Phase changes 3.3
Vocab words
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Phase change | Is the reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another. |
| Endothermic | During an endothermic change the system absorbs energy from its surroundings. |
| Heat of fusion | The energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a solid to a liquid. |
| Exothermic | During an exothermic change, the system releases energy to its surroundings. |
| Vaporization | The phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas is vaporization. |
| Heat of vaporization | The energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a liquid to a gas. |
| Evaporation | Evaporation is the process that changes a substance from a liquid to a gas at temperature below the substances boiling point. |
| Vapor pressure | The pressure caused by those collisions of this vapor and the walls of the container is called vapor pressure. |
| Condensation | Condensation is a phase change in which a substance changes from a gas or vapor to a liquid. |
| Sublimation | Sublimation is the phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first. |
| Deposition | When a gas or vapor changes directly into a solid without first changing to a liquid, the phase change is called deposition. |
