Interpretation:
Matter
(Physical substance in general which occupies space and possesses rest mass)
Solid | Liquid | Gas |
(1) A solid is a sample of matter that retains its shape and density when not confined. (2) Strong molecular force of attraction exist between atoms ions molecules. |
(1) A liquid is a sample of matter that conforms to shape of container in which it is held and which acquires a defined surface in the presence of gravity. (2) Weak molecular force of attraction exists between atoms/ions/molecule. |
(1) A gas is a sample of matter that conforms to the shape of container in which it is placed and acquire whole volume of container. (2) Negligible force of attraction exists between atoms/ion/molecules. |
Concept Introduction:
Physical change: physical change occurs when a substance alters its state , but does not change its chemical composition.
State of matter depends upon temperature and pressure. As temperature or pressure or both change then state of matter may also change.
Phase change: transition of a substance from one state to another state
Phase: it is defined as a homogenous portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristic.
Draw initial temperature and pressure on phase diagram identify the initial phase similarly draw final temperature and pressure on phase diagram identify the final phase. After that you can decide which phase transition occurs.
To determine:
A sample of the substance in this phase diagram is initially at and . Which phase transition occurs when the pressure is decreased to at constant temperature?
Solid to liquid.
Liquid to gas.
Solid to gas.
Liquid to solid.

- Krypton, Kr, has a triple point at 169C and 133 mmHg and a critical point at 63C and 54 atm. The density of the solid is 2.8 g/cm3, and the density of the liquid is 2.4 g/cm3. Sketch a rough phase diagram of krypton. Circle the correct word in each of the following sentences (and explain your answers). a Solid krypton at 130 mmHg (melts, sublimes without melting) when the temperature is raised. b Solid krypton at 760 mmHg (melts, sublimes without melting) when the temperature is raised.arrow_forwardA pure substance X has the following properties: Mp=90C, increasing slightly as pressure increases; normal bp=120C; liquid vp=65mm Hg at 100C, 20 mm Hg at the triple point. (a) Draw a phase diagram for X. (b) Label solid, liquid, and vapor regions of the diagram. (c) What changes occur if, at a constant pressure of 100 mm Hg, the temperature is raised from 100C to 150C?arrow_forwardDescribe the behavior of a liquid and its vapor in a closed vessel as the temperature increases.arrow_forward
- Elemental carbon has one gas phase, one liquid phase, and two different solid phases, as shown in the phase diagram: (a) On the phase diagram, label the gas and liquid regions. (b) Graphite is the most stable phase of carbon at normal conditions. On the phase diagram, label the graphite phase. (c) If graphite at normal conditions is heated to 2500 K while the pressure is increased to 1010 Pa, it is converted into diamond. Label the diamond phase. (d) Circle each triple point on the phase diagram. (e) In what phase does carbon exist at 5000 K and 108 Pa? (f) If the temperature of a sample of carbon increases from 3000 K to 5000 K at a constant pressure of 106 Pa, which phase transition occurs, if any?arrow_forwardSome water is placed in a sealed glass container connected to a vacuum pump (a device used to pump gases from a container), and the pump is turned on. The water appears to boil and then freezes. Explain these changes using the phase diagram for water. What would happen to the ice if the vacuum pump was left on indefinitely?arrow_forwardAn amorphous solid can sometimes be converted to a crystalline solid by a process called annealing. Annealing consists of heating the substance to a temperature just below the melting point of the crystalline form and then cooling it slowly. Explain why this process helps produce a crystalline solid.arrow_forward
- What phase changes will take place when water is subjected to varying pressure at a constant temperature of 0.005 C? At 40 C? At 40 C?arrow_forwardThe phase diagram for water over a relative narrow pressure and temperature range is given in Figure 9.19. A phase diagram over a considerably wider range of temperature and pressure (kbar) is given nearby. This phase diagram illustrates the polymorphism of ice, the existence of a solid in more than one form. In this case, Roman numerals are used to designate each polymorphic form. For example, Ice I, ordinary ice, is the form that exists under ordinary pressures. The other forms exist only at higher pressures, in some cases extremely high pressure such as Ice VII and Ice VIII. Using the phase diagram, give the approximate P and T conditions at the triple point for Ice III, Ice V, and liquid water. Determine the approximate temperature and pressure for the triple point for Ices VI, VII, and VIII. What is anomalously different about the fusion curves for Ice VI and Ice VII compared to that of Ice I? What phases exist at 8 kbar and 20 °C? At a constant temperature of −10 °C, start at 3 kbar and increase the pressure to 7 kbar. Identify all the phase changes that occur sequentially as these conditions change. Explain why there is no triple point for the combination of Ice VII, Ice VIII, and liquid water.arrow_forwardClassify each substance in the table as either a metallic, ionic, molecular, or covalent network solid: Substance Appearance Melting Point Electrical Conductivity Solubility in Water X lustrous, malleable 1500 C high insoluble Y Soft, yellow 113 C None Insoluble Z Hard, white 800 C Only if melted/dissolved solublearrow_forward
