NAME: MODS: States of Matter and Phase Changes Review of Sections 11.1-11.3 of your text. 60 point Quick Check on Friday Dec. 4! 1. Do you know these terms? Melting Freezing Vaporization Condensation Sublimation Deposition Vapor Pressure Boiling Point Freezing Point Melting Point Heat of Fusion Heat of Vaporization Phase Diagram Triple Point Critical Temperature Critical Pressure 2. Could you draw particle pictures to represent the 3 common states of matter? Figure 11.2 3. Could you label a Change of State diagram like the one at the top of page 422? 4. Can you read/interpret a graph like Figure 11.5, especially noting which line is at a higher temperature, which line is at a lower temperature, and what is significant about what happens at the far-right of the graph (at high KE)? 5. Can you read a graph like Figure 11.7? 6. Can you read/interpret a graph like Figure 11.9, especially noting what is happening during the horizontal-line portions? Also, could you label points such as melting point, boiling point, freezing point and condensing point? 7. Do you know why the heat of vaporization of a substance is larger than its heat of fusion? 8. Do you know why evaporation leads to the cooling of a liquid? In other words, if you let rubbing alcohol evaporate from your skin, why do you feel a cold sensation? 9. Ignore the section about the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation. J Not needed for this course J 10. Can you read/interpret a phase diagram, like Figure 11.11 (for water) and Figure 11.12 (top one, for CO2), especially noting why water’s has a negative-sloped line between the solid and liquid phases, unlike virtually all other substances on Earth? Also, do you know the significance of the triple-point and the critical-point? 11. Do you know what a supercritical fluid is and what they are useful for now, and what they may be useful for in the future? No? Then maybe you should read about Removing Caffeine from Coffee on page 433! J States of Matter and Phase Changes Some Practice Problems! 1. Identify the phase transition occurring in each of the following: a) the water level in an aquarium tank continuously falls and it has no leak! b) molten lava from a volcano cools and becomes obsidian rock c) mothballs slowly become smaller and disappear, leaving behind no evidence that they were once there! d) chlorine gas is passed into a cold test tube where it becomes a yellow liquid e) when carbon dioxide gas under pressure exits from a small opening, it turns to a white “snow” f) candle wax becomes liquid under the heat of the candle flame 2. Use Figure 11.7 (page 424) to estimate the boiling point of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) under an external pressure of 250 mmHg. 3. Liquid butane (C4H10) is used in lighters as a fuel. Suppose 39.3 g of butane gas is removed from a lighter. How much heat must be provided to vaporize this gas if the heat of vaporization of butane is 21.3 kJ/mol? 4. The heat of vaporization of ammonia is 23.4 kJ/mol. How much heat is required to vaporize 775 g of ammonia? How many grams of water at 0°C could be frozen to ice at 0°C by the evaporation of this amount of ammonia? (see Example 11.1, pg. 426, for help!) 5. Look at the Phase Diagram below: a) b) c) d) e) f) g) h) Is this Phase Diagram for water? How can you tell? What are the temperature and pressure conditions for the triple-point? What are the temperature and pressure conditions for the critical-point? What is the melting point of this substance at 1 atm? What is the boiling point of this substance at 1 atm? What is the sublimation point of this substance at 0.5 atm? At room temperature (25°C) and pressure (1 atm), what state is this substance in? At room temperature (25°C), could you liquefy this substance? (see Example 11.4, pg. 432, for help!)
