Instructions:
Read the text below and answer the given questions.
PHASE CHANGES THAT REQUIRE ENERGY: Melting, Vaporization and Sublimation
There are three phase changes that require energy namely: Melting, Vaporization and
Sublimation.
The arrangement of particles in each phase changes differ due to varying absorption of
temperature.

Melting
A process that turns liquid into a gaseous state is called melting. For
example, when you place a piece of ice in a glass of water, does it melt? You might
be wondering why. It is because of the temperature of water and ice. Water has a
higher temperature compared to ice. The heat from an object at a higher
temperature, which is the water, transfers to an object of a lower temperature,
which is the ice.

When the ice absorbs heat, it breaks the hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules in
the ice crystals. Specifically, when the molecules of the ice absorb enough energy causing the
hydrogen bonds to break, they move away from each other and enter a liquid state.

Vaporization
From the example above, when all of the ice melted there will be an
addition of energy added to the system causing the liquid molecules to increase
their kinetic energy. All the particles of liquid that escape enter the gas phase.
This process of changing liquid into gas or vapor is called vaporization. A type
of vaporization that occurs only on the surface of a liquid is called evaporation.

Water vapour accumulates on top or just above the liquid and exerts
pressure on the surface of the liquid. The process of exerting pressure by the
vapour on a liquid surface is called vapor pressure. The temperature at which
the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure is called
boiling point. At this specific point, the molecules of the liquid have sufficient
energy to vaporize.

 PILOT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MATATAG K TO 10 CURRICULUM

Sublimation
Another phase change that requires energy is sublimation. This
process is the transition of a substance directly from a solid phase to vapor or
gas phase. Sublimation process can be observed in solid iodine, moth balls
that contain naphthalene and solid carbon dioxide also known as dry ice
where all of them change directly from solid to vapor.
A change or increase in temperature when there is a change of matter
is not observed. This is because, when a substance goes through a change of
state or phase, when it is heated, the particles of that substance absorb the
heat. This process is called the latent heat because the temperature does not
increase or rise at all.
This is the same with the latent heat of vaporization or evaporation. The heat that has to be
given to a unit mass of material to convert it from the liquid to the vapor phase without a change
in temperature.

Answer the following questions:

a. What are the three phase changes that require energy?
b. What is/are the main factor/s that affects the occurrence of these three phase
changes?
c. How do these phase changes differ from one another? Give other examples that

Read the text below and in your notebook, answer the given question. After the given time
allotment, share your answer to the class.

Melting is evident not only in our homes and schools. In fact, it could bring a devastating
effect to human kind all over the world as a result of human activities.
One of the major problems that Earth is facing right now is the rapid melting of glaciers (a
massive ice) that threatens the ecosystems including all living organisms worldwide.
Some of the consequences of this phenomenon are rising sea levels causing coastal erosion
and warming air causing elevated storm surge. More intense coastal storms like typhoons and
hurricanes are created because of ocean temperature.
a. What do you think is/are the cause/s of rapid melting of glaciers?
b. What human activities could contribute to this phenomenon?
c. How do human activities affect this phenomenon (melting of glaciers)?

suggest as a solution to the problem?

PHASE CHANGES THAT RELEASE ENERGY: Condensation, Freezing and Deposition

There are three phase changes that require energy namely: Condensation, Freezing and
Deposition.
The arrangement of particles in each “phase change” differs due to varying level of energy released.

Condensation
The velocity of water molecules is reduced when there is loss of energy. The vapor molecules
likely interact and form a hydrogen bond when it collides with another water molecule. The
formation of hydrogen bonds leads to the transition from the vapor phase to liquid phase.
Liquid molecules have high density compared to vapor molecules. A change of
phase from gas or vapor phase to liquid phase is called condensation.
Condensation is the reverse process of vaporization. The energy is released when
hydrogen bonds form in liquid water.
The condensation of water vapor involves the transfer of energy. These are
some scenarios in which you can observe condensation:
● Formation of dew on the leaves of the grass. It is possible to form a liquid
droplet or dew because of the water vapor that condenses on the leaves of the
grass.
● Clouds in the sky are made up of water droplets. When these drops of water
increase in size, they become heavy and fall to the ground as rain.
Freezing

You put a plastic filled with water in the freezer. The heat will
eventually be removed from the water resulting in molecules losing
their kinetic energy. It decreases the velocity of molecules. When the
energy that was removed is enough, the hydrogen bonds between
molecules of water will keep molecules fixed or frozen into a set
position. Freezing is the process of turning liquid into solid. The
freezing process is the reverse process of melting. The temperature at
which liquid changes into crystalline solid is called freezing point.

 PILOT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MATATAG K TO 10 CURRICULUM

Deposition
It is the process of turning directly the vapor or gas into solid without
changing into liquid state. It is the reverse process of sublimation.
Snowflakes are an example of deposition. It happens when the water
vapor in the air changes directly into solid ice crystals. The formation of
ice crystals is the result of depositions’ releasing of energy in the
environment or surrounding.
Answer the following questions:
Q1. What are the three phase changes that release energy?
Q2. How do these phase changes differ from one another?
Q3. In any of the three phase changes, what other examples can you give that are familiar to
you or that you observe in your surroundings? Support you answer.
