Changes of State Chapter 3 Section 2
2
Change of State Change of a substance from one physical form to another All physical changes Energy changes when change of state occurs –Either add or remove energy
3
Changes of State 1.Melting and melting point (liquid) 2.Freezing and freezing point (solid) 3.Vaporization- boiling and evaporation, boiling point (gas) 4.Condensation 5.Sublimation – solid to a gas (no liquid state)
4
4 States of Matter Solid – specific volume and shape Liquid - definite volume but not shape Gas - does not have a definite volume or shape Plasma - starts as a gas and then becomes ionized; it consists of free-moving ions and electrons, it takes on an electric charge, its different from those of a solid, liquid, or gas Examples: stars, nebulas, northern lights, neon signs and lights
5
Melting Solid to liquid Energy must be added –Endothermic because energy is gained Melting Point temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid
6
Freezing Liquid to a solid Energy is removed – exothermic change Freezing point temperature at which a substances freezes
7
Vaporization Liquid to gas 2 types: –Boiling vaporization takes place throughout liquid Boiling point- temperature at which liquid boils –Evaporation vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid below boiling point EXAMPLE: sweat
8
Condensation Gas to liquid Condensation point of a substance is the same temperature as its boiling point at a given pressure Exothermic change - energy is removed (EXITS)
9
Sublimation Solid to a gas Endothermic change- gain energy (ENters) EXAMPLE: dry ice
