This section of the unit involved lots of graphs. The graphs that show us the supercritical point and when each of the phase changes occur and at what temperature and pressure. This allows us to predict phase changes and at what temperature they will occur and at what pressure. These graphs are called heating/cooling curves.Table of Contents

Energy and Phase Changes Unit Begins!
This unit begins with quite a mathy start. We start with learning about mcΔt, or mcat. This formula is used to figure out how much energy is during a phase change. You can also use the formula -mcΔt = mcΔt, which can be used to determine a missing variable from another equation. Luckily, this appears to be the hardest math in this unit, so hopefully everything else will be easy.
