Study Notes
- Phase changes involve transitions between solid, liquid, and gaseous states of matter.
- These changes occur due to the addition or removal of energy, affecting the kinetic energy of particles.
Kinetic Energy and Temperature
- Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to motion.
- Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles within a substance.
- As temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of particles also increases, and vice versa.
Phase Changes
- Phase changes occur when a substance transitions from one state of matter to another.
- The main phase changes are:
- Melting (solid to liquid)
- Freezing (liquid to solid)
- Vaporization (liquid to gas)
- Condensation (gas to liquid)
- Sublimation (solid to gas)
- Deposition (gas to solid)
- During a phase change, energy is either absorbed or released, but the temperature remains constant.
- The energy involved in phase changes is called latent heat.
Melting
- Melting is the phase change from a solid to a liquid.
- It occurs when the temperature of a solid reaches its melting point.
- At the melting point, the particles in the solid gain enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them in fixed positions.
- Additional energy input at the melting point is used to break these intermolecular bonds.
- The energy required for melting is called the heat of fusion.
Freezing
- Freezing is the phase change from a liquid to a solid.
- It occurs when the temperature of a liquid reaches its freezing point.
- At the freezing point, the particles in the liquid lose kinetic energy.
- Intermolecular forces cause them to arrange into a more ordered, solid structure.
- Energy is released as the liquid freezes.
- The energy released during freezing is equal to the heat of fusion.
Vaporization
- Vaporization is the phase change from a liquid to a gas.
- It includes both evaporation and boiling.
- Evaporation occurs at the surface of a liquid at any temperature.
- Boiling occurs throughout the liquid when it reaches its boiling point.
- At the boiling point, the particles in the liquid gain enough kinetic energy to overcome intermolecular forces.
- These forces allow them to escape into the gaseous phase.
- The energy required for vaporization is called the heat of vaporization.
Condensation
- Condensation is the phase change from a gas to a liquid.
- It occurs when the temperature of a gas decreases.
- Particles lose kinetic energy and intermolecular forces cause them to form liquid droplets.
- Energy is released as the gas condenses.
- The energy released during condensation is equal to the heat of vaporization.
Sublimation
- Sublimation is the phase change from a solid to a gas.
- It occurs when particles in a solid gain enough kinetic energy to directly escape into the gaseous phase.
- This bypasses the liquid phase.
- An example of sublimation is dry ice (solid CO2) turning directly into gaseous CO2.
- The energy required for sublimation is the sum of the heat of fusion and the heat of vaporization.
Deposition
- Deposition is the phase change from a gas to a solid.
- It occurs when particles in a gas lose enough kinetic energy to directly form a solid.
- This also bypasses the liquid phase.
- An example of deposition is frost forming on a cold surface.
- The energy released during deposition is equal to the sum of the heat of condensation and the heat of freezing.
Energy and Phase Changes
- During a phase change, the temperature of the substance remains constant.
- Added energy is used to overcome intermolecular forces rather than increasing the kinetic energy of the particles.
- When energy is removed during a phase change, the temperature remains constant.
- Energy is removed as intermolecular forces form.
- The kinetic energy of the particles decreases only after the phase change is complete.
Heating Curves
- A heating curve is a graph that shows the temperature of a substance as energy is added.
- The curve includes flat regions, which represent phase changes.
- During these flat regions, the temperature remains constant.
- The slope of the curve indicates the change in temperature as energy is added to a single phase.
Cooling Curves
- A cooling curve is a graph that shows the temperature of a substance as energy is removed.
- Similar to heating curves, cooling curves include flat regions representing phase changes.
- During these flat regions, the temperature remains constant.
- The slope of the curve indicates the change in temperature as energy is removed from a single phase.
Intermolecular Forces
- Intermolecular forces are attractive forces between molecules.
- Stronger intermolecular forces result in higher melting and boiling points.
- Substances with weak intermolecular forces require less energy to change phase.
- Substances with strong intermolecular forces require more energy to change phase.
