3.2 Changes of State

-What happens when a substance changes from one state of matter to another?

-What happens to mass and energy during physical and chemical changes?

What Causes Matter to Change States?

• During a change of state, matter changes from one physical form to another. Changes of state are caused by a transfer of energy.

• During a change of state, the energy of a substance changes. The identity of a substance does not change during a change of state.

• Ex. Ice and liquid water are the same substance

Multiple Choice

During a change of state, what stays the same?

• energy of a substance

• identity of a substance

Adding and Removing Energy

• You can change the state of a substance by adding or removing energy. Adding energy causes the particles of a substance to move more quickly. Removing energy causes the particles of a substance to move more slowly.

• For example, you can add energy to a substance by heating it.

Temperature and Energy

• We know that when you add energy to a substance, the particles in the substance move more quickly. Because there is energy being added, there is an increase in kinetic energy of the particles.

• Remember that temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance

Why may the temperature of a substance change when energy is added?

Changes of State that Require Energy

• Melting is the change in state from a solid to a liquid.

• Evaporation is the change in state from a liquid to a gas. Boiling is evaporation that happens throughout a liquid at a specific temperature and pressure.

• Sublimation is the change in state from a solid to a gas. Ex. Dry ice changes to a gas at room temperature.

How does melting differ from sublimation?

Changes of State that Release Energy

• Condensation is the change in state from a gas to a liquid. Condensation often happens when a gas touches a cool surface

• Condensation point is the temperature at which a gas becomes a liquid.

• Freezing is the change in state from a liquid to a solid. The temperature at which a substance freezes is its freezing point (same as its melting point)

What Happens to Temperature During Changes of State

• When a substance loses or gains energy, either its temperature changes or its state changes. These two changes do not happen at the same time.

• The temperature of a substance does not change during a change of state.

Multiple Choice

What happens to the temperature of a substance during a change of state?

• The temperature of a substance does not change

• The temperature of a substance does change

What Happens to Mass During Physical and Chemical Changes?

• During a chemical or physical change, mass cannot be created or destroyed.

• This can be described as the law of conservation of mass.

What Happens to Energy During Chemical and Physical Changes?

• Just like mass, energy cannot be created or destroyed during a physical or chemical change.

• This is known as the law of conservation of energy.

• The total amount of energy before the change must equal the total amount of energy after the change.
