Study Notes
Change of States
Melting
- Definition: The process of changing from a solid to a liquid state
- Occurs when the temperature of a substance increases to its melting point
- Energy is absorbed during melting, increasing the kinetic energy of particles
- Example: Ice (solid) → Water (liquid)
Boiling
- Definition: The process of changing from a liquid to a gas state
- Occurs when the temperature of a substance increases to its boiling point
- Energy is absorbed during boiling, increasing the kinetic energy of particles
- Example: Water (liquid) → Water Vapor (gas)
Freezing
- Definition: The process of changing from a liquid to a solid state
- Occurs when the temperature of a substance decreases to its freezing point
- Energy is released during freezing, decreasing the kinetic energy of particles
- Example: Water (liquid) → Ice (solid)
Condensation
- Definition: The process of changing from a gas to a liquid state
- Occurs when the temperature of a substance decreases to its dew point
- Energy is released during condensation, decreasing the kinetic energy of particles
- Example: Water Vapor (gas) → Water (liquid)
Sublimation
- Definition: The process of changing from a solid to a gas state without going through the liquid phase
- Occurs when the intermolecular forces between particles are weak
- Energy is absorbed during sublimation, increasing the kinetic energy of particles
- Example: Dry Ice (solid) → Carbon Dioxide (gas)
Change of States
Melting
- Melting is the process of changing from a solid to a liquid state.
- Occurs when the temperature of a substance increases to its melting point.
- Energy is absorbed during melting, increasing the kinetic energy of particles.
- For example, ice (solid) changes to water (liquid) when it melts.
Boiling
- Boiling is the process of changing from a liquid to a gas state.
- Occurs when the temperature of a substance increases to its boiling point.
- Energy is absorbed during boiling, increasing the kinetic energy of particles.
- For example, water (liquid) changes to water vapor (gas) when it boils.
Freezing
- Freezing is the process of changing from a liquid to a solid state.
- Occurs when the temperature of a substance decreases to its freezing point.
- Energy is released during freezing, decreasing the kinetic energy of particles.
- For example, water (liquid) changes to ice (solid) when it freezes.
Condensation
- Condensation is the process of changing from a gas to a liquid state.
- Occurs when the temperature of a substance decreases to its dew point.
- Energy is released during condensation, decreasing the kinetic energy of particles.
- For example, water vapor (gas) changes to water (liquid) when it condenses.
Sublimation
- Sublimation is the process of changing from a solid to a gas state without going through the liquid phase.
- Occurs when the intermolecular forces between particles are weak.
- Energy is absorbed during sublimation, increasing the kinetic energy of particles.
- For example, dry ice (solid) changes to carbon dioxide (gas) when it sublimates.
Latent Heat
- Latent heat is the energy required to change the state of a substance (e.g., from liquid to gas) without a change in temperature.
Importance of Latent Heat in Boiling
- Latent heat allows for the conversion of liquid to vapor without a change in temperature during boiling.
- Latent heat of vaporization is absorbed by the liquid, enabling molecules to break free from the surface tension and turn into vapor.
Characteristics of Latent Heat
- Latent heat is a state function, depending only on the initial and final states of the system, not the path taken to get there.
- Latent heat of vaporization is typically higher than the latent heat of fusion (melting).
Factors Affecting Latent Heat
- Temperature: Latent heat increases with increasing temperature.
- Pressure: Latent heat decreases with increasing pressure.
- Surface tension: Latent heat is affected by the surface tension of the liquid.
Kinetic Theory Perspective on Boiling and Latent Heat
- Boiling is viewed as a process driven by the kinetic energy of molecules, where molecules gain enough energy to overcome the attractive forces and turn into vapor.
- Latent heat is the energy required to overcome these attractive forces, allowing molecules to escape the surface tension and turn into vapor.
