1. With no heat added or removed, describe the movement of the water molecules in the solid state. How do the molecules move in relation to one another? How does Kinetic Theory explain this movement? Note the temperature of the solid water (ice).

The water is at -273 °C. Now slowly add heat to the sample of ice. Let's start thinking and observing the forces of attraction or "bonds" between the water molecules in the solid phase. What happens to those bonds between the ice/water as the temperature passes 0 °C? Does this make sense in terms of the observations that were previously made about the types of motion and randomness of the motion between solid and liquid water? Explain.

In Activity 4, you observed that after about 15 to 20 minutes, the ice (solid water) on the saucer turned into water. The ice cube which was taken from the freezer is at a lower temperature than the surrounding room temperature. Some of the energy of the surroundings is transferred to the water molecules in the ice. The kinetic energy of the molecules increases as the heat transfer continues, causing the particles to gain more and more kinetic energy. The molecules move faster and faster and at some point have enough energy to overcome the forces that hold them in their fixed positions in the solid. Since the molecules vibrate so fast, they move away from their fixed positions. The arrangement of the water molecules in ice gradually becomes less ordered and the solid where the molecules are in fixed positions turns to liquid where the molecules are more free to move. This change process in which a solid turns into a liquid is called melting.

Label the heating curve indicating when the water exists as: a solid; an equilibrium of solid and liquid; a liquid; an equilibrium of liquid and gas; and a gas. 2. What is an "everyday word" that may be used instead of: a. "fuses" to describe a solid becoming a liquid? b. "crystallizes"? c. "vaporizes"? 3a. In each of the "containers" below, using twelve •'s to represent 12 water molecules, sketch a "freeze frame" cartoon representing how the molecules might be look in each of the three phases. b. What differentiates solid, liquid and gas phases from each other? As part of your response discuss how the energy of attraction between particles compares with their energy of motion (i.e. their kinetic energy, Ek), the distances between particles, their compressibility and their relative viscosities (i.e. resistance to flow). c. What types of forces, intramolecular or intermolecular..... i.) prevent ice cubes from adopting the shape of their container? ii.) are overcome when ice melts? iii.) are overcome when liquid water is vaporized? iv.) are overcome when gaseous water is converted to H2(g) and O2(g)?
