57 Describe what happens to both the potential energy and the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the H2O sample during interval AB. [1]
Highlight box to reveal answer
The potential energy remains the same, but the average kinetic energy of the H 2O molecules increases.There is no change in potential energy. There is an increase in the average kinetic energy. |
58 Using the graph, determine the total amount of heat added to the sample during interval CD. [1]
Highlight box to reveal answer
7-9 kJ (8 kJ plus or minus 1) |
59 Explain, in terms of heat of fusion and heat of vaporization, why the heat added during interval DE is greater than the heat added during interval BC for this sample of water. [1]
Highlight box to reveal answer
The heat of vaporization of water is 2260 J/g and the heat of fusion for water is only 334 J/g.The heat of fusion of water is much less than its heat of vaporization |
