States of Matter Phase Change

The document discusses the three main states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - and the phase changes between them. It explains that phase changes occur when energy is either absorbed from or released by a substance. Adding energy causes particles to move faster and change phase through melting, vaporization, and sublimation. Removing energy allows freezing, condensation, and deposition to occur. Specific examples are given of these endothermic and exothermic phase changes in water and other substances using diagrams and descriptions.

States of Matter

and
Phase Change
Phase Change Diagram
Water
• Water exists on our
planet in three states.
• Ice, water, and water
vapor
• What causes water to
be in one phase or
another?
ENERGY
• When energy is
added to a substance
that energy causes
the particles in the
substance to move
faster and farther
apart.
• What happens to the
particles when energy
is taken away from a
substance?
Phase Change
• Energy content is responsible for the
different phases of matter.
• Matter can be made to change phase
when energy is added to or taken away
from a substance.
Adding Energy
• Phase changes that require the addition of
energy are called endothermic changes.
(endo = inside, therm = heat)
• Which phase changes are endothermic?
– Melting (solid  liquid)
– Boiling (liquid  gas)
– Sublimation (solid  gas)
Removing Energy
• Phase changes that require the addition of
energy are called exothermic changes.
(exo = outside, therm = heat)
• Which phase changes are exothermic?
– Freezing (liquid  solid)
– Condensation (gas  liquid)
– Deposition (reverse sublimation) (gas  solid)
Block of Ice to Steam

• Block of Ice to Water Vapor


Melting- Solid to Liquid
• Melting is the
changing of a solid to
a liquid when the
substance absorbs
heat energy.
• Melting Point
– Water 0° C.
– Table salt 801° C.
– Diamond 3700° C.
Freezing- Liquid to Solid
• Opposite of melting:
liquid changing to a
solid is freezing.
• Freezing occurs when
a substance loses
heat energy.
• The freezing point of
a substance is equal
to the melting point!

Vaporization- Liquid to Gas
• Vaporization is the
changing of a liquid to
a gas when the
substance absorbs
heat energy.
• Vaporization
occurring at the
surface of a liquid is
called evaporation.
Evaporation- a Cooling Process
• As water in the
perspiration
evaporates from your
skin it absorbs and
carries away heat
energy from your
body.
Boiling
• If enough heat energy
is applied to a
substance particles
inside the liquid can
change to gas.
• These particles travel
to the surface of the
liquid and then into
the air. This process
is called boiling.
Phase Change Graph
Boiling Point
• Boiling Point –
temperature at which
a substance boils.
– Water 100° C.
– Table salt 1413° C.
– Diamond 4200° C.
• What is the difference
between evaporation
and boiling?
Water Phase Change Graph
Condensation- Gas to Liquid
• Gases can change
phase, also in a gas
to liquid phase
change.
• A substance in the
gas phase that loses
heat will change to a
liquid. This is called
condensation.
Condensation

• Water vapor in surrounding air loses heat energy when it


comes in contact with the cold glass. Water vapor
condenses and becomes liquid drops of water.
Phase Change Graph
Sublimation – Solid to Liquid

• Solid to gas phase


change occurs when
the surface particles
of a solid change
directly into a gas.
Sublimation – Solid to Liquid

• You may notice this in


the cold winter with
snow. The snow does
not melt, but slowly
disappears.
• Dry ice goes directly
from solid carbon
dioxide to gas.
