Not what you're looking for?

Ask Custom Question

Matter exists in three different states: solid, liquid, and gas. Depending upon its physical properties, matter will be found in one of these states at ambient temperature and pressure.

Describe a situation where a substance changed between the solid and liquid states or between liquid and gas states? Can you describe an example of when a substance changed between the gas and solid states? Let's see how many different examples we can describe.

  • The thermochemical standard state of a substance is its most

    C.For a pure substance in the liquid or solid phase, the standard state is the pure liquid or solid. D.For a pure gas, the standard state is the gas at a pressure of one atmosphere. E.

  • Kinetic Molecular Theory: Benzoic Acid

    It also states that the attractions between molecules is negligible. Now liquid molecules are more gas-like than molecules in the solid state. Liquid molecules have more gas-like properties than solid molecules.

  • Increase in Entropy

    H2O(l) → H2O(s) Here, we go from a liquid to a solid. Since a solid is more ordered than a liquid, this shows a decrease in entropy. S8(s) → S(g) Here we go from a solid to a gas. A gas is more disordered than a solid.
