As heat flows into a substance, its temperature changes according to the graph in the diagram. For what sections of the graph is the substance undergoing a phase change? For the sections you identified, what kind of phase change is occurring? (tutorial: temperature graph) (GRAPH CAN'T COPY)
The following figure represents the temperature versus time plot for a given amount of a substance when heat energy is supplied to it at a fixed rate and at a constant pressure. Which part of the above plot represent a phase change? (a) $a$ to $b$ and $e$ to $f$ (b) $b$ to $c$ and $c$ to $d$ (c) $d$ to $e$ and $e$ to $f$ (d) $b$ to $c$ and $d$ to $e$
(a) What phase change is represented by the "heat of vaporization" of a substance? (b) Is the process of vaporization endothermic or exothermic? (c) If you compare a substance's heat of vaporization to the amount of heat released during condensation, which one is generally larger (consider the numerical value only)?
