Chapter 7 Phases Flashcards
What type of energy is temperature?
Kinetic
What is the key property of physical changes?
It is not intramolecular change, instead it is an intermolecular change. The molecules do not change such as when ice melts the h20 does not change, instead the bonding between other h20 molecules change.
Name the three phase changes that take an increase in energy.
Fusion(melting) Vaporization(boiling) Sublimation
Fusion is solid to liquid
Vaporization is liquid to gas
Sublimation is solid to gas
Name the three phase changes that release (decrease) energy.
Condensation Crystallization (Freezing) Deposition
Condensation is gas to liquid.
Crystallization is liquid to solid
Deposition is gas to solid
Symbol for heat of transformation?
Delta H
Equation that relates to a phase change
q=n x delta H
n= moles
n can also = m (mass)
Equation for calorimetry phase change
q=(mc)DELTA(T)
c= the specific heat of the substance
When is q=n x (DELTA)H used?
This is used when finding the transition heat.0
Triple point
temp and pressure where all three phases exist at once
critical point
marks the end of the liquid gas boundary, at this point the substance displays properties of both. The phase is no longer distinct.
Supercritical Fluid
The point where the gas and liquid can not be discerned, also located at the critical point on a phase diagram.
