Clausius-Clapeyron Equation02:35

Clausius-Clapeyron Equation

The equilibrium between a liquid and its vapor depends on the temperature of the system; a rise in temperature causes a corresponding rise in the vapor pressure of its liquid. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation gives the quantitative relation between a substance’s vapor pressure (P) and its temperature (T); it predicts the rate at which vapor pressure increases per unit increase in temperature.

Phase Transitions: Melting and Freezing02:39

Phase Transitions: Melting and Freezing

Heating a crystalline solid increases the average energy of its atoms, molecules, or ions, and the solid gets hotter. At some point, the added energy becomes large enough to partially overcome the forces holding the molecules or ions of the solid in their fixed positions, and the solid begins the process of transitioning to the liquid state or melting. At this point, the temperature of the solid stops rising, despite the continual input of heat, and it remains constant until all of the solid is...

Equation of State01:07

Equation of State

The equation of state is an equation that relates physical quantities, such as pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles, of a thermodynamics system with each other. The equation relating physical quantities with each other can be a simple mathematical expression or too complicated to express in mathematical form. In either case, a relationship between physical quantities exists. If the equation of state cannot be expressed in a mathematical form, then experimental data and...

Thermodynamic Potentials01:26

Thermodynamic Potentials

Thermodynamic potentials are state functions that are extremely useful in analyzing a thermodynamic system. They have dimensions of energy. The four important thermodynamic potentials are internal energy, enthalpy, Helmholtz free energy, and Gibbs free energy. These thermodynamic potentials can be expressed using two of the following variables: pressure, volume, temperature, and entropy. These two variables are expressed as the rate of change of the thermodynamic potential with respect to other...

Variables and Equations of State

The physical state of a pure substance can be defined by certain state variables such as volume (V), pressure (p), temperature (T), and amount of substance (n). When two gases are separated by a movable wall, the gas with the higher pressure naturally compresses the gas with the lower pressure. This causes the high-pressure gas to expand and the low-pressure gas to compress until both gases achieve mechanical equilibrium. At this point, their pressures equalize, and the movement of the wall...

Thermodynamic Properties of Ideal Solutions01:19

Thermodynamic Properties of Ideal Solutions

For an ideal liquid solution, the standard state of each component is defined as the pure liquid at the temperature and pressure of the solution. Similarly, for solid solutions, the standard state is the pure solid. The chemical potentials of the components in the ideal solution are compared to the chemical potentials of the pure substances in their standard states. These standard states provide a reference point for calculating the thermodynamic properties of ideal solutions.For ideal...
