Chapter 1 – Changing States

1. a. Boiling is the changes of a liquid into a gas at its boiling point. The boiling
point of water is 100 ○C
b. Melting is the changes of a solid into a liquid. The melting point of ice is 0 ○C.

2. Evaporation is the change of a liquid into a gas.

Examples: Drying the clothes, perspiration and evaporation of perfume

3. Differences between evaporation and boiling

Evaporation Boiling
at any temperature at the boiling point
at the surface of liquid throughout the liquid
no bubbles are formed bubbles are formed

4. Factors that affects the rate of evaporation are

a. The temperature of the surrounding
b. The presence of wind
c. Surface area

5. Condensation is the change of a gas into a liquid. It is reverse of evaporation.

Examples: Mist on bathroom mirror, spectacles misting up, dewdrops on the
leaves in the morning and white mist forming above boiling water.

6. The differences between condensation and evaporation

Condensation Evaporation
change from a gas to a liquid change from a liquid to a gas
matter loses heat matter gains heat

7. Water cycle is the continuous movement of water from the Earth’s surface to
the air and back to the Earth’s surface. Water cycle is important to provide
living things with a constant supply of fresh water.

Processes of water cycle are the following:

a. Evaporation: water from the ocean, lakes and stream evaporates
transpiration (evaporation) from plant because of the heat energy
from the Sun.
b. Condensation: Water vapour rises up and cools down. It condenses
to form tiny water droplets and make clouds.
c. Precipitation: Tiny water droplets form bigger droplets, then it falls as
rain. It also falls as snow if the temperature is lower.
d. Collection: water lands on Earth and moves across the land, soak into
the Earth or moves underground.
