Heating Curves Lesson

Where on a heating curve graph are the phase/state changes?

• slopes

• plateaus

Where on a heating curve graph does kinetic energy and temperature both change?

• slopes

• plateaus

Where on a heating curve graph is there no temperature change?

• at the slopes when phase/state changes occur

• at the plateaus when phase/state changes occur

Given the heating curve of water, what is happening to potential and kinetic energy during segment CD?

• the potential energy and kinetic energy both increase

• the potential energy increases while the kinetic energy decreases

• the potential energy is constant while the kinetic energy increases

• the potential energy increases while the kinetic energy is constant
