Phase Changes Worksheet

This document provides information about phase changes and the kinetic molecular theory. It defines the three phases of matter as solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a definite volume and shape, with molecules packed tightly and moving slowly. Liquids have a definite volume but not shape, with loosely packed and faster moving molecules that allow it to flow. Gases have indefinite volume and shape, with rapidly moving molecules that fill their container. The document describes phase changes like melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, sublimation, and deposition. It includes a graph showing phase changes with heating and questions to answer about the graph using the provided information.

Kinetic Theory of Matter:
Molecules are always moving. This is known as the kinetic theory of matter.
We measure this kinetic energy with a thermometer as temperature.
The greater the material's internal energy, the higher the temperature of that material.
Heat is the energy flow between objects of different temperature.
Heat and temperature are NT the same.
Brownian motion describes how !isible particles are seen mo!ing due to in!isible molecules
bumping into them.
Phases of Matter:
Solid
matter that has definite !olume and shape.
The molecules are packed together tightly and mo!e slowly.
Liquid
matter that has definite !olume but not shape.
"ince the molecules of a li#uid are loosely packed and mo!e with greater speed,
a li#uid can flow and spread.
Gas
matter that has indefinite !olume or shape.
Molecules of a gas are so loosely arranged and mo!e so rapidly that they will fill their container.

Phase Change Worksheet
The graph was drawn from data collected as a substance was heated at a constant rate. &se the graph to
answer the following #uestions.
At point A, the beginning of observations, the substance exists in a solid state. Material in
this phase has _________________ volume and _________________ shape. With each passing
minute, _________________ is added to the substance. This causes the molecules of the
substance to _________________ more rapidly which we detect by a ________________ rise in
the substance. At point B, the temperature of the substance is __________. The solid
begins to ________________. At point , the substance is completely _______________ or in a
_______________ state. Material in this phase has _________________ volume and
________________ shape. The energy put to the substance between minutes ! and " was
used to convert the substance from a __________________ to a _________________. This heat
energy is called the latent heat of fusion. #An interesting fact.$
%etween " and &' minutes, the added energy increases the ____________________ of the
substance. (uring the time from point D to point E, the li)uid is ____________________. %y
point E, the substance is completely in the ________________ phase. Material in this phase
has __________________ volume and ___________________ shape. The energy put to the
substance between minutes &' and &* converted the substance from a _______________ to
a _______________ state. This heat energy is called the latent heat of vaporization. #An
interesting fact.$ %eyond point E, the substance is still in the ___________________ phase,
