Chapter 2 Intro


The Heat/Cooling Curve of a Pure Substance


Description of the diagram

                                                                     A-B

The particles are closely packed together and
can only vibrate at a fixed position. 
It stays solid anywhere below its meling point.


B


The particles in the solide are being heated
and the heat enrgy is converted to kinetic enrgy.
Thus the particles vibrate faster and move further apart.

B-C

 
Solid has begun melting but the
temperature remains the same


C


At solid at its melting point. it is in
both solid and liquid state. The temperature
remins constant becuase it is used to
over come forces between the particles

C-D


Turn to full liquid state.

D
Liquid is heated and molecules begans to move faster
due to the kinetic energy in the increase of temperature

                           D-E

Molecules recieves enough energy to
to overcome forces between particle. Some liquid
molecules begin to change into gas

E


Evaporation begins.

E-F

Liquid has turn all into gas
 Temperature increases as heating continue.Gas particles are moving much fast do to much bigges space
