The capacity for an object to be heated and retain heat is determined by its phase because of the way the different phases of matter move. The more freely the molecules are able to move around (like in a gas), the more likely the excited (or warmed up) molecules will leave the group, causing the heat to dispress more quickly.
What else can I help you with?
Which phase always fills its container?
when a substance is in liquid phase
What does a phase diagram provide?
"A phase diagram is a graph of pressure versus temperature that shows in which phase a substance exists under different condition of temperature and pressure" -Glencoe Chemistry Book
Does volume change when substance changes states?
Yes. Usually when a substance freezes, or becomes a solid, it will decrease in volume, causing an increase in density. Water is an exception, which is less dense when it freezes/becomes solid.
Melting is an example of a?
Melting is an example of a phase change. The substance is going from the solid state to the liquid state.
What is the change of a substance from one physical state to another?
change of state
The energy needed to melt or boil 1kg of a substance by 1C?
The energy needed to melt or boil 1kg of a substance by 1°C is known as the specific heat capacity. This value varies depending on the substance and phase change. For example, the specific heat capacity for water is 4.18 J/g°C for heating, 333.55 kJ/kg for melting (0°C to 100°C), and 2260 kJ/kg for boiling (100°C to 100°C).
What temperature at which a substance in the liquid phase transforms to the gaseous phase refers to the substances?
The temperature at which a substance in the liquid phase transforms to the gaseous phase is called the boiling point for pure substances. It is a characteristic property of the substance and remains constant under a specific pressure.
What two things does the specific latent heat of a material depend on?
The specific latent heat of a material depends on the substance being considered and the phase change involved, such as condensation or freezing.
What can be learned from measuring a temperature change in a substance?
Measuring a temperature change in a substance can provide information about the heat energy being transferred into or out of the substance. This can help in understanding the substance's properties, such as its specific heat capacity or phase changes. It can also be used to monitor chemical reactions, physical changes, or to determine the efficiency of heating or cooling processes.
What does a phase diagram show for a substance?
A phase diagram shows if a substance is going to be a solid gas, or liquid at a combination of pressure and temperature. It states what phase of matter a substance is at a specific temperature.
What is the relationship between vapor pressure and phase diagram in a substance?
The vapor pressure of a substance is related to its phase diagram because the vapor pressure determines the conditions at which the substance transitions between different phases (solid, liquid, gas). The phase diagram shows how the substance behaves at different temperatures and pressures, including the points where the substance transitions between phases. The vapor pressure at a specific temperature and pressure can help determine the phase of the substance on the phase diagram.
Are properties that can be observed or measured without changing a substance into a new substance?
Yes, these are thy physical properties of substances.
Which phase of a substance can exist when the pressure is less than the pressure of the triple point?
When the pressure is less than the pressure of the triple point, the substance can exist in the gas phase. At pressures below the triple point, the substance would typically be in the gas phase due to the lower pressure preventing the substance from forming a liquid or solid.
Thermal energy depends on what two factors?
I would say that an object's thermal energy depends on four factors: its mass, its temperature, its heat capacity, and any phase changes, for example from solid to liquid.I would say that an object's thermal energy depends on four factors: its mass, its temperature, its heat capacity, and any phase changes, for example from solid to liquid.I would say that an object's thermal energy depends on four factors: its mass, its temperature, its heat capacity, and any phase changes, for example from solid to liquid.I would say that an object's thermal energy depends on four factors: its mass, its temperature, its heat capacity, and any phase changes, for example from solid to liquid.
The phase of matter depends on what?
Heat and pressure are the two main factors that determine a substance's current phase.With high heat a substance's phase drifts toward the gaseous phase while freezing temperatures cause it to move toward its solid phase. With pressure it is the opposite. Higher pressures push the substance toward its solid phase, while lower pressures will encourage the substance to evaporate into its gaseous phase.
What is the difference of heat capacity and latent heat?
Specific heat capacity (equation Q=mc��T) is the measure of the energy required in Joules to raise 1kg of a substance by 1.0 K (numerically equivalent to 1 C)Whereas, specific latent heat (equation Q=mL) is the amount of energy needed to change to the state of a substance either from solid to liquid, liquid to gas without changing its temperature.
When a substance changes from one physical form to another you say the substance has had a what?
When a substance changes from one physical form to another, you say the substance has had a phase change or undergone a phase transition.
