Phase ChangesAnswer KeyVocabulary:altitude, boil, boiling point, freeze, freezing point, gas, liquid, melt, melting point,phase, solidPrior Knowledge Questions (Dothese BEFORE using theGizmo.)/Atote:The purpose of these questions is to activate prior knowledge and get students thinking.Students are not expected to know the answers to the Prior Knowledge Questions.]Marla wants a hard-boiled egg for breakfast. The recipe says boil water, then lower the heat sothe water is simmering. But Marla is in a rush, so she keeps the heat on high as the egg cooks.Do you think the egg will be done faster if the heat is kept on high as the water boils?Answers vw// vary[Correct answer is no.]Explain your answer. Bcp/anations vw// vary.[The boiling temperature of water is constant, s othe egg will take the same amount of time to cook no matter what the burner is set to.]GizmoWarm-upInthePhase ChangesGizmo, selectMicro view.Noticethe nitrogen (*?»), oxygen ($), and water ( P ) molecules.Tostart, create ice. Set Add/removeheat energyto -200J/s, click Play (* ), and then clickPause () when thecontainerisabout half ice,halfwater. SetAdd/removeheat energyback to0J/s, and then clickPlay.1.Observe water molecules in thesolid(ice),liquid(water), and gas (air) phases.A. In which phase(s) do molecules move freely? Gas anOquidB. Inwhichphase(s) are molecules held together?SolidC. What do you notice about the positions of the ice molecules? They form hexagons.When frozen, water molecules form a hexagon (six-sided shape) pattern.2.Click Reset {s ):and select Macro view. Set the Ice volume to 25 c m3.A. In which phase(s) is water held in a defined shape? SofidB. Inwhich phase(s) does the water take the shape of the container? L/qutd and gas

Activity A:Phase changesGet the Gizmo ready:Click Reset ( o ) and select Macro view.Set the Water temperature to 10 “C.Set the Ice volume to 0 cm3.;JIQuestion: How i s temperature related to phase changes?1.Predict: Based on your prior knowledge, predict the following: Precficfrcvis vwflvary.A. At what temperature will water change from a liquid to a solid (freeze)?B. At what temperature will water change from a solid to a liquid (melt)?C. At what temperature will water change from a liquid to a gas (boil)?2.Investigate: Use the Gizmo to explore phase changes. Use the Addfremove heat energyslider to control the water temperature. Record your observations in your notes, then answerthe questions below:A. At what temperature does water freeze? 0 °CB. At what temperature does ice melt? 0 °CC. At what temperature does water boil? JOO °CThis is the freezing pointThis is the melting point.This is the boiling point3.Observe: Set up the Gizmo to observe freezing. What do you notice about the temperaturewhile the water is in the process of freezing? The temperatureremains constant.4.Explore: Use the Gizmo to investigate melting and boiling. Does the temperature changewhile either of these phase changes is occurring? Vo, thetemperature is constant.5.Interpret: Select the GRAPH tab to see a graph of temperature vs. time. Click thebuttonuntil the whole graph is visible. What does the graph look like during a phase change?During the phase changes, the graph showsa flattine.6.Extend your thinking: Why do you think the temperature does not change much during aphase change? If possible, discuss your answer with your classmates and teacher.Answers wifl vary.[During melting or boiling, heat energy is used to break the intermofecularforces (intermofecufar bond) between molecules rather than speed them up. Duringfreezing, heat energy is released by the formation of intermofecufar bonds betweenmolecules.]
