temperature.

Phase Change Worksheet
(Modified from Mr. Rick’s Oak Harbor High School Webpage http://ohhs.ohsd.net/~brick/psc/psca_phase_change_worksht.htm)
Use the graph to answer the following
questions.
At point A, the beginning of
observations, the substance exists in a
__________ state. Material in this phase
has _______________ volume and
_____________ shape.
With each passing minute,
_____________ is added to the
substance. This causes the molecules
of the substance to ____________ more
rapidly which we detect by a
temperature rise in the substance. At
point B, the temperature of the substance is ______°C.
The solid begins to __________. At point C, the substance is all in the ___________ state of
matter. Material in this phase has _______________ volume and _____________ shape. The
energy put to the substance between minutes 5 and 9 was used to convert the substance
from a ___________ to a ___________.
Between 9 and 13 minutes, the added energy increases the temperature of the substance.
During the time from point D to point E, the liquid is ___________. By point E, the substance is
completely in the __________ phase. Material in this phase has _____________ volume and
___________ shape.
The energy put to the substance between minutes 13 and 18 converted the substance from
a ___________ to a ___________ state. Beyond point E, the substance is still in the
______________ phase, but the molecules are moving faster as indicated by the increasing
temperature.
TO RECAP:
From A to B, the material is in the ___________ state of matter
From B to C, the process of ______________ is taking pace
From C to D, the material is in the _____________ state of matter
From D to E, the process of _______________ is taking place
Anything after E is in the ____________ state of matter.
Substance
