    Study Notes

    Real Gases

    • Real gases deviate from ideal gas behavior due to intermolecular forces and finite molecular volume.
    • Real gases are more compressible than ideal gases because attractive forces between the molecules cause them to occupy less volume.

    Latent Heats

    • Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat absorbed when a liquid vaporizes or released when a vapor condenses.
    • Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat absorbed when a solid melts or released when a liquid freezes.
    • For water at 0°C, the latent heat of fusion is approximately 80 calories per gram (1436 calories per mole).

    Le Chatelier's Principle

    • Le Chatelier's principle states that when a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in conditions, it will readjust to minimize the effect of the change.
    • This principle can be applied to explain the behavior of real gases.

    Mesophases

    • Mesophases are intermediate states of matter between solids and liquids, with properties of both.
    • Molecules that form mesophases typically have these characteristics:
      • Organic
      • Elongated shape
      • Rigid structure
      • Possess strong dipoles and are easily polarizable.

    Three-Component Systems

    • In a three-component system, the composition can be represented by a triangular phase diagram.
    • Each corner of the triangle represents a pure component (A, B, or C).
    • The lines joining the corners represent two-component mixtures.
    • The area inside the triangle represents all possible combinations of the three components.
