Concept explainers
Interpretation: The critical temperature and critical pressure needs to be defined with appropriate reason due to which it is impossible for a substance to exist as a liquid above its critical temperature.
Concept Introduction:
The three states of matter; solid, liquid and gases can convert into each other by the application of pressure and temperature. The conversion of
The phase diagram is used to interpret the change in all these three states of matter with their conversion with pressure and temperature.

- Describe the behavior of a liquid and its vapor in a closed vessel as the temperature increases.arrow_forwardIn terms of the kinetic molecular theory, in what ways are liquids similar to solids? In what ways are liquids different from solids?arrow_forwardWhat term is used to describe a substance that readily evaporates at room temperature because of a high vapor pressure?arrow_forward
- Define critical temperature and critical pressure. In terms of the kinetic molecular theory, why is it impossible for a substance to exist as a liquid above its critical temperature?arrow_forwardook at Fig. 14.2. Why doesn't temperature increase continuously ever time? That is, why does the temperature stay constanl for periods of time?arrow_forwardHow does the boiling of a liquid differ from its evaporation?arrow_forward
