Title: Changes in states of matter
1Changes in states of matter
- 1. The changes in the states of matter are
caused by heating or cooling. For example, ice
melts when it is heated and water changes into
ice when it is frozen.

Melting
?When a solid is heated, the particles in the solid gain kinetic energy and vibrate more vigorously.

?When a solid is heated, the particles in the solid gain kinetic energy and vibrate more vigorously. ?The particles vibrate faster as the temperature increases until the energy they gain is able to overcome the forces that hold them at their fixed positions.

?When a liquid is cooled, the particles in the liquid lose energy and move slower. ?As the temperature continues to drop, the particles continue to lose more energy until they do not have enough energy to move freely.

Boiling
?When a liquid is heated, the particles of the liquid gain kinetic energy and move faster as the temperature increases. ?Eventually, the particles have enough energy to completely break the forces holding them together.

Sublimation
Sublimation is a process by which a solid changes directly into a gas without passing through the liquid state and vice versa. Examples of substances that undergo sublimation are iodine, ammonium chloride, NH4Cl and dry ice (solid carbon dioxide).

- The heating graph of naphthalene
- 1. Notice that there is a certain part of the
curve where is no change in temperature with time
during cooling. At this temperature, both solid
and liquid are present. It is the melting point
of naphthalene. Hence, the melting point of
naphthalene is 80.0C.
29Changes in states of matter
- Discussion
- The heating graph of naphthalene
- (a) At point A, naphthalene exists as solid.
30Changes in states of matter
- Discussion
- The heating graph of naphthalene
- (b) When the solid is heated, heat energy is
absorbed. This causes the particles to gain
kinetic energy and vibrate faster. The
temperature increases from point A to point B.
31The cooling graph of naphthalene
- (c) At point B, solid naphthalene begins to
melt. During the melting process, the temperature
of naphthalene does not rise even though heating
continues. The temperature remains constant
because the heat energy absorbed by the particles
is used to overcome the forces between particles
so that the solid can turn into a liquid. At this
temperature, both solid and liquid are present.
32Changes in states of matter
- (d) At point C, all the solid naphthalene has
melted.
33Changes in states of matter

liquid naphthalene absorb heat energy and move
faster. The temperature increases from point C to
point D.

curve where is no change in temperature with time
during cooling. At this temperature, both solid
and liquid are present. It is the freezing point
of naphthalene. Hence, the freezing point of

- (a) At point M, naphthalene exists as liquid.
37The cooling graph of naphthalene
- Discussion
- (b) When the liquid is cooled, the particles in
the liquid lose their kinetic energy. They move
slower as the temperature decreases from point M
to point N.
38The cooling graph of naphthalene
- Discussion
- (c) At point N, liquid naphthalene begins to
freeze. During the freezing process, the
temperature of naphthalene remains constant
because the heat loss to the surroundings is
balanced by the heat energy given off during
freezing. At this temperature, both solid and
liquid are present.

solid naphthalene release heat energy and vibrate
slower. The temperature decreases from point O to
point P.
41Inter-conversion of States of Matter and Kinetic
Theory of Matter
- 3. During the heating of naphthalene,
- (a) a water bath is used instead of direct
heating with a Bunsen flame. This is to ensure
that the naphthalene is heated evenly.
Furthermore, the naphthalene is flammable.
42Inter-conversion of States of Matter and Kinetic
Theory of Matter
- 3. During the heating of naphthalene,
- (b) the naphthalene is stirred continuously to
ensure an even heating.
43Inter-conversion of States of Matter and Kinetic
Theory of Matter
- Discussion
- 4. During the cooling of naphthalene,
- (a) the boiling tube containing the liquid
naphthalene is placed in a conical flask. The air
trapped in the conical flask is a poor conductor
of heat. This helps to minimise the heat loss to
the surroundings which may affect the accuracy of
the freezing point obtained.
44Inter-conversion of States of Matter and Kinetic
Theory of Matter
- Discussion
- 4. During the cooling of naphthalene,
- (b) the naphthalene is stirred continuously to
avoid supercooling. Supercooling is a condition
in which the temperature of a cooling liquid
drops below its normal freezing point, without
the appearance of a solid.
45Inter-conversion of States of Matter and Kinetic
Theory of Matter
- Discussion
- 5. A water bath is used in this experiment
because the melting point of naphthalene is below
100C, the maximum temperature that can be
attained by the water bath. For solids with
melting points above 100C, a liquid with a
higher boiling point than water such as oil must
be used.
46Inter-conversion of States of Matter and Kinetic
Theory of Matter
- Conclusion
- The temperature of naphthalene increases when the
solid is heated and it decreases when liquid
naphthalene is cooled down. The melting and
freezing points are the same, that is 80C.
