Study Notes
Changes of State
- Matter can change from one state to another when thermal energy is released or absorbed.
- Changes of state involve the absorption or release of thermal energy.
Melting and Freezing
- Freezing: a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point.
- Melting: a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid, occurring when the internal energy of the solid increases.
Deposition and Sublimation
- Deposition: a thermodynamic process in which gas transforms into solid without passing through the liquid phase.
- Sublimation: the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.
- Deposition is the reverse of sublimation, and sometimes deposition is called desublimation.
Examples of Deposition
- Water vapor changing directly to ice without first becoming a liquid, resulting in snow formation in clouds, frost, and hoar frost on surfaces.
Vaporization and Condensation
- Vaporization: a phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor.
- Condensation: the change of the physical state of matter from gas phase into liquid phase, and is the reverse of vaporization.
Vapor Pressure
- Liquids continuously vaporize, building up a partial pressure of the vapor state in a closed vessel.
- Vapor pressure of a liquid is the partial pressure of the vapor over the liquid, measured at equilibrium at a given temperature.
