Answer:
Explanation:
The melting point of the solid is 80°C
Vapor point of the liquid is 140°C
What happens to particles of X when heated from 70°C to 85°C?
- Firstly, there would be a phase change from solid to liquid.
- Below the melting point, a substance will exist as a solid.
- With increase in thermal energy inputted by heat, as the temperature climbs above the melting point, it changes to the liquid.
- When the solid begins to heat up, the particles of X starts vibrating about their fixed point.
- At they melting point, they break lose and flow to form a liquid.
- The particles will have more kinetic energy.
