| Term | Definition |
|
physical changes |
melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation |
|
physical |
identity doesn't change |
|
Melting point |
temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid (vary between sustances) |
|
Melting |
Solid to a liquid+endothermic change |
|
Freezing point |
temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid tp a solid |
|
Freezing |
liquid to a solid+Exothermic change |
|
Vaporization |
liquid to a gas+endothermic |
|
Boiling |
occurs throughout a liquid |
|
Boiling point |
temp. at which a liquid boils |
|
Evaporation |
occurs only at the surface of a liquid below its boiling point |
|
Condensation |
gas to liquid+ exothermic change |
|
Condensation Point |
at sea level occurs at same temp. as boiling point -100 |
|
Sublimation |
solid to gas+ Endothermic ex: dry ice |
|
Endothermic |
adding energy |
|
Exothermic |
taking away energy |
|
Boyls Law |
Deals with constant temperature – if the pressure is decreased, the volume will increase.Is the relationship between pressure and volume |
|
Charles Law |
Deals with constant pressure – if the temperature decreases, the volume will decrease. Also, if the temperature increases the volume will increase. Examples include our balloon lab, a basketball getting flat in the winter, a bike tire getting flat in the winter |
|
Melting and Freezing Point |
occur at the same temperature – It just depends whether energy is added or removed at that point |
