1. 11.6 NOTES Phase Diagrams

3. IV. Phase Changes
A. Phase changes that require energy Endothermic
1. Melting phase change from a liquid to a solid
- amount of energy to melt one mole of solid depends on the strength of the forces keeping the particles together in the solid
- MP = temp at which solid and liquid phases of a substance coexist;

4. 2. Vaporization process by which a liquid changes to a gas or vapor; phase change from a liquid to a gas
- difference b/t evaporation and BP = evaporation occurs at all temps and only at the surface of the liquid while boiling occurs at a specific temp and pressure and occurs throughout the liquid
body sweat – requires energy to evaporate liquid, when liquid does evaporate it takes (heat) energy with it;

5. Vapor Pressure - pressure exerted by a vapor over a liquid
an increase in temp would increase vapor pressure
vapor – gas phase of a substance that is normally a liquid at room temp; a.k.a. equilibrium vapor pressure
Boiling point - the which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the atmospheric (external) pressure; if walls of container are smooth, temp of liquid may get higher than that of BP, use boiling chip to prevent spattering; vacuum pump demo

6. 3. Sublimation solid directly to gas; I2 and CO2 (solids) sublime @ room temp
- examples – moth balls and solid air freshners;

7. B. Phase changes that release energy Exothermic
1. Condensation process by which gas becomes a liquid
- clouds form when a layers of air high above the Earth’s surface cool
- clouds = small H2O droplets; rain = large droplets

8. 2. Deposition change from gas to solid; snowflakes and frost; H2O(g) to solid;
3. Freezing change from liquid to solid; FP and MP are the same temp;

9. C. Phase diagrams - phase is dependent on temp and pressure
- T and P can have opposite effects on a substance
- i.e. increase temp, cause L G while increase pressure causes G  L

10. - plot of pressure vs. temperature shows in which phase a substance exists under different conditions of temp. and pressure
- any point on the line will represent gas-liquid boundary/solid-liquid boundary/gas-solid boundary
- gas/liquid boundary represents Boiling Point at that pressure
- solid/liquid boundary represents Melting Point at that pressure

11. if line is to the right represents the solid is more dense than the liquid and the MP increases as pressure increases (most substances)
- if line is to the left like water, represents solid is less dense than liquid and MP decreases with pressure
- if start at high P, water will go from liquid to solid to gas; why freeze drying works
- place fresh veggies in freezer  1st water is frozen and then as pressure drops ice quickly sublimes to lock in freshness and taste;

12. Phase diagram for water Phase diagram for carbon dioxide

13. - Triple point point at which all 3 phases occur simultaneously with the 6 phase changes; if in closed system would be very odd looking;
- Critical temperature and pressure point at which no matter how much pressure is applied, gas will not liquefy
- corresponds to pressure as well; lower the critical temp, harder a substance is to liquefy;
