PRELIM 02 - States of Matter Flashcards
Total heat lost or gained in the conversion involving solid and liquid by 1 mole of substance
Molar heat of fusion
2 heat processes
Endothermic, Exothermic
Refers to when heat is absorbed
Endothermic
Refers to when heat is released
Exothermic
Term used to describe the total heat content of a particular system
Enthalpy
Term used to describe the molecular randomness/disorderliness of a particular system
Entropy
Total heat required for the conversion involving liquid and gas by 1 mole of liquid substance
Molar heat of vaporization
Graphs that relate pressure and temperature to the state of matter
Phase diagrams
Other name for phase diagrams
Temperature-composition diagram
Rule that determines the relationship for the least number of intensive variables
Gibb’s phase rule
A homogenous part of the system, physically separated by distinct boundaries
Phase
Composition (one, two, or three components)
Component
Do not depend on the amount of matter present of the phases
Independent variables
The number of independent parameters that define its configuration
Degrees of freedom
No pressure is involved; vapor phase is ignored
Condensed system
Pressure is considered; involves gas
Noncondensed system
Originates from measurements using a barometer
