    Study Notes

    Temperature During Phase Changes

    • The temperature ( T_f ) indicated by the plateau portion BC represents the melting or freezing point where a pure metal changes state.

    Heat During Freezing Process

    • During the freezing process, heat energy is released from the metal, leading to a phase change from liquid to solid without a change in temperature.

    Cooling Curve for Pure Metal

    • The cooling or temperature-time curve for a pure metal displays a gradual decrease in temperature until it reaches ( T_f ), followed by a plateau indicating the solidification phase, and then a continued drop in temperature as solidification completes.

    State of Metal Above ( T_f )

    • At temperatures above ( T_f ), the metal is in a liquid state, exhibiting properties of fluidity.

    Solidification of Metals Model

    • The most accepted theoretical model for the solidification of metals involves nucleation and growth processes, where small clusters form and grow into a larger solid structure.
