Q

what are the similarities between melting and solidification?

A
  • they occur at constant temperature.
  • no change in the avergae kinetic energy of particles during the processes.

Q

what are the difference between melting and solidification?

A
  • energy is absorbed by substance from surrounding during melting while energy is released by substance to surroundings during solidification.
  • internal potential energy increases during melting while internal potential energy decreases during solidification.
  • energy is absorbed to break the strong bonds between particles and increase the average spacing between particles during melting however energy is released when strong bonds form between particles and average spacing between particles decreases during solidification.

Q

define boiling

A

process in which substance absorbs thermal energy to change from liquid to gaseous state at a fixed temperature

17
Q

define condensation

A

process in which a substance loses thermal energy to change from gaseous state to liquid state at a fixed temperature

18
Q

what are the differences between boiling and condensation?

A
  • boiling is the change in state from liquid to gas while condensation is the change in state from gas to liquid
  • energy is absorbed by substance from surroundings during boiling whereas energy is released by substance to surroundings during condensation
  • internal potential energy increases during boiling whereas internal potential energy decreases during condensation
  • energy absorbed to break strong bonds between particles and increase average spacing between particles, pushing back air molecules during boiling whereas during condensation, energy is released when strong bonds form between particles and average spacing between particles decreases
19
Q

what are the similarities between boiling and condensation?

A
  • they occur at a constant temperature
  • there is no change in average kinetic energy
20
Q

what are the differences between boiling and evaporation?

A
  • boiling occurs at fixed temp. whereas evaporation occurs at any temperature
  • boiling is a relatively quick process whereas evaporation is a relatively slow process

-boiling takes place throughout the liquid whereas evaporation takes place only at the surface of the liquid

  • bubbles are formed in the liquid during boiling whereas no bubbles are formed in the liquid during evaporation
  • temperature remains constant during boiling whereas temperature usually decreases during evaporation
  • thermal energy is supplied by an energy source during boiling whereas thermal energy is supplied by the surroundings during evaporation
