Phases of Matter

The role of molecular forces

 In all phases, intramolecular forces (chemical bonding forces are the same)  influence
chemical properties
 Intermolecular forces: the electrostatic forces between molecules/particles and kinetic
energy are responsible for physical properties of the phase/phase changes

Kinetic-Molecular view

 Phase depends on:
o Ep, potential energy of intermolecular forces
q1 x q2
Attraction according to Coulomb’s law: E ∝
distance
o Ek, kinetic energy E ∝ average particle speed E ∝ T (abs. temp)

Intermolecular interactions increases

Kinetic energy increases

Phase Changes

 Determined by intermolecular forces and kinetic energy.
 An increase in Ek allows particles to overcome attractive intermolecular forces and vice versa
 Enthalpy changes occur with phase change
 Enthalpy: A thermodynamics quantity that is the sum of the internal energy plus the product
of the pressure and volume

Gas to liquid Condensation/liquefaction dew
Liquid to gas vaporisation Boiling water steam
Gas to solid deposition frost
Solid to gas sublimation Evaporation of CO2
Liquid to solid Freezing Water  ice

,Solid to liquid Melting/fusion Ice  water




Quantitative Aspects of Phase Changes

 Within a phase, heat flow is accompanied by a change temperature, since the average Ek of
the particles changes.
 q=(amount) x (heat capacity) x ∆ T =n csubstance, phase ∆ T
 During a phase change, heat flow occurs at constant temperatures as the average distance
between particles changes.
 q=n x ∆ H of phase change



Water cooling curve

1. Gas cools: As T decr, Ek
decr, molecular speed
decr and
intermolecular
attractions become
more important.
2. Gas condenses:
Molecules aggregate
into droplets, then
bulk into liquid. T and
Ek remain constant.
3. Liquid cools: T decr, Ek
decr, molecular speed
decr.
 q= n x c(g) x ∆ T
 q= n x (- ∆ H ° vap )
 q=n x c(l) x ∆ T

4. Liquid freezes: At freezing T, intermolecular attractions overcome molecular motion and
molecules freeze into crystal structure. During freezing, T and average Ek remain
constant
5. Solid cools: Molecules can only vibrate in place. Further cooling reduces the average
speed of this vibration.
 q= n x (- ∆ H ° fus )
 q= n x c(l) x ∆ T

,  q for sum of stages 1-5= Hess’s Law



Vapour Pressure

 vapour pressure: the pressure exerted by the vapour on the liquid
 The pressure increases until eqm. Is reached: at eqm. pressure is constant
 Rate vap > Rate cond  At eqm: Rate vap=Rate cond

Liquid-Gas Equilibria

 In a closed system, phase changes are usually reversible.
 The system reaches a state of dynamic equilibrium, where molecules are leaving and
entering the liquid at the same rate.
 Some fast moving liquid molecules escape into gas phase.
 These gas molecules exert pressure on the liquid surface.
 The pressure increases as more molecules enter gas phase.
 Some gas molecules collide with the surface and stick to it, re-entering the liquid phase.
 Eventually, rate of molecules evaporating equals rate of molecules condensing.

Temp and Intermolecular interactions affect Vapour Pressure

 As temperature increases, the fraction of molecules with enough energy to enter the vapour
phase increases and the vapour pressure increases: T incr. P incr.
 The weaker the intermolecular forces, the more easily particles enter the vapour phase, and
higher the vapour pressure: IMFs decr. P incr.
The Effect of temperature on the distribution of molecular speeds

 Vapour pressure increases as temperature increases.

Intermolecular interactions affect Vapour Pressure

 Vapour pressure decreases as the strength of IMFs increases.
 Vapour pressure is characteristic for each substance.
 Average Ek at specific T is the SAME for all substances.
 However, the stronger the IMFs the more energy is required to overcome them and less
molecules leave the liquid, hence vapour pressure decreases.
Clausius-Clapeyron Equation

 Relates vapour pressure and temperature.
 The non-linear P vs T relation can be expressed linearly as lnP vs 1/T
 Straight line form:
1

)+C
−∆ Hvap
lnP= ¿
R
−∆ Hvap
Where: slope= (can be used to calculate heat of vaporisation from slope)
R
A steeper slope indicates a larger ∆ Hvap and indicates stronger IMFs
 When the vapour pressures at two different temperatures are known, use the 2 point form:
