(01.05 LC)
When heat energy is added, two changes are observed:
Change A: Solid changes phases to a liquid.
Change B: Liquid changes phases to a gas.
What are the names for phase changes A and B?
A is freezing and B is evaporation.
A is freezing and B is condensation.
A is melting and B is evaporation.
A is melting and B is condensation.

Respuesta :

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Melting is defined as the process in which a solid phase of a substance changes into liquid phase. And, a process in which liquid state of a substance changes into gaseous phase.

When we heat a solid substance then its molecules absorb heat energy and bonds between its atoms tend to break down. As a result, molecules gain kinetic energy and solid changes into liquid state.

Upon further heating, more kinetic energy is gained by molecules of a liquid. As a result, liquid changes into vapors or gaseous state.

Thus, we can conclude that the names for phase changes A and B are A is melting and B is evaporation.
