Freezing

19
Q

The process of a solid transforming into a gas

A

Sublimation

20
Q

The process of a gas transforming into a solid

A

Deposition

21
Q

Gibbs Free Energy, how to tell when its spon or non-spon

A

G > 0 = non-spon

G < 0 = spon

22
Q

Gibbs free energy equation

A

G= H - TS
H=enthalpy
T= temperature
S= entropy

23
Q

How is enthalpy and entropy changed when turning a solid into a liquid or liquid into gas?

A

Add heat, +H

+S

24
Q

Is an increase or decrease in entropy (S) and enthalpy (H) thermodynamically favored?

A

Increase S because it contributes to a more negative G

Decrease H

25
Q

Are high or low temps favored for turning a solid into a liquid or liquid into gas?

A

high

low for vise versa

26
Q

Phase Diagram

A

Look one up and talk about relation between phases
