Q

what happens if you increase the temperature of a solid?

A

the particles gain energy in their kinetic store and vibrate more until they overcome the IMF- breaking their rigid structure
the particles have enough energy to move over one another- turning into a liquid

Q

method?

A

1) place the ice cubes in the beaker
2) place the thermometer in the beaker
3) place the beaker on the tripod and gauze and start to heat it using the bunsen burner
4) as the beaker is being heated, take regular temperature measurements
5) continue this while the substance changes state

Q

what will the graph show?

A

regions where the temperatures of the ice cubes increases
no temperature change even though the ice cubes continue to be heated
this should occur at 0 degrees where the ice is melting from solid to liquid
