At 25 degrees Celsius and 1 atm carbon dioxide is in the gas phase. The temperature of sublimation at 1 atm is about degrees Celsius. Phase Changes Each substance has three phases it can change into; solid, liquid, or gas 1. These processes are reversible and each transfers between phases differently: Melting: The transition from the solid to the liquid phase Freezing: The transition from the liquid phase to the solid phase Evaporating: The transition from the liquid phase to the gas phase Condensing:The transition from the gas phase to the liquid phase Sublimination: The transition from the solid phase to the gas phase Deposition: The transition from the gas phase to the solid phase.
How Phase Transition works There are two variables to consider when looking at phase transition, pressure P and temperature T. Temperature Temperature can change the phase of a substance. Melting point T f Each substance has a melting point. Boiling Point T b Each substance also has a boiling point.
Pressure Pressure can also be used to change the phase of the substance. References Olander, Donald R. General Thermodynamics. Boca Raton: CRC, Oxtoby, David W. Gillis, and Alan Campion.

Learning Objectives Describe the process of vaporization. Key Takeaways Key Points Evaporation is a phase transition from the liquid phase to the gas phase that occurs at temperatures below the boiling point at a given pressure. For molecules of a liquid to evaporate, they must be located near the surface, be moving in the proper direction, and have sufficient kinetic energy to overcome liquid-phase intermolecular forces. Boiling is a phase transition from the liquid phase to the gas phase that occurs at or above the boiling temperature.
Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid and occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point. Key Terms Vaporization : Vaporization is a phase transition from the liquid phase to the gas phase. Boiling : Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid and occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, or the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the surface of the liquid by the surrounding atmospheric gas air.
Supercritical Fluids A supercritical fluid is a substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point, where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist. Learning Objectives Discuss the properties of supercritical fluids. Key Takeaways Key Points Supercritical fluids have properties between those of a gas and a liquid.
A supercritical fluid can effuse through solids like a gas and dissolve materials like a liquid. All supercritical fluids are completely miscible with each other, so for a mixture a single phase can be guaranteed, if the critical point of the mixture is exceeded. Key Terms supercritical fluid : Any substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point, where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist. Liquid to Solid Phase Transition Freezing is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered to its freezing point.
Learning Objectives Discuss the process of freezing. Key Takeaways Key Points For most substances, the melting and freezing points are the same temperature; however, certain substances possess different solid — liquid transition temperatures. The energy released upon freezing, known as the enthalpy of fusion, is a latent heat, and is exactly the same as the energy required to melt the same amount of the solid.
Key Terms Freezing : Freezing or solidification is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered to its freezing point. Nucleation : In the context of freezing, nucleation is the localized budding of a crystalline solid structure.
Solid to Gas Phase Transition Sublimation is the phase transition from the solid to the gaseous phase, without passing through an intermediate liquid phase. Learning Objectives Discuss the process of sublimation. Key Takeaways Key Points Sublimation is an endothermic phase transition in which a solid evaporates to a gas. Solids that sublimate have such high vapor pressures that heating leads to a substantial vaporization even before the melting point is reached.
Key Terms sublimation : The process of transformation directly from the solid to the gaseous phase, without passing through an intermediate liquid phase. Triple point : In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases gas, liquid, and solid coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium.
It is the reverse process of sublimation. Heating Curve for Water Water transitions from ice to liquid to water vapor as heat is added to it.
Learning Objectives Discuss the heating curve for water. Key Takeaways Key Points A heating curve graphically represents the phase transitions that a substance undergoes as heat is added to it. The plateaus on the curve mark the phase changes. The temperature remains constant during these phase transitions. Water has a high boiling point because of the strong hydrogen bonds between the water molecules; it is both a strong hydrogen bond donor and acceptor.
The first change of phase is melting, during which the temperature stays the same while water melts. The second change of phase is boiling, as the temperature stays the same during the transition to gas. Key Terms hydrogen bond : A strong intermolecular bond in which a hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted to a highly electronegative atom usually nitrogen or oxygen in a different molecule.
The lines represent the combinations of pressures and temperatures at which two phases can exist in equilibrium. In other words, these lines define phase change points.
The red line divides the solid and gas phases, represents sublimation solid to gas and deposition gas to solid. The green line divides the solid and liquid phases and represents melting solid to liquid and freezing liquid to solid. The blue divides the liquid and gas phases, represents vaporization liquid to gas and condensation gas to liquid.
There are also two important points on the diagram, the triple point and the critical point. The triple point represents the combination of pressure and temperature that facilitates all phases of matter at equilibrium. With most substances, the temperature and pressure related to the triple point lie below standard temperature and pressure and the pressure for the critical point lies above standard pressure.
Therefore at standard pressure as temperature increases, most substances change from solid to liquid to gas, and at standard temperature as pressure increases, most substances change from gas to liquid to solid. However for other substances, notably water, the line slopes to the left as the diagram for water shows.
This indicates that the liquid phase is more dense than the solid phase. This phenomenon is caused by the crystal structure of the solid phase. In the solid forms of water and some other substances, the molecules crystalize in a lattice with greater average space between molecules, thus resulting in a solid with a lower density than the liquid.
Because of this phenomenon, one is able to melt ice simply by applying pressure and not by adding heat. Moving about the phase diagram reveals information about the phases of matter. Moving along a constant temperature line reveals relative densities of the phases. When moving from the bottom of the diagram to the top, the relative density increases.
Moving along a constant pressure line reveals relative energies of the phases. When moving from the left of the diagram to the right, the relative energies increases. Imagine a substance with the following points on the phase diagram: a triple point at.
The solid liquid line is "normal" meaning positive sloping. For this, complete the following:. The boiling points of ethyl ether and ethanol are Which substance has stronger intermolecular forces? As a liquid boils, it is undergoing the liquid to gas phase change. In order to do this, the intermolecular forces present in the liquid state must be overcome. Stronger intermolecular forces will require more energy to be overcome.
A higher boiling point means more energy is required to overcome the intermolecular forces present in the liquid state.
