Term | Definition |
---|---|
Triple Point | the temperature and pressure at which the solid, liquid, and vapor phases of a pure substance can coexist in equilibrium. |
Kinetic molecular theory | the model describes a gas as a large number of identical submicroscopic particles, all of which are in constant, rapid, random motion. |
STP | standard temperature and pressure are standard sets of conditions for experimental measurements to be established to allow comparisons to be made between different sets of data. |
Critical Point | in thermodynamics, a critical point is the end point of a phase equilibrium curve. |
Molar enthalpy of fusion | the amount of energy needed to change one mole of a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase at constant temperature and pressure. |
Deposition | deposition occurs when molecules settle out of a solution. |
Phase Diagram | is a graphical representation of the physical states of a substance under different conditions of temperature and pressure. |
Exothermic | (of a reaction or process) accompanied by the release of heat. |
△ H | that means the reaction is exothermic |
Enthalpy change | the standard enthalpy of reaction is the enthalpy change that occurs in a system when matter is transformed by a given chemical reaction, when all reactants and products are in their standard states. |
Nonvolatile | refers to a substance that does not readily evaporate into gas under existing conditions. |
Hess' Law | regardless of the multiple stages or steps of a reaction, the total enthalpy change for the reaction is the sum of all changes. |
Endothermic | (of a reaction or process) accompanied by or requiring the absorption of heat. |
Molar Mass of Vaporization | if the substance in question is a volatile liquid, a common method to determine its molar mass is to vaporize it and apply the ideal gas law, PV = nRT to the data collected. |
Sublimation | the conversion between the solid and the gaseous phases of matter, with no intermediate liquid stage. |
