Phase Changes in Matter

Substances on Earth can exist in one of four phases, but mostly, they exist in one of three:
solid, liquid, or gas. Learn the six changes of phase: freezing, melting, condensation,
evaporation, sublimation, and deposition.

A phase is a distinctive form of a substance, and matter can change among these phases. It
may take extreme temperature, pressure, or energy, but all matter can be changed.
1.Melting: the substance changes back from the solid to the liquid.
Changes between a Solid and a Gas
The ice cube from the freezer is at a lower temperature than the surrounding room
temperature. Some of the heat energy of the surroundings is transferred to the water molecules
in the ice. This increases the kinetic energy of the molecules and as the heat transfer continues,
the particles gain more and more kinetic energy. The molecules vibrate faster and faster and
at some points have enough energy to overcome the forces that hold them in their fixed
places in the solid. Since the molecules vibrate so fast, they break away from their fixed
positions. The arrangement of the water molecules in ice gradually becomes disorganized and
the solid where the molecules are in fixed positions turns to liquid where the molecules are free
to move. This transformation process in which a solid is changed to a liquid is called
Melting.

2. Freezing: the substance changes from a liquid to a solid.

On the other hand, when you put liquid water inside a freezer, the cooling system of the
refrigerator removes heat energy from the water molecules as a result of which they have less
kinetic energy and move more slowly. As more and more heat is removed and as the
molecules move more slowly, the forces of attraction between the molecules cause the
molecules to be aligned. As this removal of heat continues, the molecules lose so much energy

2
that they are not able to move from place to place but only able to vibrate in place. In time, the
liquid water becomes solid water, which is ice. Freezing- is the process in which a liquid is
changed to a solid.

Note that liquid water that freezes is still water. Similarly, ice that melts is still water. This is
why after melting an ice cube, you can freeze the liquid water back to ice. In other words, the
same molecules of water are involved when these changes occur.

3. Evaporation: the substance changes from a liquid to a gas.

Changes between a Liquid and a Gas

Have you tried to observe that the volume of water from an open container decreased after
leaving it overnight? How do we explain this? Based on the particle model of matter, particles
are always in motion. Note that the particles mentioned in this case are the molecules of water.
These molecules have kinetic energies that differ from each other. Some particles are moving
faster than others and therefore, have higher kinetic energy and some are moving slower. So,
even at room temperature, some molecules of water have enough kinetic energy to overcome
the attraction of neighboring molecules and escape from the surface of the liquid and eventually
move into the air. To break away from the surface of the liquid, the molecules must have at
least some minimum kinetic energy. The process by which the molecules on the surface of
a liquid break away and change into gas is called evaporation. Usually, it is described as
the process where a liquid is changed into a gas.

3
As evaporation takes place, the water molecules which did not escape and were left in the liquid
have a lower average kinetic energy than the molecules that escaped. The effect of this is the
decrease in the temperature of the liquid water. Evaporation is a cooling process.

It is important to remember that the evaporation of a liquid in a closed container is different

from evaporation from an open container. In a closed container, no particles can escape
into the air outside the cover of the container. may have observed that droplets of water formed
under the watch glass which covered the second watch glass with water. So, evaporation still
happens in a covered container. Some of the molecules of water on the surface of the liquid
escape and go into the gaseous state. As the water is heated and the temperature of the water
rises, the molecules gain more kinetic energy and they move faster. More molecules, therefore,
have the energy to overcome the forces of attraction of the adjacent molecules. These
molecules escape to the gaseous phase. This is evaporation.

https://www.google.com/search?q=evaporation+examples&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjKze_mwJbuAhUkNqYKHV
BvARcQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq

This evaporation and formation of gas can happen even below the surface of the liquid. When
this happens bubbles are formed, rise to the surface, and escape into the air. This is the
bubbling phenomenon that you see when water boils.

4.Condensation: the substance changes from a gas to a liquid

These molecules may then collide with the inner surface of the cover and as more and more
of these molecules do so, some may stay on the cover, accumulate and form droplets. This
process where a gas is changed into a liquid is called condensation. It is the reverse of
evaporation.
In a closed container, the molecules of water continue to evaporate and condense, but there is
no net change in the number of molecules in the liquid or in the gas phase. Molecules of water
that previously evaporated are condensing, but other water molecules are evaporating.

There are many other examples of condensation that you may have observed. Condensation
is responsible for ground-level fog that we see on some cold days or along the highway
leading to Baguio, for your eye glasses fogging up when you go from an air-conditioned room
7
or vehicle to the outdoors on a hot day, and for the water that collects on the outside of your
glass of cold drink.

As the water is heated and the temperature of the water rises, the molecules gain more kinetic
energy and they move faster. More molecules therefore have the energy to overcome the forces
of attraction of the adjacent molecules. These molecules escape to the gaseous phase. This is
evaporation.
. Where did these droplets come from? The molecules that escape from the liquid and go into
the gaseous phase is called vapor and in this case, water vapor. The water vapor rises and
some molecules touch the glass. The glass is cooler than the boiling water so some of the heat
energy of the vapor molecules are transferred to the glass, in effect, cooling the water vapor.
When a gas is cooled, the motion of the particles slows down. If the particles lose enough
energy, their attraction for each other can overcome their motion and cause them to associate
with one another to become a liquid. This process is called condensation.

5.Sublimation- the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through
the liquid phase.
Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without
passing through the liquid state. ... Sublimation has also been used as a generic term to
describe a solid-to-gas transition (sublimation) followed by a gas-to-solid transition
(deposition).

Water vapor turning to frost is an example of deposition.
Deposition -is one you may not know, but this happens when water vapor goes directly
to freezing, like when there is frost on a cold winter morning. An example of sublimation
happens when dry ice turns directly into gas. Gas can also change into a plasma. In order to
do
this, you have to add an enormous amount of energy to the gas in order to free up the electrons
from the atoms.

GUIDE

For the Teacher

Advise the students to read the Reading and Discussion portion before they attempt to
answer the practice exercises. Let the learners go through the parts sequentially to help
them understand the topic easily. The Key Answers are for you to refer during the checking.
Don’t include it in the printing.

For the Learner:

Read thoroughly and understand the Self-Learning Home Task from the first part to the
last part. By doing so, will help you understand better the topic. If you still have enough time,
do it twice for more understanding. You can use a dictionary if you find it hard to
comprehend the science terms. Use a separate sheet for your answers.

For the Parent/Home Tutor:

Assist your child and make sure that he/she reads the Self-Learning Home Task from
the beginning up to end to ensure proper understanding of the concepts. Don’t feed the
answer to your child. Let her/him do it of his own.
