Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:
  • Articulate the solid, liquid, and gas states by examining particle interactions and bonding energies. 
  • Describe and provide explanations for the characteristics of a phase transition.
  • Interpret a phase diagram comprehensively, elucidating the significance of each region.
  • Analyze a heating curve for a given substance and provide a detailed explanation.
  • Differentiate between a heating curve and a phase diagram, as well as discern the distinctions between specific heat and latent heat.
  • Comprehend the fundamental steps involved in conducting a distillation.
  • Discriminate between the physical and chemical properties of matter, categorizing changes in matter as either physical or chemical.
  • Identify and name the primary phase changes, including boiling, evaporation, freezing, melting, and sublimation.
