Introductory Message
Welcome to General Chemistry 2!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Cadiz and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through
the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to
guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in helping the
learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The General Chemistry 2 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the leaching-
learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC)
with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be
made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent
learning.

For the learner:

The General Chemistry 2 Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue

learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with
meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner,
carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer
the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Heating and Cooling Curve

I. Learning Competency with Code

Determine and explain the heating and cooling curve of a substance

(STEM_GC11IMFIIIa-c-109)

II. Background Information for Learners

Have you ever think about what kind of cup to use to keep your coffee hot
throughout the day? What type of lid would you consider to use to cover the
container? To determine the efficacy of the materials that prevent the liquid within
the container from losing heat, you can compare the cooling curve of water in different
types of containers to see the length of time that water loses its heat.
A change of state can be brought about by putting heat into a system or
removing it from the system.
The temperature of a system will not change as long as the substance is
undergoing a change from solid to liquid or liquid to gas, and vice versa.
In this learning activity, you will learn how to determine and explain the heating
and cooling curves of a substance.

III. Activity Proper

Activity 1

Before you begin to look at an example of heating or cooling curve, start by

thinking about what a heating or cooling curve is. A heating curve is a graph that
displays the changes that occur when heat is added to a substance; a good example
would be melting ice. A cooling curve is the opposite of a heating curve. It shows the
effect that a decreasing temperature has on a substance. A practical example of this
process would be freezing water into ice.

A heating curve (Figure 1) graphically represents the phase transitions that a

substance undergoes as heat is added to it. The plateaus on the curve mark the phase
changes. The temperature remains constant during these phase transitions.

A cooling curve (Figure 2) is a line graph that represents the change of phase
of matter, typically from a gas to a solid or a liquid to a solid. The independent variable
(X-axis) is time and the dependent variable (Y-axis) is temperature.

Heating curves show how the temperature changes as a substance is heated.

Cooling curves are the opposite. They show how the temperature changes as a

1
substance is cooled down. Just like heating curves, cooling curves have horizontal flat
parts where the state changes from gas to liquid, or from liquid to solid.

All of the changes of state that occur between solid, liquid and gas are
summarized in the diagram as shown in the figures below. Freezing is the opposite of
melting and both represent the equilibrium between the solid and liquid states.
Evaporation occurs when a liquid turns to a gas. Condensation is the opposite of
vaporization and both represent the equilibrium between the liquid and gas states.
Deposition is the opposite of sublimation and both represent the equilibrium
between the solid and gas states.

Figure 1. Shows the heating curve of a substance.

Figure 2. Shows the cooling curve of a substance.

Activity 2

Individual substances have individual melting points and boiling points, but the
shapes of their heating curves closely resemble. For example, this is the heating
curve for iron, a metal that melts at 1538°C and boils at 2861°C.

Heating curves show how the temperature changes as a substance is heated.

Cooling curves are the opposite. They show how the temperature changes as a
substance is cooled down. Just like heating curves, cooling curves have horizontal
flat parts where the state changes from gas to liquid, or from liquid to solid.

Activity 2
1. Vaporization, condensation
2. The temperature at points D and E remains constant because vaporization is
another heating process the heat we add at 2861 degree Celsius is used to
convert liquid iron into steam or vapor and the temperature remains constant
until all the liquid iron is converted to steam or vapor.
3. 1538 degree Celsius
4. Liquid iron are now turning into steam or vapor.
5. At points B and C iron is in the solid and liquid state.
6. Iron is in the melting phase.
7. 15000C
8. The temperature at B and C remains constant because melting is another
heating process the heat we add at 0 degree Celsius is used to convert iron to
liquid iron and the temperature remains constant until the iron melts.
9. Iron has the strongest intermolecular forces than water. Higher boiling points
indicates strong intermolecular forces.
10. Pure iron is too soft and reactive to be of much real use, so most of the "iron" we
tend to use for everyday purposes is actually in the form of iron alloys: iron
Activity 1
mixed with other elements (especially carbon) to make stronger, more resilient
forms of the metal including steel.
1. Heat energy is directly proportional to Temperature as heat energy increases temperature
increases.
2. At temperature A cooling of a substance occur. Cooling is removal of heat, usually resulting
in a lower temperature and/or phase change. Temperature lowering achieved by any other
means may also be called cooling.
3. At temperature B heating of a substance occur. Heating is adding of heat, usually resulting
in a higher temperature and/or phase change. Temperature increasing achieved by any other
means may also be called heating.
