What to Focus On

  • Heat is energy that flows due to a temperature difference.
  • Temperature measures hotness or coldness.
  • During a change of state, temperature may remain constant.
  • Latent heat is absorbed during a change of state without rise in temperature.
  • Fusion means solid to liquid.
  • Vaporization means liquid to gas.
  • Pressure lowers the melting point of ice below 0°C.
  • Ice melts under pressure and refreezes when pressure is removed.
  • The wire-through-ice experiment shows regulation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Heat and temperature mean the same thing.

When ice melts, its temperature must keep rising because heating continues.

Latent heat means heat used to increase temperature without changing state.
