Phase Change and Phase diagram
Phase Changes
 Phase – a homogenous part of a
system that is separated from the
rest of the system by a well-
defined boundary.
 Phase change – transformation
from one phase to another.
 Caused by the removal or
addition of energy.
 Energy involved is usually in
the form of heat.
Dr. A. Al-Saadi 3
Chapter 12 Section 6
How does change in energy affects

phase change?
The added heat is utilized in two ways,
1. The added heat increases the kinetic energy of the
particles and the particles move faster. The increase in
kinetic energy is accompanied by an increase in
temperature.
2. The added heat is used to break attractive force

between particles. There is no observe increase in
temperature when it happens. Often change in
temperature is observed.
Dr. A. Al-Saadi 4
How does change in energy affects

phase change?
Conversely, the removal of heat results two ways,
1. A decrease in kinetic energy of the particles. A

decrease in temperature is observed.
2. Forces of attraction formed. No change in

temperature is observed.

The Six Possible Phase Changes
Dr. A. Al-Saadi 6
Heating Curve
 The changes in the state of a matter can be represented
by a heating curve, which is a plot of temperature vs.
time for a process when an energy is added in a constant
rate to a specific amount of a substance.
Dr. A. Al-Saadi 7
Heating Curve for Water

Boiling point, heat H2O gas with slope different
of vaporization than that for water
(ΔHvap)
The plateau here is 7 time

longer than that at the
melting point
The molecule is completely
changed to vapor
Melting point, Water molecules gain more

heat of fusion energy, and gradually the
(ΔHfus) hydrogen bonding becomes
weaker and weaker
Ice
molecules The molecule is completely
vibrate changed to liquid
Dr. A. Al-Saadi 8
Solid-Liquid Phase Transition

 Freezing – transformation of liquid to solid.
 Melting (fusion) – opposite of freezing.
 Melting point of solid (or freezing point of liquid) –
temperature at which the solid and liquid phases coexist
in equilibrium.
 Dynamic equilibrium in which the forward and
reverse processes are occurring at the same rate.
At 0˚C and 1 atm, the dynamic equilibrium for H2O
is represented by:
ice ↔ water
H2O(s) ↔ H2O(l)
Dr. A. Al-Saadi 9
 Molar heat of fusion (DHfus) : it is the amount of heat

required to melt one mole of a solid. It is usually
expressed in kJ/mol.
Which one do you think is greater for H2O;

DHvap or DHfus?
H2O(s) → H2O(l) ΔHºfus = 6.02 kJ/mol

H2O(l) → H2O(g) ΔHºvap = 40.7 kJ/mol
Dr. A. Al-Saadi 10
Dr. A. Al-Saadi 11
Liquid-Vapor Phase Transition

 Vapor pressure of a liquid
increases with temperature.
When the vapor pressure
reaches the external pressure,
the liquid boils.
 Boiling point – the
temperature at which the
vapor pressure of liquid
equals the atmospheric
pressure.
The boiling temperature
varies with the external
pressure.
Dr. A. Al-Saadi 12

 Molar heat of vaporization (DHvap) : it is the amount of
heat required to vaporize one mole of a substance at its
boiling point. It is usually expressed in kJ/mol.
 DHvap is dependent on the strength of intermolecular forces.
Dr. A. Al-Saadi 13

 Condensation : opposite to vaporization.
 The condensation (liquefaction) process can be achieved
either by:
 Cooling the sample.
 Applying pressure on it.
 Critical temperature (Tc) – the temperature above which
a gas cannot be liquefied by applying pressure.
 Critical pressure (Pc) – the pressure that must be applied
to liquefy a gas at Tc.
 Supercritical fluid – the fluid that exists above Tc and Pc.

Solid-Vapor Phase Transition

 Sublimation: a process in which the
substance goes directly from the
solid to the gaseous states.

Dr. A. Al-Saadi 16
Solid-Vapor Phase Transition

 Deposition – reverse of sublimation
 Molar heat of sublimation (DHsub) : it is the
amount of energy required to sublime one
mole of solid usually in kJ/mol.
Dr. A. Al-Saadi 17
EXAMPLE
 How much energy is required to change 2600 grams of
ice at 0 degrees centigrade into water at the same
temperature?
 How much energy is required to change 2600 grams of

water at 100 degrees centigrade into steam at the same
temperature?
 Calculate the amount of heat needed to be absorbed by

10 grams of ice at -20 degrees centigrade to convert it to
liquid water at 60 degrees centigrade.

Phase Diagrams
 Phase diagram –
summarizes the conditions
(temperature and pressure) at
which a substance exists as a
solid, liquid or gas
 Divided into three regions
(solid, liquid, vapor).
 Phase boundary line –
line separating any two
regions. It indicates
conditions at which two The phase diagram

which all three phase

Critical T and P
 The phase diagram of

water is unusual because
the solid-liquid phase
boundary has a negative
slope.
By applying pressure,
H2O can be liquefied.
This is because the

Phase Diagram of H2O
 Application of that special

physical properties of water:
 Ice skating (more pressure
from the skater’s blade
causes the ice to convert
into water).
 Pipe freezing causes them to
crack.
 Ice formed on lakes floats.
