What is the melting point of Iron?

1500 Degrees Celsius

300
Gas have _________ shape and __________ volume.
– no definite and no definite
300
If volume is held constant and temperature increases, what else happens?
.-pressure increases.
300
Explain what it means if a graph shows that two factors are directly proportional. Give an example.
as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.
300
When a solid melts into a liquid, or a liquid goes into a gas, it needs to have gained enough __________
- thermal energy.
300

What is the freezing point of the substance?

5 degrees Celsius

400
Describe the difference between a crystalline solid and an amorphous solid
crystalline have particles in a regular repeating pattern and a definite melting point, whereas amorphous solids have no regular pattern and distinct melting point
400
What does Boyle’s law say? When graphing, what type of relationship does it have?
if T is constant, as pressure increases, volume decreases. They are inversely proportional
400

Explain what it means if a graph shows that two factors vary inversely. Give an example.

as one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

400
Explain what condensation is.
– when a gas loses energy to become a liquid
400

What number represents the vaporization of the liquid?

4

What does Charles’ law say? When graphing, what type of relationship does it show?

a. If P increases at constant T, then volume decreases. Inversely proportional

b. If T increases at constant P, then volume increases. Directly proportional

b. If T increases at constant P, then volume increases. Directly proportional



500

If we increase the temperature in a container of gas, what happens to the pressure? Why?

the pressure will increase because the atoms will be moving faster as they gain more energy

500
