Energy of Phase Changes

Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers phase changes and energy in chemistry, focusing on heating/cooling curves, phase diagrams, and related calculations. It explains heat of fusion and heat of vaporization, provides example problems and solutions, including an AP-style FRQ, and offers exam tips. Key concepts include the triple point and critical point on phase diagrams, and the application of formulas like q=mcΔT. Practice multiple-choice and free-response questions are included with solutions.
