What is a heating curve?

A graph showing temperature changes of a substance as heat is added over time.

Phase changes in water.

Involves melting, boiling, condensing, and freezing at specific temperatures.

What happens at 0°C?

Water freezes to ice or melts from ice, the phase change occurs here.

What happens at 100°C?

Water boils to steam or condenses from steam; another phase change occurs.

True or false: Heating curves are linear.

False, because the slopes vary during phase changes.

Difference between melting and boiling.

Melting is solid to liquid at 0°C; boiling is liquid to gas at 100°C.

Fill in the blank: The heat of fusion is required for _____.

melting ice into water at 0°C.

Fill in the blank: The heat of vaporization is required for _____.

boiling water into steam at 100°C.

What is the heat of fusion?

The energy needed to change a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point.

What is the heat of vaporization?

The energy needed to change a substance from liquid to gas at its boiling point.

True or false: Ice has higher energy than water.

False, because ice has lower energy than liquid water.

Heat energy increases during which phases?

Liquid and gas; it remains constant during phase changes.

What does the plateau represent?

A phase change where temperature remains constant while heat is added.

What occurs during the heating process?

Temperature rises until the boiling point, then it levels off during boiling.

Which phase change requires more energy?

Vaporization requires more energy than melting due to stronger intermolecular forces.
