Substances change

Chemistry deals with all of the substances that make up our environment. It also deals with the changes that take place in these substances— changes that make the difference between a cold and lifeless planet and one that teems with life and growth. Chemistry helps us understand and benefit from nature s wondrous ways. 

The enthalpy of vaporization of most substances changes little with temperature. 

Figure 7.3 shows how the entropy of a substance changes as it is heated through a temperature range in which it has a constant heat capacity. 

The entropy of vaporization, ASvap, is the change in entropy per mole of molecules when a substance changes from a liquid into a vapor. The heat required per mole to vaporize the liquid at constant pressure is equal to the enthalpy of vaporization (A//vap, Section 6.11). It then follows from Eq. 1, by setting = AH, that the entropy of vaporization at the normal boiling point is...

In general, the heat capacity of any substance changes with change in temperature. Thus in a reaction, the heat capacities of reactants and products change with variation in temperature and this change results in change of AH values for reactions as the temperature varies. For example, in the generalized typical reaction shown below,... 

Under what circumstances does addition of heat to a system cause no rise in temperature Ans. If the system is a pure substance changing phase, no rise in temperature occurs. 

A knowledge of chemical bonds is important to help us to understand chemical reactions. In a chemical reaction, bonds are broken and new bonds are formed. During this process the total energy of the substances changes. For example, the energy of a molecule is generally less than that of the individual atoms that make up the molecule. 

The volume of a substance changes with the temperature, thus affecting its density. When determining the density of a substance, the temperature should also be measured and recorded. It is generally reported along with the density value in one of the following formats ... 

If you hold a chocolate bar in your hand, after a few minutes you ll have a gooey (but delicious ) mess in your hands.What happened and why All matter can I exist in three different states solid, liquid, and gas. When a substance changes from one of these states to another, it is called a change of state or phase change. 

When you add heat to a substance, the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance increases. If enough energy is added, the particles overcome the attractive forces holding the particles together and the substance changes state—from a solid to a liquid, or even to a gas. As this happens, the movement of the particles becomes more random. By contrast, as substances lose heat, the interactions between particles increases and the particles become more ordered. 

So far, we have noted that chemistry involves the composition and structure of matter. But beyond knowing what the composition of matter is and how the pieces fit together, chemistry is about how matter changes from one substance to another. When we refer to chemical change, we mean that the composition of matter has changed. A chemical change occurs when a substance or substances change into other substances. 

Chemical reactions involve the interaction of the outer electrons of substances. As one substance changes into another, chemical bonds are broken and created as atoms rearrange. Atomic nuclei are not directly involved in chemical reactions, but they play a critical role in the behavior of matter. Typical chemical reactions involve the interaction of electrons in atoms, but nuclear reactions involve the atom s nucleus. The nucleus contains most of the atom s mass but occupies only a small fraction of its volume. Electrons have only about 1/2000 the mass of a nucleon. To put this in perspective, consider that if the nucleus were the size of a baseball, the mean distance to the nearest electrons would be over two miles. 

Chemical Affinity the tendency of particular atoms to bond to each other Chemical Change a transformation in which one substance changes into another, as opposed to a physical change Chemical Element a pure substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance by chemical means... 

Heat of Transition is the quantity of heat liberated or absorbed when a substance changes from one allotropic crystal form to another... 

Plato s elements can be interconverted because of the geometric commonalities of their atoms . For Anaxagoras, all material substances are mixtures of all four elements, so one substance changes to another by virtue of the growth in proportion of one or more elements and the corresponding diminution of the others. This view of matter as intimate blends of elements is central to the antiquated elementary theories, and is one of the stark contrasts with the modern notion of an element as a fundamental substance that can be isolated and purified. 

It is probable that the compound described is not the tri-derivative but impure tetrapyridino-ferrous chloride, for Costacheseu and Spacu 4 claim to have isolated, in a pure state, a yellow crystalline body of composition [Fe(C5H5N)4]Cl2 by the interaction of ferrous chloride and excess of pyridine in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide at —15° C. The substance changes quickly on exposure to air and is decomposed by water. 

Explain the occurring phenomena on the basis of the law of meiss action. Will equilibrium be shifted if the obtained solutions are diluted The concentration of what substance changes from one experiment to another, and how many times What conclusion should be made from the results obtained ... 

These examples can now be summarized. Solid substances which can always occur at low temperatures can be transferred, by different processes, into other states as a rule, the molecules are first dissociated from one another this process happens in evaporation, and when the solid substance changes directly into vapour this is called sublimation. At still higher temperatures, the single molecules will dissociate into atoms or molecules of the elements which compose them. This process is called chemical dissociation. In exceptional conditions, the molecules can undergo an additional break-down into charged particles, or ions. These processes are illustrated in the following diagram ... 

Lowering the temperature of a liquid of a high or low molecular weight substance changes it from the fluid to the crystalline, or the glassy state. Although the... 

Physical change A change in which a substance changes its physical properties without changing its chemical identity. 

Is Section 1.7 discussed, melting occurs when a substance changes from solid to liquid and freezing occurs when a substance changes from liquid to solid.
