2. States of Matter and KMT
Kinetic Molecular Theory:
Particles of matter are always in motion
explains properties of solids, liquids, gases

3. Common Characteristics

4. States of Matter – Know the Phase Changes
Fusion
Solidification
Condensation, Sublimation, Evaporation, Deposition, Fusion (melting), Solidification (freezing)

6. solid line - equilibrium between phases, both states exist
Generic Phase Diagram
solid line - equilibrium between phases, both states exist
sea level pressure = normal pressure =
1 atm = 101kPa
Where is the normal MP?
Where is the normal FP?

7. Review Vocabulary
Critical Point: End point of a phase equilibrium curve (liquid/gas line) that designates conditions under which a liquid and its vapor can coexist (their densities are the same, so they are indistinguishable)
Normal melting point: Solid  liquids (melts) at 1.0 atm of pressure
Normal boiling point: Liquid  gas (boils) at 1.0 atm of pressure
Triple point: Solid, liquid, gas phases in equilibrium (all of them exist together at the same time)

8. Be able to evaluate a Phase Diagram
1 atm = 101kPa
Be able to evaluate a Phase Diagram
NORMAL = SEA LEVEL
a.) At which temperature and pressure do you find the normal freezing point of H2O?
b.) At which temperature and pressure do you find the normal boiling point of H2O?
c.) At 200 °C and 0.5 atm, water exists as a: solid, liquid, or gas (vapor).
