Change of state

Solid

Gas Boiling Liquid

---------------------------------------------------------------

Some substances directly change state from solid to gas or from gas to a

solid . This process is called as sublimation.

Examples of substances that sublime are:


Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide)
Solid Gas

• Iodine
• Arsenic
• Naphthalein ( The stuff the camphor balls
are made of)

---------------------------------------------------------------
Explaining the change of state on the basis of kinetic theory
• Between A -B:The temperature of
the solid increases. This is because
increasing the heat energy increases the
vibration of the particles in the solid.
• Between B-C:The force of
attraction between the particles is
weakened so the particles are able to
slide past over each other. The
temperature does not increase as all the
heat supplied goes into overcoming the forces between the particles instead
of raising the temperature. The substance melts.
• Between C-D. As time progresses the average kinetic energy of the
liquid particles increases. Hence the temperature increases.
• Between D-E: The force of attraction between the particles is further
weakened, so much so that the particles move well away from each other. The
temperature is constant because the energy supplied goes into overcoming the
forces between the particles instead of raising the temperature. The
substance boils.
• Between E and F:The average kinetic energy of the particles increases
and hence the speed of the particles also increases. Hence the temperature
increases. The gas particles are now further away from each other.
• Note: In the region BC, The equation of the equilibrium is:

Solid Liquid X(l)


• The graph proves that a pure substance was used as the substance has
a sharp melting point (at BC) and a sharp boiling point (at DE.)
• The temperatures 150C and 800C are important as they represent the
melting and the boiling points.
• If an impure sample would have been used, the line BC would have been
lower and the line DE would have been higher.
