6.5 Phase Diagrams: IMFs at work Flashcards
Pressure (P)
the ratio of a force to the surface area over which the force is applied
standard atmosphere (atm)
the avg pressure at sea level on earth (Pascals)
liquid to gas
vaporization and endothermic
gas to liquid
condensation and exothermic
liquid to solid
freezing and exothermic
solid to liquid
melting and endothermic
solid to gas
sublimation and endothermic
gas to solid
deposition and exothermic
negative solid/liquid slope
liquid is more dense than solid (ex: water)
triple point
the temp and pressure omar which all three phases of a substance coexist
critical point
a specific temp and pressure at which the liquid and gas phases have the same density and are indistinguishable from eachother
supercritical fluid
a substance in a state that is above the temp and pressure at the critical point, at which the liquid and vapor phases are indistinguishable
