Solid Nitrogen is melted. The temperature of the sample increases quickly at first, then slows down, then quickly again. Explain why this is.

Answer explanation

In the beginning, the temperature of the solid increases. When it reaches the melting point, the solid undergoes a phase change. During the phase change the kinetic energy is used to break the bonds, rather than raising the temperature. Once the bonds are broken, the temperature increases again.

The table shows the normal boiling points of 5 compounds. Which compound has the strongest intermolecular forces?

• Water

• Butane

• Propane

• Pentane

• Methane

Tags
