Chapter 10: Q10E (page 584)

In terms of their bulk properties, how do liquids and solids differ? How are they similar?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Solids and liquids are similar in some cases but differ in their bulk properties.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Matter

A matter is defined as a substance consisting of several types of particles that has both mass and volume.

Matters make up everything in our world. Atoms and molecules are comprised of extremely small particles of matter. These atoms make up the objects we see and touch every day.

02

Difference between liquids and solids

Solids are rigid and have a set shape, whereas liquids have no fixed shape.

03

Similarities between liquids and solids

Atoms, ions, and molecules make up both solids and liquids, which are almost incompressible and have similar densities.

Question: In terms of their bulk properties, how do liquids and solids differ? How are they similar?

How much heat is required to convert \({\rm{422 g}}\) of liquid \({{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{O}}\) at \({\rm{2}}{{\rm{3}}^{\rm{o}}}{\rm{C}}\) into steam at \({\rm{15}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{o}}}{\rm{C}}\)?

Elemental carbon has one gas phase, one liquid phase, and two different solid phases, as shown in the phase diagram

  1. On the phase diagram, label the gas and liquid regions.
  2. Graphite is the most stable phase of carbon at normal conditions. On the phase diagram, label the graphite phase.
  3. If graphite at normal conditions is heated to 2500 K while the pressure is increased to 1010 Pa, it is converted into diamond. Label the diamond phase.
  4. Circle each triple point on the phase diagram.
  5. In what phase does carbon exist at 5000 K and 108 Pa?
  6. If the temperature of a sample of carbon increases from 3000 K to 5000 K at a constant pressure of 106 Pa, which phase transition occurs, if any?
