Explain three states and change in states for matter.
Matter normally exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
A transition from one of these states to another is called a change of state.
Two common changes of states are solid to liquid and liquid to gas (and vice versa).
These changes can occur when the exchange of heat takes place between the substance and its surroundings.
A block of ice at $-12^{\circ} C$ is slowly heated and converted into steam at $100^{\circ} C$. Which of the following curves best represents the event?
The latent heat of vaporization of a substance is always
When the pressure on water is increased the boiling temperature of water as compared to $100°C$ will be
The portion $AB$ of the indicator diagram representing the state of matter denotes
A solid substance is at $30°C$. To this substance heat energy is supplied at a constant rate. Then temperature versus time graph is as shown in the figure. The substance is in liquid state for the portion (of the graph)
