    It’s Just a Phase

    Study Guide
    Topics to Study:
    ● Thermal energy
    ○ Definition
    ○ Effect of adding/removing thermal energy on state of matter and temperature of
    a substance
    ● Phase change diagrams
    ● Definition of solid, liquid, and gas
    ● Converting between Celsius and Kelvin
    ● Absolute zero

    Review Questions
    1. Describe the motion and spacing/arrangement of molecules in a solid, liquid, and gas.
    a. solid>tightly packed, vibrate in place
    b. liquid>some distance between particles, particles slide over one another
    c. gas>particles are far apart, freely moving

    2. Label the images as either solid, liquid, or gas by double clicking on the drawing below and
    dragging the terms to the appropriate location.

    3. What is thermal energy? Is it a type of kinetic or potential energy?


    >

    4. Define temperature.
    >

    5. Imagine you have liquid water at 25 C. What will happen to the speed and the distance
    between the molecules as heat is added and the temperature increases to 75 C?
    >
    6. What is absolute zero?
    >

    7. What is the formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin?


    >

    8. What is the formula to convert Kelvin to Celsius?


    >

    9. Convert the following:


    a. 298 K = _25__ C
    b. 323 K = _50__ C
    c. -12 C = _261__ K
    d. 98C = _371__K

    10. Use the phase change diagram below to answer the following questions.z

    a. Label the parts of the graph by double clicking on the image and dragging the terms
    to the appropriate location

    b. Describe what is happening with the temperature (increase/decrease/stay the same)


    at each of the following intervals:
    i. A-B>temp
    ii. B-C>temp
    iii. C-D>temp
    iv. D-E>temp
    v. E-F>temp

    c. What is the melting point of the substance?>

    d. What is the boiling point of the substance?>

    e. Why is the temperature constant during phase changes? Use the terms thermal
    energy, kinetic energy, and intermolecular forces in your response. >

    f. Why does the temperature increase between points A-B, C-D, and E-F? Use the
    terms thermal energy, kinetic energy, speed, and temperature in your response.>
    11. HIghlight the best answer and explain your response. When thermal energy is added or
    removed, the:

    Explain >

    b. When thermal energy is added, the space between particles of matter (increases,
    decreases OR stays the same).
    Explain>

    c. When thermal energy is removed, the space between particles of matter (increases,
    decreases OR stays the same).
    Explain >
