If the substance is in solid condition and at the melting temperature, heat can be given without rising the temperature. Then the substance melts and all the heat will be used in the melting process.

Also when the substance is at the boiling temperature you can add heat without rising the temperature. At that point the heat is used to vaporate the substance.

How can a matter change from solid state to liquid state and reverse the process?

At a unique temperature, called the "freezing point", for each pure substance at a constant pressure, a solid form of the substance can change from solid to liquid phase by absorbing heat energy from its environment without raising the temperature of the substance, and, at the same temperature and pressure, a liquid phase of the same substance, can solidify without changing its temperature if it can transfer heat energy to the external environment.


The phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first is?

Sublimation is the phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas or vapor without first becoming a liquid. This process occurs when the pressure and temperature conditions allow the solid to transition directly into a gas.


Thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substances temperature to do what?

The temperature of the substance will increase when thermal energy is added without changing state. This is because the thermal energy is causing the particles within the substance to move faster, resulting in an increase in temperature.


Sensible heat involves a change in a substance's?

Sensible heat involves a change in a substance's temperature without a change in its phase. It is the heat exchange that causes a change in the temperature of a substance but does not result in a change of state (solid, liquid, gas).


What property can be observed without changing the identity of matter?

A physical property, such as color, shape, density, or temperature, can be observed without changing the identity of matter. These properties describe the characteristics of a substance and can be measured or observed without altering the substance itself.

How can you add heat to a substance without raising its temperature?

One way to add heat to a substance without raising its temperature is by changing its state of matter. This process, known as phase change, involves adding heat energy to a substance to change it from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas. During this phase change, the temperature of the substance remains constant until the phase change is complete.

How can temperature be increased without heating?

It is possible to add heat to a substance without changing its temperature. That happens during melting and boiling. However, I cannot think of a case in which the temperature of a substance increases without heat being added to it, either by radiation, conduction or convection.


Is Boiling is the maximum temperature a substance can reach?

Boiling is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas. It is not necessarily the maximum temperature a substance can reach, as some substances can be heated to higher temperatures without boiling.


What is the difference between the flash point and autoignition temperature in terms of their significance in determining the flammability of a substance?

The flash point is the temperature at which a substance gives off enough vapor to ignite briefly when exposed to a flame or spark, indicating its flammability. The autoignition temperature is the temperature at which a substance will spontaneously ignite without an external ignition source. The flash point helps determine how easily a substance can catch fire, while the autoignition temperature indicates the temperature at which a substance can ignite on its own, without needing an external flame or spark.

Why is sublimation rare and what are the conditions in which it typically occurs?

Sublimation is rare because it requires specific conditions of temperature and pressure for a substance to change directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. Typically, sublimation occurs at low pressures and temperatures where the substance's vapor pressure exceeds its triple point pressure.


How can you add thermal energy to a substance without increasing is temperature?

You can add thermal energy to a substance without increasing its temperature by changing its phase, such as melting a solid or vaporizing a liquid. During these phase changes, energy is absorbed to break intermolecular bonds rather than increasing the substance's kinetic energy, resulting in no temperature change.


How can you have temperature without heat?

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, while heat is the transfer of energy between substances due to a temperature difference. It is possible to have a substance at a certain temperature without any transfer of heat occurring, for example, when the substance is thermally isolated or in thermal equilibrium.


How do you make a substance without atoms?

At a sufficiently high temperature you get a substance called plasma which contains no atoms; it consists of fragments of atoms.


Thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substances temperature to do what?

The temperature of the substance will increase when thermal energy is added without changing state. This is because the thermal energy is causing the particles within the substance to move faster, resulting in an increase in temperature.
