GENERAL CHEMISTRY 2
Phases of Matter:
Solid a
matter that has definite volume and shape.
The particles of a solid have high attraction for each other so are packed together tightly and
vibrate in position.
Liquid
matter that has definite volume but not shape.
The particles of a liquid have high attraction for each other so are tightly packed but have more
energy than solids so they tumble past each other enabling liquids to flow
Gas
matter that has indefinite volume or shape.
Gases exist as single particles with no attraction for each other and move rapidly in straight line
colliding with each other or the inside of the container that they will spread out and fill.

Enthalpy of State Changes – Heat Transfer During State Changes (solid, liquid, gas)
You know from past experience that heat is needed to melt and ice cube or boil water. Chemists quantify
the amount of heat needed for a state change as molar heat or the amount of heat needed for one mole
of substance.
1. The energy required to convert one mole of substance from a solid to liquid is called the molar
heat of fusion. Label this on the diagram. (6.01 kJ per mol for water)
2. Molar heat of solidification is the amount of heat energy removed from one mole of substance
in order to change it from a liquid to a solid. Label this on the diagram. (6.01 kJ per mol for
water)
3. Molar heat of vaporization is the amount of heat energy removed from one mole of substance in
order to change it from a liquid to a gas. Label this on the diagram. (40.7 kJ per mol for water)
4. Molar heat of condensation is the amount of heat energy removed from one mole of substance
in order to change it from a gas to a liquid. Label this on the diagram. (40.7 kJ per mol for water)
Use the phase change diagram above to answer the following questions.
5. Describe what is occurring from;
A to B The solid temperature increases.
B to C It started melting in B and the time that it reached C, it’s completed.
