3.

In an experiment, a thin copper wire with weights at either end is placed on a supported block of ice. The thin wire is observed to pass through the ice. The experiment shows that an increase in _______.

  pressure causes the freezing point of water to drop below 0o

  specific latent heat causes the freezing point of water to drop below 0o

  pressure causes the freezing point of water to rise above 0o

  Half-n-half Clue
 

4.

When the cooling curve for naphthalene is plotted on a graph of temperature (in oC) vs. time (in minutes), the following three regions are observed:
in the first 2 minutes, the temperature drops from 90oC to 80oC;
in the next 6 minutes, the temperature remains constant at 80oC; and
in the last 4 minutes, the temperature falls from 80oC to 60oC.
