonds/attraction and change the state of the matter, rather than increase the temp.

47
Q

Name two reasons why a phase change might occur

A

Temperature and pressure

48
Q

Do molecules move freely within a solid?

A

no - molecules only vibrate

49
Q

Which of the 3 common states are compressible?

A

Liquids and gases because they don’t have a fixed shape
