Question

What process is occurring during section "B" of the above graph?

A. condensation
B. melting
C. freezing
D. vaporization

Answer 1

please help, ill give medal

Answer 2

During the B section of the graph, vaporization is occurring because it is not changing temperature, allowing the heat to be absorbed while there is no change happening.. :)

Answer 3

There is a better section for this maybe Earth Science or Chemistry.
If you would repost in one of those, tag me, and close this, I will help with the problem.

Answer 4

thanks

Answer 5

@Jadeishere , @j3nny0rtiz "B" IS NOT VAPORIZATION

Answer 6

What is it? Sorry if I was wrong, I honestly believed it to be right :)

Answer 7

nobody helps in the others sections

Answer 8

OK, for where to post, several mods have said that it's no excuse. Post there. If you get no answer, try to tag someone you know. I volunteered to help.

For the answer, I did not mean to shout, But I wanted to get your attention before you submitted an answer.

Let's think the chart through. At the far left, something (probably frozen water, but no telling yet) is very cold. Moving left, you add heat and the something gets warmer.
If the temperature changes when you add heat, it means there is not a state change going on. So A is either a solid heating up or a liquid heating up or a vapor heating up.

Answer 9

its says its not correct.. so letter it its wrong :(

Answer 10

I'm thinking I could be letter c

Answer 11

Then, at B, the added heat starts doing something besides changing heat. It is either turning a solid into a liquid, or turning a liquid into a gas. Liquid to gas is 'vaporization', so that was a good guess. But there is another change at "D", even warmer. so I think D is vaporization and B is solid-to-liquid.

Does that work?

Answer 12

so its B

Answer 13

I guess. Too lazy to go back to the top of the page, when I figure you are smart enough to know that solid-to-liquid is melting, and that you are a good enough reader to see that B was "melting"
