Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a change of state without a change in
temperature
State diagrams illustrate
phase transitions
under different conditions.
True
In a liquid, particles are closely packed but can move around each
other
Endothermic changes of state absorb energy from the
surroundings
Match the change of state with its type of energy change.
Boiling ↔️ Endothermic
Freezing ↔️ Exothermic
Match the type of latent heat with its process.
Latent heat of fusion ↔️ Melting/Freezing
Latent heat of vaporization ↔️ Boiling/Condensation
Changes of state involve transitions between solid, liquid, and
gas
Order the types of latent heat based on the state transition they involve.
1️⃣ Latent heat of fusion
2️⃣ Latent heat of vaporization
Match the property with the state of matter.
Fixed shape ↔️ Solid
Takes the shape of the container ↔️ Liquid
Expands to fill the container ↔️ Gas
A gas has a fixed volume.
False
Exothermic changes of state release energy to the
surroundings
Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a change of state without a change in
temperature
Order the changes of state based on whether they are endothermic or exothermic.
1️⃣ Endothermic: Melting
2️⃣ Endothermic: Boiling
3️⃣ Exothermic: Condensation
4️⃣ Exothermic: Freezing
What is latent heat defined as?
Energy during state change
Latent heat of vaporization changes liquids to gases.
True
Match the property with the state of matter:
Fixed shape ↔️ Solid
Fixed volume ↔️ Liquid
Random motion of particles ↔️ Gas
Endothermic changes absorb energy from the
surroundings
.
Exothermic
changes release energy to the surroundings.
True
Match the change of state with its energy change type:
Melting ↔️ Endothermic
Condensation ↔️ Exothermic
What are the two types of latent heat?
Fusion and vaporization
Latent heat of vaporization is needed to change a liquid into a
gas
.
What is latent heat of vaporization?
Energy to change liquid to gas
Latent heat of vaporization is released during condensation.
True
What is latent heat of fusion?
Energy to change solid to liquid
Latent heat of fusion is released during freezing.
True
Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a change of
state
Order the main phase transitions based on energy change (from exothermic to endothermic):
1️⃣ Freezing
2️⃣ Condensation
3️⃣ Boiling
4️⃣ Melting
What do state diagrams visually depict?
Phase transitions and conditions
In the exothermic processes of condensation and freezing, heat energy is released to the
surroundings
Latent heat of fusion changes
solids
to liquids.
What are changes of state affected by?
Temperature and pressure
What are the two types of energy changes involved in changes of state?
Endothermic and exothermic
What are two examples of endothermic processes?
Melting and boiling
What are two examples of exothermic processes?
Freezing and condensation
Latent heat is absorbed or released during a
change
of state without a change in temperature.
True
What does latent heat of fusion overcome during melting?
Intermolecular forces
Match the latent heat type with its process:
Fusion ↔️ Melting or freezing
Vaporization ↔️ Boiling or condensation
During boiling, the liquid absorbs latent heat from the
surroundings
During melting, the solid absorbs latent heat from the
surroundings
Match the type of latent heat with its process:
Latent heat of fusion ↔️ Melting/Freezing
Latent heat of vaporization ↔️ Boiling/Condensation
