Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Term evaporation should be defined.
Concept Introduction :
Evaporation is a change of substance into gas phase from the liquid phase.
(b)
Interpretation:
Term condensation should be defined.
Concept Introduction :
Condensation is a change of substance from gas phase to liquid phase.
(c)
Interpretation:
Term sublimation should be defined.
Concept Introduction :
Sublimation is a change of substance from solid phase to gas phase directly and without going through liquid phase.
(d)
Interpretation:
Term boiling should be defined.
Concept Introduction :
Boiling point is a temperature at which a liquid starts converting into gas.
(e)
Interpretation:
Term melting should be defined.
Concept Introduction :
Melting is the process of change of the phase of a substance from solid to liquid.
(f)
Interpretation:
Term enthalpy of vaporization should be defined.
Concept Introduction : Enthalpy is referred to as the amount of heat present in a particular
(g)
Interpretation:
Term enthalpy of fusion should be defined.
Concept Introduction : Enthalpy is referred to as the amount of heat present in a particular thermodynamic system.

Chemical Principles
- Explain why evaporation leads to cooling of the liquid.arrow_forwardHeat is added to ice at 0 C. Explain why the temperature of the ice does not change. What does change?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
- Consider the following data for xenon: Triple point: 121C, 280 torr Normal melting point: 112C Normal boiling point: 107C Which is more dense, Xe(s) or Xe(l)? How do the melting point and boiling point of xenon depend on pressure?arrow_forwardWhat types of liquids typically form amorphous solids?arrow_forwardUse the kinetic molecular theory to explain why a liquid gets cooler as it evaporates from an insulated container.arrow_forward
- How do ionic solids differ in structure from molecular solids? What are the fundamental panicles in each? Give two examples of each type of solid and indicate the individual particles that make up the solids in each of your examples.arrow_forwardAs it cools, olive oil slowly solidifies and forms a solid over a range of temperatures. Which best describes the solid? (a) ionic (b) covalent network (c) metallic (d) amorphous (e) molecular crystalsarrow_forwardWhy do liquids have a vapor pressure? Do all liquids have vapor pressures? Explain. Do solids exhibit vapor pressure? Explain. How does vapor pressure change with changing temperature? Explain.arrow_forward
