HEATING AND COOLING CURVE
Objectives:
• Define the heating and cooling curve.
• Explain the phases of the heating curve and cooling curve.
• Discuss the energy and behaviour of particles as they change states.

HEATING CURVE
The heating of a solid until it
becomes a liquid can be
expressed graphically. This
type of graph is known as a
HEATING CURVE. A
HEATING CURVE shows how
the changes as a substance is
heated up at a constant rate.
HEATING CURVE
Heating Curve of a substance
HEATING CURVE
SOLID PHASE: When heat is
applied to a solid over a
period of a few minutes,
the temperature of the
solid will increase over
time
HEATING CURVE
HEATING CURVE
SOLID & LIQUID PHASE: As
soon as the solid begins to
melt the temperature
remains constant. This is
called the MELTING POINT.
At the melting point you will
find two states of matter
present – solid and liquid.

LIQUID PHASE: If heat is
continue to be applied to a
liquid, over a period of a few
minutes, the temperature of
the liquid will increase over
time.

LIQUID & GAS PHASE: Then
as soon as the liquid begins
to turn into a gas, the
temperature remains
constant again. This is called
the BOILING POINT. At the
boiling point you find two
states of matter, liquid and
gas.

GAS PHASE: Once all of the
liquid has been converted
into a gas the temperature
will once again begin to rise
COOLING CURVE
A COOLING CURVE shows
how the temperature
changes as a substance is
being cooled at a constant
rate.

GAS PHASE: During this
phase on the cooling curve
heat is being removed over
a period of a few minutes,
the temperature of the gas
will decrease over time.

CONDENSATION PHASE: As
soon as the gas begins to
condense the temperature
remains constant. This is
called the CONDENSATION
POINT. At the condensation
point you will find two states
of matter present – gas and
liquid.

the gas has been converted

will once again begin to fall
or decrease.

FREEZING PHASE: Then as
soon as the liquid begins to
turn into a solid, the
temperature remains
constant again. This is called
the FREEZING POINT. At
the freezing point you find
two states of matter, liquid
and solid.
