What do you think will happen to the temperature of a substance during a phase change?

Typically, the temperature doesn't change during a phase change.


Difference between latent heat from sensible heat?

Two forms of heat are relevant in air conditioning:1. Sensible Heat2. Latent HeatSensible heatWhen an object is heated, its temperature rises as heat is added. The increase in heat is called sensible heat. Similarly, when heat is removed from an object and its temperature falls, the heat removed is also called sensible heat. Heat that causes a change in temperature in an object is called sensible heat.Latent heatAll pure substances in nature are able to change their state. Solids can become liquids (ice to water) and liquids can become gases (water to vapor) but changes such as these require the addition or removal of heat. The heat that causes these changes is called latent heat.Latent heat however, does not affect the temperature of a substance - for example, water remains at 100°C while boiling. The heat added to keep the water boiling is latent heat. Heat that causes a change of state with no change in temperature is called latent heat.Appreciating this difference is fundamental to understanding why refrigerant is used in cooling systems. It also explains why the terms 'total capacity' (sensible & latent heat) and 'sensible capacity' are used to define a unit's cooling capacity. During the cooling cycling, condensation forms within the unit due to the removal of latent heat from the air. Sensible capacity is the capacity required to lower the temperature and latent capacity is the capacity to remove the moisture from the air.


Why is the temperature expected to remain constant during the thermal arrest?

I think you must mean the 'latent heat of fusion' experiment where a change of state in the cooling curve of a hot liquid like naptha or Octadecanol. the liquid cools as expected until the liquid starts to solidify. The temperature drop is arrested as the crystallisation process emits latent heat. Having solidified it then cools as expected.


How do you think boiling of water will change on sea level as compared to boiling water on a mountain top?

I think that the temperature required to boil water is lower at high altitudes (where the atmospheric pressure is lower) than at sea level.


How can temperature be increased without heating?

It is possible to add heat to a substance without changing its temperature. That happens during melting and boiling. However, I cannot think of a case in which the temperature of a substance increases without heat being added to it, either by radiation, conduction or convection.

Why does water go through phase changes?

Because the chemical of that susbstance does not change, the only change in phase transition is the physical properties. For example, water (liquid) ------> water (ice). In this phase transition water is always H2O, but now water is harden (physically). However, you may think of the interactions between the molecules, but the chemical interation between water molecules do not change, only the fact that they interact with each other more frequently, which is also physical interaction. Hope this is help

What is the measurement of the speed at which the particles in a substance are moving?

Percentage of homogenation or solubility? IF the particles have no specific direction and randomly distribute. Unless your looking for a specific type of movement.Sorry but temperature is the measure of the movement of particles in a substanceI think it is actually temperature, sorry.


What is the process of changing gas to gas is called?

This change of phase doesn't exist; probable you think to a chemical reaction in gaseous phase.


What is a two phase furnace?

A two phase furnace includes 2 types of heat. Usually it is composed of an electric heat pump and also a nat. gas/ propane heat source when the temperature drops below a set range. The reason they use these is because heat pumps are very efficient when there's not a large temperature change required, but they're efficiency drops dramatically when the outside temperature (or ground temperature) drops below freezing. The only other two-phase furnace would be a two-phase electric (as opposed to a three-phase electrical furnace.) But I don't think you're asking about 2 vs 3 phase electrical furnace systems... Those are quite rare.

Which phase of digestion occurs when you think about see or taste food?

A chemial change because during digestion carbohydrates are converted into simple sugar units,proteins into amino acids and so on, water and enzymes present in the body catalysed these reactions.


When you get angry do you get dumber?

When you get angry you might not think very carefully about things, make hasty decisions and do 'stupid' things, your overall intelligence wont change but it might be corrupted during the phase of anger.
