What is the term used to describe the temperature at which the vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure?
Boiling Point
Which phase change process requires the supply of Latent Heat of Vaporization?
Condensation
At equilibrium, in terms of vapor molecules, what happens at the surface of the liquid?
Equal number of molecules evaporate and re-enter
What is the term for the heat energy required to change a substance from solid to liquid at the same temperature?
Latent Heat of Fusion
Visible evaporation throughout the bulk of a liquid is observed at which point?
Boiling Point
For a liquid and vapor to coexist in equilibrium at a given pressure, what temperature condition must be met?
Equal vapor pressure and boiling point
What is the specific latent heat of fusion?
Energy required to convert 1 kg of solid to 1 kg of liquid at the same temperature
Which material has the highest specific latent heat of vaporization?
Copper
What happens when a molecule of water (sweat) evaporates from the skin?
It releases heat energy
Why does it take more energy to evaporate a substance than to melt it?
Melting requires breaking intermolecular bonds, while evaporation involves overcoming intermolecular forces and changing phase
In the applications described, why do birds require twice as much heat to melt snow from solid to liquid at 0°C than to heat it from 0°C to their body temperature of 40°C?
Due to the higher specific latent heat of fusion compared to specific latent heat of vaporization
How does the temperature at which a phase change occurs vary with absolute pressure according to the provided information?
Temperature at which phase change occurs increases with an increase in absolute pressure
What is the amount of energy required to change 1kg of a substance from a solid to a liquid at its melting point called?
Latent Heat of Fusion
In the context of phase changes, what does the term 'specific latent heat' refer to?
The energy required for a substance to change its state per unit mass
Which factor influences the rate of evaporation of liquid molecules?
Temperature
What does the equation 𝑄 = 𝑚𝑐∆𝑇 represent in the context of heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
Amount of energy needed to change temperature
If the specific heat capacity of water is known, what factor determines the amount of heat energy needed to raise its temperature by a certain amount?
Mass of Water
Which term describes the equilibrium state between liquid and vapor phases at a specific temperature?
Latent Heat of Vaporization
