Describe each of the 6 phase changes along a heating curve. What phases are between each phase change, and is the change endothermic or exothermic?
The 6 phase changes are vaporization, condensation, freezing, melting, sublimation, and deposition. Melting, sublimation, and vaporization are endothermic. Freezing, deposition, and condensation are exothermic.
Explain how temperature can be used to determine whether or not a phase change is occurring.
Explain how temperature can be used to determine whether or not a phase change is occurring.
Temperature can be used to determine if a phase change is occurring because if the temperature doesn't change and remains constant, then a phase change is happening.
Explain what happens on the molecular level (between particles) when a phase change is occurring.
Explain what happens on the molecular level (between particles) when a phase change is occurring.
The molecular level slows down. The molecules have a chemical reaction with the amount of heat. They change sizes as they're changing during a phase change.

Study Notes
Phase Changes and Heating Curve
- Six phase changes: vaporization, condensation, freezing, melting, sublimation, and deposition.
- Melting, sublimation, and vaporization are endothermic (absorb heat).
- Freezing, deposition, and condensation are exothermic (release heat).
Determining Phase Changes
- Constant temperature indicates a phase change is occurring, even if heat is added or removed.
Molecular Changes During Phase Changes
- Molecules slow down during phase changes.
- Chemical reactions with heat affect molecule size and behavior.
Evaporation vs. Boiling
- Evaporation occurs at the surface of a liquid; boiling occurs throughout the liquid with bubbles forming.
- Evaporation can happen below the boiling point of the liquid.
States of Matter
- Three main states: solid, liquid, gas.
- Plasma exists at extremely high temperatures.
Kinetic Theory of Matter
- Gases: Loose spacing and rapid movement, fill the container shape.
- Liquids: Moderate spacing, take the shape of the container, moderate movement.
- Solids: Very tight packing, minimal movement, retain a definite shape.
Gas Pressure
- Created by gas particles colliding with surfaces.
- Increases with temperature due to greater molecular energy and motion.
Heat vs. Temperature
- Heat is the total energy from molecular motion; temperature measures average molecular thermal energy.
- Adding heat increases temperature as atoms move faster.
Heat Transfer in Reactions
- Endothermic reactions absorb heat from surroundings.
- Exothermic reactions release heat to surroundings.
Bond Formation and Phase Changes
- Formation of stable bonds releases energy (exothermic).
- Breaking bonds requires energy, absorbing it (endothermic).
Temperature Change and Reaction Type
- An increase in temperature indicates an exothermic reaction (energy released).
- A decrease in temperature indicates an endothermic reaction (energy absorbed).
Experimental Design Essentials
- Identify variables, compose problem statements, and formulate hypotheses.
- Interpret data from tables or graphs and support conclusions with evidence.
- Assess validity based on experimental procedure and background.
Characteristics of Matter
- Solid: Definite shape and volume.
- Liquid: Definite volume, no definite shape.
- Gas: No definite shape or volume.
- Kinetic Energy: Energy due to motion.
Key Concepts and Terms
- Exothermic Reaction: Releases energy to the surroundings.
- Endothermic Reaction: Absorbs energy from the surroundings.
- Evaporation: Liquid to gas below boiling point.
- Condensation: Gas to liquid phase change.
- Vaporization: Liquid to gas phase change.
- Deposition: Gas to solid without becoming a liquid.
- Sublimation: Solid to gas without becoming a liquid.
- Joules: Standard unit of energy.
- Celsius: Temperature scale based on freezing (0°C) and boiling (100°C) points.
- Heat: Energy associated with atomic and molecular movement.
- Temperature: Measure of heat in a given area or body.
