Evaluating Properties
Substance that has a fixed chemical
composition throughout
Pure Substance
A mixture of various chemical
elements or compounds also
qualifies as a pure substance as long
as the mixture is
Homogeneous
Does not have to be of a single
chemical element or compound.
Pure Substance
Major Components in Dry Air
Nitrogen - 78.08%
Oxygen - 20.95
Argon - 0.93%
Other - 4%
Minor Components in Dry Air (Other 4%)
Carbon Dioxide - 0.033%
Neon - 0.0018%
Helium - 0.0005%
Methane - 0.0002%
Krypton - 0.0001%
Hydrogen - 0.00005%
Xenon - 0.000009%
any mixture that is uniform in
composition throughout.
Homogeneous mixture (solutions)
3 principal phases
Solid, Liquid, Gas
quantity of matter that is
homogeneous throughout in both
chemical composition and physical
structure
Phase
strong intermolecular bond
Solid
intermediate intermolecular bonds
Liquid
weak intermolecular bond
Gas
the temperature and pressure above which there is no distinction between the liquid and vapor phases.
Critical Point
the temperature and pressure at which all three
phases can exist in equilibrium.
Triple Point
change of phase from solid to vapor.
Sublimation
change of phase from liquid to vapor.
Vaporization
change of phase from vapor to liquid.
Condensation
change of phase from solid to liquid.
Fusion or Melting
a point on a phase diagram at which both the liquid and gas phases of a substance have the same density, and are therefore indistinguishable.
Critical Point
condition in which a mixture of vapor
and liquid can exist together at a given
temperature and pressure.
Saturation
