Heating Curves

Heating Curves

Heating Curve

is a graph which shows the heating of a substance and its changes of state of matter.

Melting Point

The first horizontal line is the constant temperature for change of solid to liquid. This the the melting point e.g. mpt water = 0^oC

Multiple Choice

What is the melting point of water?

• 100^oC

• 25^oC

• 0^oC

Boiling Point

The constant temperature when liquid changes to gas. This is the second horizontal line in the heating curve (bpt water = 100^oC).

Identify on the heating curve

a) liquid

b) gas

c) boiling point

What is the temperature at which this liquid boils?

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

In which region(s) does temperature remain constant?

• Region 1, 3, & 5
• Region 2 & 4
• Region 1 only
• Region 1 & 2

Multiple Choice
