Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The phase change accompanying the molecular art and the process of reaction (exothermic and endothermic) has to be given.

The given diagram is,

Figure 1

Concept introduction:

Endothermic Reactions:

The endothermic process is a term that describes a reaction where the system absorbs the energy from its surrounding in the form of heat.  Few examples of endothermic process is photosynthesis, evaporating liquids, melting ice.

Exothermic reaction:

The exothermic reaction is the opposite of an endothermic reaction.  It releases energy by light or heat to its surrounding.  Few examples are neutralization, burning a substance, reactions of fuels, deposition of dry ice, respiration.

Vaporization:

Vaporization means conversion of a substance from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase.

Explanation of Solution

The given diagram is,

Principles of General, Organic, Biological Chemistry, Chapter 4, Problem 4.29UKC , additional homework tip  2

Figure 1

The change in phase can be identified by the distance between the spheres and the level of organization.  A solid has closely packed spheres that are well organized, a liquid has closely packed but randomly arranged spheres, and a gas has randomly arranged spheres that are farther away from each other.

The diagram 1 represents a liquid and the diagram two represents a gas.  Vaporization is the process of change from liquid to gas.  Thus., the phase change accompanied in the figure 1 is a vaporization process and it is an endothermic process because liquid molecules absorb energy to go from liquid state to gaseous state.

Think about what you already know about different phases of matter. Given this figure showing the process of changing from one phase to another, what parameter (physical quantity of a system) serves as an indicator for energy flowing into or out of the molecular system? Gas Cool or compress Heat or reduce pressure Liquid Cool Heat Crystalline solid In the box below, make a claim as to which parameter is represented in the processes in the figure and use your ideas of energy to support your claim.
排 Solid Liquid Gas If you are changing states of matter from gas --> liquid --> solid, what happens to the energy? O These processes require energy from the surroundings to break attractions between molecules. O These processes release energy to the surroundings to form attractions between molecules. O These processes release energy to the surroundings to break attractions between molecules. These processes require energy from the surroundings to form attractions between molecules.
