Which of the following statements regarding heating curves is incorrect? Select one: Oa. When a substance undergoes a phase change, there is no energy change because the temperature is constant. Ob. A heating curve tracks the temperature of a system as it is heated at a constant rate. Oc. If a cooling curve were to be made, the amounts of energy would be equal to those in a heating curve but opposite in sign. Od. At phase transitions, there is no change in temperature of the substance.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
