Phase Diagrams
 Phase - a form of matter that is uniform throughout in chemical
composition and physical state (J. Willard Gibbs)
» Homogeneous - one phase present, e.g., glass of cracked ice (not including
the glass)
» Heterogeneous - more than one phase, e.g., glass of cracked ice with water
 Phase transition - spontaneous conversion of one phase to a another
» Occurs at characteristic temperature for a given pressure, transition temperature, Ttrs
» At Ttrs, phases are in equilibrium and Gibbs energy minimized
 Example ice and water at 0°C
» This says nothing about the rate the transition occurs
 Graphite is the stable phase of carbon at R.T., but diamonds exist because rate of
thermodynamically “spontaneous” to low
 Such kinetically persistent unstable phases are called metastable phases
 Phase Diagram is a P,T plot showing regions of
thermodynamically stable phases
» Lines separating phases are called phase boundaries
 Vapor-liquid boundary shows variation of vapor pressure with temperature
 Solid-liquid boundary shows variation of sublimation pressure with temperature
Phase Boundaries (cont.)
 Boiling Points
» Temperature at which vapor pressure equals external pressure
 Normal boiling point (Tb) external pressure = 1 atm (H2O: 100.0°C)
 Standard boiling point external pressure = 1 bar (0.987 atm) (H2O: 99.6°C)
 Critical Point
» In closed vessel boiling does not occur. Pressure increases and fluid level drops.
liquid decreases and vapor increase as T increases
 At some point liquid = vapor and boundary disappears: critical temperature
(Tc),vapor pressure is critical pressure, pc
 Above a single uniform phase exists, supercritical fluid
 Highest temperature liquid can exist
 Melting Points
» Melting temperature both solid and liquid phases exist.
 Equivalent to freezing temperature
 Normal freezing(melting) point (Tf) external pressure = 1 atm (H2O: 0°C)
 Standard freezing point external pressure = 1 bar (0.987 atm)
 Triple Point (T3) - place at which 3 phase boundaries meet
» All 3 phases exist simultaneously
» Typically solid, liquid and gas
 Lowest pressure and temperature liquid can exist
» Invariant, property of substance (H2O: 273.15K, 6.11 mbar)

Phase Diagrams - Water
 Slope of solid-liquid boundary means
large p necessary to significantly change
melting temp.
» Negative slope means Tmelt decreases as p
increase
 Due to structure of water
 Liquid has lower volume than solid
(liquid >solid)
 High pressure phases
» Different crystal structure and density
 Ice I (hexagonal); Ice III (Tetragonal)
 At -175°C and 1 atm: Ice I (= 0.94 g/cc);
Ice VI (= 1.31 g/cc);
» Can melt at higher temperatures than Ice I
 Ice VII melts at 100°C but only exists at
p>25 kbar
 8 triple points (6 plotted)
» Only one between solid (Ice I), liquid and
gas
Ice VI,VII, VIII
21 kbar, ~5 °C
Ice VI,VII, liquid
22 kbar, 81.6 °C
Phase Diagrams - Carbon Dioxide
 Melting temperature increases a p
increases
» Unlike water& more typical
 T3 > 1 atm
» Liquid CO2 doesn’t exist at 1 atm
 High pressure CO2 tanks contain liquid
 At 25°C (298.15 K) and 67 atm, gas and
liquid co-exist
Phase Diagrams - Helium
 Note temperature scale (< 6K)
 Solid and gas never in equilibrium
 Two liquid phases
» Phase boundary -line (type of phase transition)
» Higher temperature liquid (He-I) is regular
liquid
» Low temperature liquid (He-II) superfluid (zero
viscosity)
 It rather than solid exists close to 0K

Gibbs Energies and Phase Diagrams
 Chemical potential (µ) - for one component system µ =Gm
» Measure of the potential of a substance to bring about change
» More detail in Chapters 7 & 9
 At equilibrium, µ is the same throughout the system
» Regardless of number of phases
» If µ1 is chem. potential of phase 1 and µ2 is chem. potential of phase 2, at
equilibrium µ1 = µ2
 Consequence of 2nd
Law of Thermodynamics
 If dn is transferred from one location (phase) to another, -µ1dn, is the
change in Gibbs energy in that phase and µ2dn is change in free energy in
the second phase.
 dG = -µ1dn + µ2dn = (µ2 - µ1)dn
 If µ1 > µ2 dG < 0 and change spontaneous
 If µ1 = µ2 dG = 0 and system at equilibrium
 Transition temperature is that temperature where µ1 = µ2
 Chemical potentials of phases change with temperature
» At low T and reasonable p, solid has lowest µ and, hence, most stable
» As T raised, µ of other phase may become less than solid(at that temp.) so it
becomes stable phase
T and p Dependence on Melting
 Recall, (∂G/∂T)p = -S so (∂µ/∂T)p = -Sm
» Since Sm> 0 for all pure substances, (∂µ/∂T)p < 0 or a plot of µ
vs. T will have a negative slope
» Because Sm(gas)> Sm(liquid)> Sm(solid)> slopes going from gas
 solid increasingly negative
 Transitions (melting, vaporization) occur when µ of one phase
becomes greater than another so substances melt when
µ(liquid)>µ(solid)
 Phase change means modifying relative values of µ for each phase
 Given differences in slopes, change in T easiest way to do it
 Similarly, (∂G/∂p)T = V so (∂µ/∂T)p = Vm
» Because Vm increases with p, graph of µ vs. T translates
upward as p increases
 For most substances Vm(l)> Vm(s), µ(l) increases more than µ(s),
Tf increases as p increases (a)
 Consistent with observations and physical sense higher p retards
movement to lower density
 Water exception since Vm(s)> Vm(l), as p increases µ(s) increases
more than µ(l), so Tf decreases as p increases (b)
Vm(l)> Vm(s)
Vm(s)> Vm(l)
Assessing Effect of Pressure on Melting
Example 6.1
Calculate µ for each state over pressure range, µ (water)  p = 1 bar; µ (ice)  p = 1 bar
 µ (water) = 1.80 J mol-1
and µ (ice) = 1.97 J mol-1
 J mol-1
are units of µ just like G
 µ (water) < µ (ice), so tendency for ice to melt
 Look at Self Test 6.2 (opposite of water)

Effect of Pressure on Vapor Pressure
 When pressure applied to a condensed phase
(solid or liquid), vapor pressure increases, i.e.,
molecules move to gas phase
» Increase in p can be mechanical or with inert gas
 Ignore dissolution of pressurizing gas in liquid
 Ignore gas solvation, attachment of liquid molecules
to gas-phase species
» Vapor pressure in equilibrium with condensed
phase is the partial vapor pressure of the

Location of Phase Boundaries
 Phase boundaries occur when chemical potentials are equal and phases are in
equilibrium, or for phases  and :
µ(p,T) = µ(p,T)
» Need to solve this equation for p, p= f(T)
» On plot of p vs. T, f(T) is a gives the phase boundary
 Slopes of phase boundaries
» Slope is dp/dT
 If p and T are changed such that two phases,  and  , are in equilibrium, dµ= dµ
But, dµ = -SmdT + Vdp
So, -Sm,dT + Vmdp = -Sm,dT + Vmdp
Or (Sm,-Sm,dT + = (Vm - Vm )dp
But (Sm,- Sm, = trsS and (Vm - Vm ) = trsV
 This rearranges to:
dp/dT = trsS / trsV
where and are the entropy and volume of transition
» This is called the Clapeyron Equation
 Exact expression for the phase boundary at equilibrium
 Can be used to predict appearance of phase diagrams and form of boundaries
µ 

Solid-Liquid Boundary
 For solid-liquid boundary, Clapeyron Equation becomes
dp/dT = fusS / fusV
where fusV is the change in molar volume on melting
 fusS is always positive (except for 3
He) and fusV is usually small so dp/dT is large (steep
slope) and positive
 Formula for phase boundary comes from integrating Clapeyron equation

 This is straight line of slope
[fusH / (T*fusV)]
Liquid Vapor Boundary
 Again, Clapeyron equation can be used
» vapV is large and positive so dp/dT is positive, but smaller than for solid-liquid transition
» vapH/T is Trouton’s constant
» Because Vm(gas) >> Vm(liquid), vapV ≈ Vm(gas)
 For ideal gas, Vm(gas) = RT/p so vapV ≈ RT/p

Solid-Vapor Boundary
 Solid-vapor boundary same as
liquid vapor boundary except
use subH instead of vapH
 Since subH > vapH, slope of
curve is steeper
 Curves coincide at triple point
along with solid-liquid
boundary
Classification of Phase Transitions
Ehrenfest Clasification
 We’ve been talking a lot about the slopes of phase transitions, (∂µ/∂T)p or (∂µ/∂V)T
» Transitions are accompanied by changes in entropy and volume
 At transition from a phase, , to another phase, 
(∂µ /∂T)p - (∂µ /∂T)p = -S,m + S,m = - Strs = -trsH/T
(∂µ /∂p)T - (∂µ /∂p)T = V,m - V,m = -trsV
 1st Order Transitions (e.g., melting, vaporization)
» Since fusH, vapH and fusV, vapV are non-zero, the changes in µ {(∂µ/∂T)p or (∂µ/∂p)T} as you
approach the transition are different.
 There is a discontinuity at the transition
 A transition in which the slope of µ, (∂µ/∂T)p , is discontinuous is called a 1st order
transition
 Cp is slope of plot of H vs. T (∂H/∂T)p at 1st order transition is infinite
 Infinitesimal change in T produces finite change in H

» Heat capacity is discontinuous, and infinite at
transition temperature
Liquid Surfaces
 Surface effects can be expressed in terms of thermodynamic functions since
work is required to change the surface area of a liquid
» If  is the surface area of a liquid, d is its infinitesimal change when an amount of
work, dw is done
» dw is proportional to the surface area of the liquid, i.e.,
dw = d
 the proportionality constant is defined as the surface tension
 Dimensions of  : energy/area (J/m2
or N/m)
 To calculate the work needed to create or change a surface by a particular area increment
you only need to calculate the area since is a constant
 Look at Self Test 6.4
 At constant volume and temperature the work is the Helmholtz energy (A)
dA = d
» As d decreases the Helmholtz energy minimizes
 This is the direction of spontaneous change so surfaces of liquids tend to contract
 Often minimizing of dA results in curved surfaces
Curved Liquid Surfaces
 Bubble - a region in which vapor (+ air) is trapped by thin
film
» Bubbles have 2 surfaces one on each side of the film
» Cavity is a vapor-filled hole in liquid (commonly called
bubbles) but 1/2 the surface area
» Droplet - small volume of liquid surrounded by vapor (+air)
 Pressure inside a concave surface (pin) is always greater
than pressure outside (pout)
» Difference depends on surface area and surface tension
pin = pout + 2/r Laplace
eqn
for sphere the outward force is
pin area 4r2

the inward force comes from

r
Laplace equation
 As r  ∞ (flat surface), pin = pout
 As r  small(small bubbles), 2/rimportant
» Earlier we saw, the vapor pressure in the presence of external pressure p is
p = p*eVmP/RT
 So, for bubble since p = 2/r
p = p*e2Vm/rRT
Kelvin Equation (bubble)
 In a cavity, pout < pin, so sign of exponential term is reversed
p = p*e-2Vm/rRT
Kelvin Equation (cavity)
Nucleation, Superheating &Supercooling
 Nucleation
» For water droplets
 r =1µm; @25°C, p/p* = 1.001
 Small effect but mat have important consequences
 r =1nm; @25°C, p/p* = 3
» Clouds form when water droplets condense. Warm moist air rises, condenses at colder altitude
 Initial droplets small so Kelvin equation tells us vapor pressure of droplet increases
 Small droplets tend to evaporate
 Unless large numbers of molecules congregate (spontaneous nucleation)
 Air becomes supersaturated and thermodynamically unstable
 Nucleation centers (dust particles, sea salt) allow clouds to form by allowing condensation
to occur on larger surfaces
 Superheating - liquids persist above boiling point
» Vapor pressure inside a small cavity in liquid is low so cavities tend to collapse
 Spontaneous nucleation causes larger more stable cavities (and bumping!)
 Nucleation centers allow for stabilization of cavity
 Basis of bubble chamber
» Supercooling, persistence of liquids past freezing point, is analogous
Capillaries
 Capillary action - tendency of liquids to rise up/fall in narrow
bore (capillary) tubes
 Capillary rise/fall
» If liquid has tendency to adhere to the tube walls (e.g. water),
energy lowest when most surface is covered
 Liquid creeps up wall (concave meniscus)
 Pressure beneath curve of meniscus is lower than atmosphere
by 2/r, where r is radius (Kelvin equation, cylindrical tube)
 Pressure at flat surface = atmospheric pressure (r  ∞)
» Liquid rises in capillary until hydrostatic equilibrium is reached
 As liquid rises p increases by gh ( = density; h= height)
 At equilibrium, pcapillary = pexternal or 2/r = gh
Height of capillary rise h = 2/gr
 As tube gets smaller, h gets higher
 Can be used to measure surface tension of liquids
 is temperature dependent
» If liquid has a tendency not to adhere (e.g. Hg) liquid will fall in
capillary because pressure less under meniscus
 Treatment the same, except sign reversed
Contact Angle
 Contact angle is the angle between edge of meniscus and wall
» If c ≠ 0, then the equation for capillary rise becomes
h = 2Cosc/gr
 Arises from balance of forces at the point of contact between liquid and solid
» The surface tension is essentially the energy needed to create a unit area of each of the interfaces
 sg = Energy to create unit area at gas-solid interface
 lg = Energy to create unit area at gas-liquid interface
 sl = Energy to create unit area at solid-liquid interface
» At equilibrium, the vertical forces in capillary are in balance so
sg = sl + Cos(c) lg Or Cos(c) =( sg -sl )/ lg See diagram
» Work of adhesion (wad) of liquid to solid is sg + lg - sl
» So Cos(c) =( sg -sl )/ lg =(wad -lg )/ lg =(wad / lg ) - 1
 If liquid wets surface 0° < c < 90° , 1> Cos(c)  0 so 1< (wad / lg ) 2
 If liquid doesn’t wet surface 90° < c < 180° , 0> Cos(c)  -1 so 1> (wad / lg ) 0
 Takes more work to overcome cohesive forces in liquid
“wets”
“doesn’t wet”

  • 2. Phase Diagrams  Phase - a form of matter that is uniform throughout in chemical composition and physical state (J. Willard Gibbs) » Homogeneous - one phase present, e.g., glass of cracked ice (not including the glass) » Heterogeneous - more than one phase, e.g., glass of cracked ice with water  Phase transition - spontaneous conversion of one phase to a another » Occurs at characteristic temperature for a given pressure, transition temperature, Ttrs » At Ttrs, phases are in equilibrium and Gibbs energy minimized  Example ice and water at 0°C » This says nothing about the rate the transition occurs  Graphite is the stable phase of carbon at R.T., but diamonds exist because rate of thermodynamically “spontaneous” to low  Such kinetically persistent unstable phases are called metastable phases  Phase Diagram is a P,T plot showing regions of thermodynamically stable phases » Lines separating phases are called phase boundaries  Vapor-liquid boundary shows variation of vapor pressure with temperature  Solid-liquid boundary shows variation of sublimation pressure with temperature
  • 3. Phase Boundaries (cont.)  Boiling Points » Temperature at which vapor pressure equals external pressure  Normal boiling point (Tb) external pressure = 1 atm (H2O: 100.0°C)  Standard boiling point external pressure = 1 bar (0.987 atm) (H2O: 99.6°C)  Critical Point » In closed vessel boiling does not occur. Pressure increases and fluid level drops. liquid decreases and vapor increase as T increases  At some point liquid = vapor and boundary disappears: critical temperature (Tc),vapor pressure is critical pressure, pc  Above a single uniform phase exists, supercritical fluid  Highest temperature liquid can exist  Melting Points » Melting temperature both solid and liquid phases exist.  Equivalent to freezing temperature  Normal freezing(melting) point (Tf) external pressure = 1 atm (H2O: 0°C)  Standard freezing point external pressure = 1 bar (0.987 atm)  Triple Point (T3) - place at which 3 phase boundaries meet » All 3 phases exist simultaneously » Typically solid, liquid and gas  Lowest pressure and temperature liquid can exist » Invariant, property of substance (H2O: 273.15K, 6.11 mbar) pc Tb 1 atm = pex supercritical fluid
  • 4. Phase Diagrams - Water  Slope of solid-liquid boundary means large p necessary to significantly change melting temp. » Negative slope means Tmelt decreases as p increase  Due to structure of water  Liquid has lower volume than solid (liquid >solid)  High pressure phases » Different crystal structure and density  Ice I (hexagonal); Ice III (Tetragonal)  At -175°C and 1 atm: Ice I (= 0.94 g/cc); Ice VI (= 1.31 g/cc); » Can melt at higher temperatures than Ice I  Ice VII melts at 100°C but only exists at p>25 kbar  8 triple points (6 plotted) » Only one between solid (Ice I), liquid and gas Ice VI,VII, VIII 21 kbar, ~5 °C Ice VI,VII, liquid 22 kbar, 81.6 °C
  • 5. Phase Diagrams - Carbon Dioxide  Melting temperature increases a p increases » Unlike water& more typical  T3 > 1 atm » Liquid CO2 doesn’t exist at 1 atm  High pressure CO2 tanks contain liquid  At 25°C (298.15 K) and 67 atm, gas and liquid co-exist
  • 6. Phase Diagrams - Helium  Note temperature scale (< 6K)  Solid and gas never in equilibrium  Two liquid phases » Phase boundary -line (type of phase transition) » Higher temperature liquid (He-I) is regular liquid » Low temperature liquid (He-II) superfluid (zero viscosity)  It rather than solid exists close to 0K 3 He 4 He  Phase diagram depends on nuclear spin » 3 H - non-zero spin, 4 H -zero spin » 3 H diagram different than 43 H, esp. low temperature  3 H Sliquid < Ssolid, melting exothermic
  • 7. Gibbs Energies and Phase Diagrams  Chemical potential (µ) - for one component system µ =Gm » Measure of the potential of a substance to bring about change » More detail in Chapters 7 & 9  At equilibrium, µ is the same throughout the system » Regardless of number of phases » If µ1 is chem. potential of phase 1 and µ2 is chem. potential of phase 2, at equilibrium µ1 = µ2  Consequence of 2nd Law of Thermodynamics  If dn is transferred from one location (phase) to another, -µ1dn, is the change in Gibbs energy in that phase and µ2dn is change in free energy in the second phase.  dG = -µ1dn + µ2dn = (µ2 - µ1)dn  If µ1 > µ2 dG < 0 and change spontaneous  If µ1 = µ2 dG = 0 and system at equilibrium  Transition temperature is that temperature where µ1 = µ2  Chemical potentials of phases change with temperature » At low T and reasonable p, solid has lowest µ and, hence, most stable » As T raised, µ of other phase may become less than solid(at that temp.) so it becomes stable phase
  • 8. T and p Dependence on Melting  Recall, (∂G/∂T)p = -S so (∂µ/∂T)p = -Sm » Since Sm> 0 for all pure substances, (∂µ/∂T)p < 0 or a plot of µ vs. T will have a negative slope » Because Sm(gas)> Sm(liquid)> Sm(solid)> slopes going from gas  solid increasingly negative  Transitions (melting, vaporization) occur when µ of one phase becomes greater than another so substances melt when µ(liquid)>µ(solid)  Phase change means modifying relative values of µ for each phase  Given differences in slopes, change in T easiest way to do it  Similarly, (∂G/∂p)T = V so (∂µ/∂T)p = Vm » Because Vm increases with p, graph of µ vs. T translates upward as p increases  For most substances Vm(l)> Vm(s), µ(l) increases more than µ(s), Tf increases as p increases (a)  Consistent with observations and physical sense higher p retards movement to lower density  Water exception since Vm(s)> Vm(l), as p increases µ(s) increases more than µ(l), so Tf decreases as p increases (b) Vm(l)> Vm(s) Vm(s)> Vm(l)
  • 9. Assessing Effect of Pressure on Melting Example 6.1 Calculate µ for each state over pressure range, µ (water)  p = 1 bar; µ (ice)  p = 1 bar  µ (water) = 1.80 J mol-1 and µ (ice) = 1.97 J mol-1  J mol-1 are units of µ just like G  µ (water) < µ (ice), so tendency for ice to melt  Look at Self Test 6.2 (opposite of water)  p       T Vm , where Vm is the molar volume But, Vm M / , where  density and M molar mass  p       T M /  Over finite change in presure   M/   dp p1 p2  M /p
  • 10. Effect of Pressure on Vapor Pressure  When pressure applied to a condensed phase (solid or liquid), vapor pressure increases, i.e., molecules move to gas phase » Increase in p can be mechanical or with inert gas  Ignore dissolution of pressurizing gas in liquid  Ignore gas solvation, attachment of liquid molecules to gas-phase species » Vapor pressure in equilibrium with condensed phase is the partial vapor pressure of the substance, p* p = p*eVmP/RT [1] Math Moment: ex = 1+ x + 1/2x2 +…. If x<<1, .e ≈ 1 + x Since (g) (l) at equilibrium, d(g) d(l) when additional external pressure dP appplied d(l) Vm(l)dP and d(g) Vm (g)dP For ideal gas, Vm (g)  RT p so, Vm(l)dp  RT p dp Integrating from P1 to P2 P P2  P1  , Vm (l)dp P1 P2   RT p dp P1 P2  if no additonal pressure, p P1 p*, with external pressure, P, p p  P p P p (effect of pressure small),so int egrals become Vm (l)dp p* p*P   RT p dp p* p  VmP RT ln p p *       exp onetiate p p* e Vm P RT or p p* e Vm P RT Proof   [1] becomes p = p*(1 + VmP/RT) If VmP/RT<<1 or p p * p*  VmP RT
  • 11. Location of Phase Boundaries  Phase boundaries occur when chemical potentials are equal and phases are in equilibrium, or for phases  and : µ(p,T) = µ(p,T) » Need to solve this equation for p, p= f(T) » On plot of p vs. T, f(T) is a gives the phase boundary  Slopes of phase boundaries » Slope is dp/dT  If p and T are changed such that two phases,  and  , are in equilibrium, dµ= dµ But, dµ = -SmdT + Vdp So, -Sm,dT + Vmdp = -Sm,dT + Vmdp Or (Sm,-Sm,dT + = (Vm - Vm )dp But (Sm,- Sm, = trsS and (Vm - Vm ) = trsV  This rearranges to: dp/dT = trsS / trsV where and are the entropy and volume of transition » This is called the Clapeyron Equation  Exact expression for the phase boundary at equilibrium  Can be used to predict appearance of phase diagrams and form of boundaries µ  = µ 
  • 12. Solid-Liquid Boundary  For solid-liquid boundary, Clapeyron Equation becomes dp/dT = fusS / fusV where fusV is the change in molar volume on melting  fusS is always positive (except for 3 He) and fusV is usually small so dp/dT is large (steep slope) and positive  Formula for phase boundary comes from integrating Clapeyron equation dp  fus S fusV dT recall trsS  trsH T , so dp  fus H TfusV dT Integrating dp p* p   fus H fusV 1 T T* T  dT, where T * is melting temperature @p* p p*  fus H fusV ln T T *       If T close to T*, ln T T *      ln 1 T  T * T       p p*  fus H fusV ln 1 T  T * T       Math Moment: ln(1+x) = x - 1/2x2 +….

  • 13. Liquid Vapor Boundary  Again, Clapeyron equation can be used » vapV is large and positive so dp/dT is positive, but smaller than for solid-liquid transition » vapH/T is Trouton’s constant » Because Vm(gas) >> Vm(liquid), vapV ≈ Vm(gas)  For ideal gas, Vm(gas) = RT/p so vapV ≈ RT/p  Clapeyron equation becomes dp dT  vapH TvapV dp dT  vapH TvapV  vapH T RT p        pvapH RT2 1 p       dp dT  vapH RT2 Re call dx x d ln x     d(ln p) dT  vap H RT2 Clausius  Clapeyron Equation  Integrating Clausius-Clapeyron equation gives variation of vapor pressure with temperature Assumes vap H is independent of T and p* is vapor pressure at T* and p the vapor pressure at T » This is a curve, not a line » Does not extend beyond Tc p p *e  ,   vap H R 1 T  1 T *      
  • 14. Solid-Vapor Boundary  Solid-vapor boundary same as liquid vapor boundary except use subH instead of vapH  Since subH > vapH, slope of curve is steeper  Curves coincide at triple point along with solid-liquid boundary
  • 15. Classification of Phase Transitions Ehrenfest Clasification  We’ve been talking a lot about the slopes of phase transitions, (∂µ/∂T)p or (∂µ/∂V)T » Transitions are accompanied by changes in entropy and volume  At transition from a phase, , to another phase,  (∂µ /∂T)p - (∂µ /∂T)p = -S,m + S,m = - Strs = -trsH/T (∂µ /∂p)T - (∂µ /∂p)T = V,m - V,m = -trsV  1st Order Transitions (e.g., melting, vaporization) » Since fusH, vapH and fusV, vapV are non-zero, the changes in µ {(∂µ/∂T)p or (∂µ/∂p)T} as you approach the transition are different.  There is a discontinuity at the transition  A transition in which the slope of µ, (∂µ/∂T)p , is discontinuous is called a 1st order transition  Cp is slope of plot of H vs. T (∂H/∂T)p at 1st order transition is infinite  Infinitesimal change in T produces finite change in H Ttrs V, H. S Ttrs µ Ttrs Cp
  • 16. Classification of Phase Transitions Ehrenfest Classification (continued)  2nd Order Transition (glass transition, superconducting to conducting transition) » (∂µ/∂T)p , is continuous  Volume and entropy don’t change at transition » (∂2 µ/∂T2 )p is discontinuous » Heat capacity is discontinuous, but not infinite Ttrs Cp Ttrs µ Ttrs V, S, H  -Transition (4 He super-fluid to liquid transition, order-disorder transition in -brass) » Not 1st order, (∂µ/∂T)p , is continuous » Heat capacity is discontinuous, and infinite at transition temperature
  • 17. Liquid Surfaces  Surface effects can be expressed in terms of thermodynamic functions since work is required to change the surface area of a liquid » If  is the surface area of a liquid, d is its infinitesimal change when an amount of work, dw is done » dw is proportional to the surface area of the liquid, i.e., dw = d  the proportionality constant is defined as the surface tension  Dimensions of  : energy/area (J/m2 or N/m)  To calculate the work needed to create or change a surface by a particular area increment you only need to calculate the area since is a constant  Look at Self Test 6.4  At constant volume and temperature the work is the Helmholtz energy (A) dA = d » As d decreases the Helmholtz energy minimizes  This is the direction of spontaneous change so surfaces of liquids tend to contract  Often minimizing of dA results in curved surfaces
  • 18. Curved Liquid Surfaces  Bubble - a region in which vapor (+ air) is trapped by thin film » Bubbles have 2 surfaces one on each side of the film » Cavity is a vapor-filled hole in liquid (commonly called bubbles) but 1/2 the surface area » Droplet - small volume of liquid surrounded by vapor (+air)  Pressure inside a concave surface (pin) is always greater than pressure outside (pout) » Difference depends on surface area and surface tension pin = pout + 2/r Laplace eqn for sphere the outward force is pin area 4r2 pin the inward force comes from F external pressure   F surface tension   suface tension dw d d 4 r  dr  2  4r2 d 4 r 2 2rdr  dr 2   2  4r 2 d 8rdr  4dr2 Ignore 4dr 2 (small) so d 8rdr dw 8rdr Since w F d or F w d Fin surface tension  dw dr 8r external pressure Fin pressure  4r 2 pout At equilibrium, Fout Fin or 4r2 pin 4r2 pout 8r rpin rpout 2 pin pout  2 r Laplace equation  As r  ∞ (flat surface), pin = pout  As r  small(small bubbles), 2/rimportant » Earlier we saw, the vapor pressure in the presence of external pressure p is p = p*eVmP/RT  So, for bubble since p = 2/r p = p*e2Vm/rRT Kelvin Equation (bubble)  In a cavity, pout < pin, so sign of exponential term is reversed p = p*e-2Vm/rRT Kelvin Equation (cavity)
  • 19. Nucleation, Superheating &Supercooling  Nucleation » For water droplets  r =1µm; @25°C, p/p* = 1.001  Small effect but mat have important consequences  r =1nm; @25°C, p/p* = 3 » Clouds form when water droplets condense. Warm moist air rises, condenses at colder altitude  Initial droplets small so Kelvin equation tells us vapor pressure of droplet increases  Small droplets tend to evaporate  Unless large numbers of molecules congregate (spontaneous nucleation)  Air becomes supersaturated and thermodynamically unstable  Nucleation centers (dust particles, sea salt) allow clouds to form by allowing condensation to occur on larger surfaces  Superheating - liquids persist above boiling point » Vapor pressure inside a small cavity in liquid is low so cavities tend to collapse  Spontaneous nucleation causes larger more stable cavities (and bumping!)  Nucleation centers allow for stabilization of cavity  Basis of bubble chamber » Supercooling, persistence of liquids past freezing point, is analogous
  • 20. Capillaries  Capillary action - tendency of liquids to rise up/fall in narrow bore (capillary) tubes  Capillary rise/fall » If liquid has tendency to adhere to the tube walls (e.g. water), energy lowest when most surface is covered  Liquid creeps up wall (concave meniscus)  Pressure beneath curve of meniscus is lower than atmosphere by 2/r, where r is radius (Kelvin equation, cylindrical tube)  Pressure at flat surface = atmospheric pressure (r  ∞) » Liquid rises in capillary until hydrostatic equilibrium is reached  As liquid rises p increases by gh ( = density; h= height)  At equilibrium, pcapillary = pexternal or 2/r = gh Height of capillary rise h = 2/gr  As tube gets smaller, h gets higher  Can be used to measure surface tension of liquids  is temperature dependent » If liquid has a tendency not to adhere (e.g. Hg) liquid will fall in capillary because pressure less under meniscus  Treatment the same, except sign reversed
  • 21. Contact Angle  Contact angle is the angle between edge of meniscus and wall » If c ≠ 0, then the equation for capillary rise becomes h = 2Cosc/gr  Arises from balance of forces at the point of contact between liquid and solid » The surface tension is essentially the energy needed to create a unit area of each of the interfaces  sg = Energy to create unit area at gas-solid interface  lg = Energy to create unit area at gas-liquid interface  sl = Energy to create unit area at solid-liquid interface » At equilibrium, the vertical forces in capillary are in balance so sg = sl + Cos(c) lg Or Cos(c) =( sg -sl )/ lg See diagram » Work of adhesion (wad) of liquid to solid is sg + lg - sl » So Cos(c) =( sg -sl )/ lg =(wad -lg )/ lg =(wad / lg ) - 1  If liquid wets surface 0° < c < 90° , 1> Cos(c)  0 so 1< (wad / lg ) 2  If liquid doesn’t wet surface 90° < c < 180° , 0> Cos(c)  -1 so 1> (wad / lg ) 0  Takes more work to overcome cohesive forces in liquid “wets” “doesn’t wet”
