Recall each element's boiling points to two decimal places.

1
Q

Give the boiling point.

(Values rounded to 4sf)

A

−252.9°C

−423.2°F ; 20.27 K

The boiling point is the temperature at which the surrounding pressure exerted on the liquid is equal to the opposing pressure exerted by the vapour pressure of the liquid.

Give the boiling point.

(Values rounded to 4sf)

A

1342°C

2448°F ; 1615 K

Applying heat to a liquid will increase its temperature right up to its boiling point.

Once this is reached, additional heat will not change the temperature but instead go into providing energy to overcome the forces of attraction between the liquid particles, allowing it to transition to the gas phase.

Extra for Experts: phase diagrams are charts used to depict the conditions (pressure and temperature mostly) at which thermodynamically distinct phases (i.e. solid, liquid, gas) occur or exist at equilibrium with each other.

The boiling point would be represented by the boundary line between liquid and gas at a given temperature and pressure.

Extra for Experts: the critical point on a phase diagram represents a temperature and pressure value at which the liquid and gaseous phases merge together to form a single phase.

This is found towards the top-right of a traditional phase diagram, and represents supercritical fluids.

Note there are theoretical values for melting and boiling points of carbon, however, in real life contexts, carbon actually sublimes (goes from solid to gas, skipping the liquid phase).

Extra for Experts: only solids and gases exist in space because the pressure is zero and any liquid exposed would immediately boil or freeze.

Remember that pressure affects boiling points, as the vapour pressure of the liquid is at equilibrium with the surrounding pressure – liquids cannot stably exist in a zero-pressure environment (i.e. a vacuum).

The heat of vaporisation (enthalpy of vaporisation) is the energy absorbed by a unit mass of a particular liquid once it’s reached its boiling point in order for it to convert fully into a gas, without a change in its temperature.

This also goes in the opposite direction, with it representing the amount of energy needed to be released for the substance to liquify again.

Extra for Experts: only solids and gases exist in space because the pressure is zero and any liquid exposed would immediately boil or freeze.

Remember that pressure affects boiling points, as the vapour pressure of the liquid is at equilibrium with the surrounding pressure – liquids cannot stably exist in a zero-pressure environment (i.e. a vacuum).

The (latent) heat of vaporisation, or enthalpy of vaporisation, is the energy absorbed by a unit mass of a particular liquid once it’s reached its boiling point in order for it to convert fully into a gas, without a change in its temperature.

This also goes in the opposite direction, with it representing the amount of energy needed to be released for the substance to liquify again (heat of condensation).
