Heating Curves and Vapor PressureIntroduction – When studying Thermochemistry, you learned about relating the energy for
systems and surrounding and how to determine the amount of thermal energy exchange
between them. However, in those systems, you were not asked to consider the thermal energy
requirements for a system to change its physical state. In this activity you will explore the
thermal energy requirements for a substance to undergo any state (phase) change and will then
further explore the liquid-gas phase equilibrium as a function of intermolecular forces.
Prerequisite knowledge – This activity requires that you are comfortable with the following
skills and understanding. If you need to review this material, the page numbers provided

Changing temperature versus changing state – Most people are familiar with the temperatures
at which pure water changes states. They know that water melts/freezes at 0 C and
boils/condenses at 100 C. In studying Thermochemistry, you dealt with determining the
energy requirements to reach one of these state-change points (temperatures). However,
simply heating a sample of water to one of these temperatures does not instantly change its
state, additional energy is required to weaken or overcome the intermolecular forces between
water molecules – thereby allowing them to transition to the next state.

Thermal Energy
The graph below (called a heating curve) shows that as you add thermal energy to melt an ice
cube, the energy is used to both raise the temperature of the sample as well as to convert the
sample from the solid state to the liquid state.

processes.

Vapor Pressure – In a sealed container at a given temperature, an
equilibrium is established between the vaporization and condensation
processes. The amount of gas above the liquid exerts a pressure called the
‘vapor pressure’ for the liquid.
The boiling point for a liquid is defined as the temperature at which the
liquid’s vapor pressure is equal to the external pressure (e.g., atmospheric
pressure). Hence, the boiling point of a liquid changes as the external
pressure changes. For example, pure water has a boiling point of 100.0 C
at an atmospheric pressure of 760 torr (‘sea level’). However, its boiling
point is elevation dependent and drops to 94.0 C in Denver, Colorado
(altitude = 5280 ft, approximate atmospheric pressure = 631 torr).
——————————————————————————————————————————Model 3 – Vapor pressure curves

——————————————————————————————————————————Model 3– More Information Vapor pressure vs. temperature curves
The relationship between vapor pressure and temperature is an exponential growth curve and
can be modeled by the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation. Manipulation of the Clausius-Clapeyron
Equation shows that the logarithm of the vapor pressure vs. inverse absolute temperature is a
linear function whose slope is proportional to the ΔHvap. Further manipulation can yield a form
of the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation in a two-point form (needing just two measurements of
8
vapor pressure and temperature), see Equation 1. The two-point form generally gives less
accurate results but is quite nice in a classroom setting. The two-point form can also be used to
estimate the boiling point at various ambient atmospheric pressures as long as you know ΔHvap
and a vapor pressure at a particular temperature (remember: the vapor pressure at the normal
boiling point is 760 torr).

Equation 1: Clausius-Clapeyron Equation in a two-point form. P1, T1 and P2, T2 represent
some initial and final set of temperature and vapor pressure for a particular substance.
Pressure can be in any unit as long as P1 and P2 have the same units. Temperature must be
in units of Kelvin. ΔHvap is the enthalpy of vaporization in units of J/mol. R is the ideal gas
constant 8.314 J/mol-K. ln indicates that you will be taking the natural log of the value in
parentheses.

ethyl alcohol.
