Key Concepts

Vapor Pressure

Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its liquid at a given temperature. It is crucial for determining the conditions needed to maintain the liquid phase, since a pressure above the vapor pressure is required to prevent the liquid from boiling.

Phase Diagram

A phase diagram is a graphical representation that maps the conditions of temperature and pressure under which different phases (solid, liquid, gas) of a pure substance exist. It is used to determine the state of a substance at any given set of conditions and to understand the transitions between phases.

Phase Boundaries

Phase boundaries are the lines on a phase diagram that separate regions corresponding to different phases. They indicate the specific pairs of temperature and pressure at which two phases are in equilibrium, such as where a substance changes from liquid to gas or solid to liquid.

Triple Point

The triple point is a unique point on the phase diagram where all three phases—solid, liquid, and gas—coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. It serves as an important reference, marking the precise conditions under which the three phases meet.

Critical Point

The critical point marks the end of the liquid-gas phase boundary on the phase diagram. Beyond this point, the physical properties of the liquid and gas phases become indistinguishable, and the substance exists in a supercritical fluid state.
