State of Matter Change

Question

State Change: Liquid to Solid. Name: Freezing. Energy: Less. Particle Motion: Slower. Heat: Released.

 

State Change: Gas to Liquid. 

 

State Change: Gas to Solid.

 

State Change: Solid to Liquid.

 

State Change: Liquid to Gas.

 

State Change: Solid to Gas.

 

For the last 5 state changes, help me find the name (of what it is doing), the energy (if its less or more), the particle motion (faster or slower), and the heat (what happens to it) USE THE FIRST STATE OF CHANGE LIQUID TO SOLID AS AN EXAMPLE TO WHAT TO DO PLEASE

Answer 1

Lee,

 

Could you start with the name associated with each state change since these names are pretty common?  Think about what you may have heard in Earth Science class or in Home Economics.  

 

I'll help you with the least common: Solid to Gas is called Sublimation so the verb form would be Subliming.  Its opposite is usually called Deposition or Desubliming, depends on how your teacher or textbook treats the vocabulary.

 

As far as the other things this general rule should help:

Changes that move towards more solid things will move them to less energy, slower particle motion, and the release of heat.  Changes that move towards more gaseous things will move them to more energy, higher particle motion, and heat being absorbed (typically we would say absorption of heat).

 

Hope that helps you complete your assignment!  Let me know if you're still stuck.
