Q

How can something change without changing?

A

When matter changes state(solid-liquid-gas) it does not change what it
is, it changes how it is

Q

Define Kindling Point

A

The temperature at which a particular type of matter
combusts

17
Q

True or false, the kindling point is the same for all types of matter

A

False

18
Q

True or false, every solid has a special temperature at
which it changes from a solid to a liquid.

A

True

19
Q

True or false, this is called the “hot spot”

A

False; this is called the “melting point”

20
Q

True or false, water has a melting point of just over 0 -
degrees Celsius

A

True

21
Q

True or false, other solids have a higher melting point

A

True

22
Q

Give an example of solids that have a higher melting point

A

Steel, rock, or plastic

23
Q

What is sublimation/deposition?

A

The transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without
passing through an intermediate liquid phase.

24
Q

When does sublimation/deposition occur?

A

Occurs at a specific temperature and pressure for specific substances

25
Q

True or false, sublimation/deposition needs a small amount of energy to occur.

A

False; sublimation/deposition requires extra energy to occur

26
Q

Give an example of sublimation

A

Snow will change from a solid to a gas on cold but sunny days (looks like
steam off of a rooftop) and Dry Ice – solidified Carbon Dioxide CO2
