liquid
Term
Condensation is a ____________ process.
Definition
warming
Term
At the same relative humidity, there is more ________ ________ in warm air than in cold air.
Definition

Term
______________ and _________ form when air cools and is unable to contain as much water vapor.
Definition
Clouds
fog
Term
What happens to a liquid’s volume when evaporation and condensation occur at the same rate?
Definition
No change
Term
A liquid is in equilibrium when the surrounding air is ____________ with its vapor.
Definition
saturated
Term
Water evaporates much faster than it condenses in:
A.) dry air
B.) humid air
Definition
dry air
Term
A liquid can change phase at/below/at and below the surface.
Definition
at and below, during boiling, a liquid changes phase at any place within the liquid and gas bubbles form.
Term
______________at a liquids surface affects its boiling temperature.
Definition
Pressure
Term
Boiling is a cooling _______________.
Definition
process
Term
During freezing, a liquid changes phase and becomes a ______________
Definition
solid
Term
You can ______________ the freezing temperature of a liquid by adding other substances to it.
Definition
decrease
Term
During phase changes energy is/is not given off.
Definition
is
Term
The temperature of a substance does/does not change drastically when it changes phase.
Definition
does not
Term
At which phase change is more energy given off:
A.) water vapor → water
B.) water → ice
Definition
Much more energy is given off when water vapor condenses into water.
Term
Name the three common phases of matter and the phase of matter in space.
Definition
Solid, liquid, gas, plasma
Term
A change of phase from liquid to gas that takes place at the surface of a liquid is ______.
Definition
Evaporation
Term
Why is evaporation and boiling considered “cooling” processes?
Definition
The average KE of the molecules remaining is lower.
Term
Why is “condensation,” considered a warming process?
Definition
Kinetic energy lost by condensing gas molecules warms the surface they strike.
Term
What does relative humidity indicate?
Definition
How much water vapor is in the air that the air can hold at a certain temperature.
Term
What do we mean when we say air is “saturated”?
Definition
The air contains as much water vapor as it can at that temperature.
Term
The changing of a gas to a liquid is called _____________________.
Definition
condensation
Term
When evaporation and condensation occur at the same rate the liquid is in ____________________________________
Definition
equilibrium
Term
The change of phase from liquid to gas that occurs beneath the surface in the liquid is called ______________________________________
Definition
boiling
Term
The change in phase from liquid to solid is called ______________________
Definition
freezing
Term
Melting of water under pressure, removing the pressure and reformation of ice is called __________________________________
Definition
regelation
Term
Why does it protect your finger to wet it before you put it on a hot iron?
Definition
The energy goes into changing the phase of the liquid rather than vaporizing your finger.
