What shape heating and cooling curves suppose to have?

Solutions

Expert Solution

A heating curve starts from a theoretical absolute zero and goes up in a diagonal line. It goes up as temperature increases and right as time passes. When it starts it is at bose-einstein condensate heats up to become a solid and reaches melting point. At this point, the curve levels out. The temperature of the solid is not increasing rather staying the same even if heat is being provided. That is because it is melting. When all of the solid mass has melted its temperature will again start to rise. The temperature will continue to rise until it reaches boiling point. At this point, the curve will again level out and will stay like that until all of the liquid has been melted. After melting is complete, the temperature will again start to rise and if heated enough the gas/ gaseous substance will turn to plasma

For cooling curve just reflect the graph, it 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.

Tempered glass is made by heating glass to a temperature to 620 ºC, then cooling it quickly by spraying the surface in a procedure known as quenching. Quenching cools the outer surfaces more quickly than the center. As the center cools, it tries to pull back from the outer surfaces, which results in tension of the center and compression of the surfaces, which gives tempered glass its strength. The specific heat capacity of glass is 0.84 J/g ºC. A 23.6...
