About This Quiz

The matter is made up of atoms and it exists in three states, it can ever be gas, solid, or liquid. These states can change due to come chemical processes. How well do you understand the different processes that matter undergoes? Take up the quiz below and see how well you understand the results of boiling, freezing, and condensation when it comes to chemistry. All the best and keep revising on the topic!

    What goes from a gas to a liquid?

    • Condensation

    • Boiling

    • Freezing

    Correct Answer
    A. Condensation
    Explanation
    Condensation is the process by which a gas changes into a liquid. When a gas cools down, its particles lose energy and slow down, causing them to come closer together. As a result, the gas molecules form bonds and become a liquid. This process commonly occurs when warm air comes into contact with a cold surface, such as when water vapor in the air turns into liquid droplets on a cold window. Therefore, condensation is the correct answer to the question.

    What forms a solid to a liquid?

    • Melting

    • Freezing

    • Boiling

    Correct Answer
    A. Melting
    Explanation
    Melting is the process by which a solid substance changes into a liquid state. This occurs when heat is applied to a solid, causing the particles to gain energy and move more rapidly, eventually breaking the bonds that hold them in a fixed position. As a result, the solid structure breaks down, and the substance transitions into a liquid form. Therefore, melting is the correct answer as it accurately describes the transformation from a solid to a liquid.

    What forms a solid to a gas?

    • Sublimation

    • Freezing

    • Condensation

    Correct Answer
    A. Sublimation
    Explanation
    Sublimation is the process in which a solid directly converts into a gas without passing through the liquid state. This occurs when the temperature and pressure conditions are such that the solid's vapor pressure exceeds the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, sublimation is the correct answer as it describes the transformation from a solid to a gas. Freezing is the opposite process, where a liquid changes into a solid, and condensation is the transformation from a gas to a liquid.

    What forms from a liquid to a gas?

    • Vaorization

    • Evaporization

    • Condensation

    Correct Answer
    A. Evaporization
    Explanation
    Evaporization is the process by which a liquid changes into a gas. It occurs when the molecules of a liquid gain enough energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them together, causing them to escape into the surrounding environment as gas. This process is commonly observed when water boils and turns into steam. Condensation, on the other hand, is the opposite process where a gas turns into a liquid. Therefore, the correct answer is evaporization.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Forms a liquid.

    • Condensation

    • Melting

    • Liquefacation

    Correct Answer
    A. Liquefacation
    Explanation
    Liquefaction refers to the process of converting a substance from a solid or gas state into a liquid state. This explanation aligns with the statement "Forms a liquid." Both condensation and melting also involve the transition of a substance into a liquid state, but liquefaction specifically refers to the process of forming a liquid. Therefore, liquefaction is the correct answer in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Forms a gas.

    • Boiling

    • Vaporization

    • Condensation

    Correct Answer
    A. Vaporization
    Explanation
    Vaporization is the process in which a substance changes from a liquid state to a gas state. When a substance undergoes vaporization, its molecules gain enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together in the liquid phase. This results in the formation of a gas. Therefore, vaporization is the correct answer as it accurately describes the process of forming a gas.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What gives off heat?

    • Exothermic

    • Endothermic

    • Sublimation

    Correct Answer
    A. Exothermic
    Explanation
    Exothermic reactions release heat energy to the surroundings. This means that the reactants have more energy stored in their chemical bonds than the products, and the excess energy is released as heat. Examples of exothermic reactions include combustion, such as burning wood or gasoline, and the reaction between an acid and a base. In these reactions, the surroundings become warmer as heat is given off.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Forms a solid.

    • Sublimation

    • Freezing

    • Solidification

    Correct Answer
    A. Solidification
    Explanation
    Solidification refers to the process by which a substance changes from a liquid or gas state to a solid state. This occurs when the substance loses enough heat energy to reduce its kinetic energy, causing the particles to come together and form a stable, organized structure. Therefore, solidification is the correct answer as it accurately describes the process of forming a solid.
