STATES OF MATTER Solid – definite shape & volume – vibrates about a fixed point

STATES OF MATTER Liquid – definite volume – assumes shape of container – vibrates about a moving point – flows

STATES OF MATTER Gas – assumes shape & volume of container – easily compressed & expands without limit – vs. vapor

STATES OF MATTER Plasma – high energy particles – found in stars – produces auroras

Temp ( o C) Solid Vapor Liquid Pressure (kPa)

Calculating energy needed to change phases To Melt: q = m /\H (fus) (may need to convert moles to grams) To Boil: q = m /\H (vap) (may need to convert moles to grams) To Heat: q = m /\T C p(phase)
