The table below lists the density of O2 at various temperatures and at 1 atm. The normal melting point of O2 is 54 K.
(b) Over what temperature range is O2 a liquid?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Determine the phase change temperatures for O_2. The normal melting point is given as 54 K, which is the temperature at which O_2 transitions from solid to liquid.
Identify the boiling point of O_2 at 1 atm. This is the temperature at which O_2 transitions from liquid to gas. You may need to look up this value if it's not provided in the problem.
Understand that O_2 will be in the liquid phase between its melting point and boiling point.
Express the temperature range for the liquid phase of O_2 as the interval between the melting point and boiling point.
Conclude that O_2 is a liquid between the melting point (54 K) and the boiling point (which you need to find).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Phase Changes

Phase changes refer to the transitions between solid, liquid, and gas states of matter. For oxygen (O2), understanding these changes is crucial, particularly the melting point and boiling point, which define the temperature ranges where the substance exists as a solid, liquid, or gas. The melting point indicates the temperature at which O2 transitions from solid to liquid, while the boiling point marks the change from liquid to gas.

Density and Temperature Relationship

Density is defined as mass per unit volume and can vary with temperature. For gases like O2, density decreases as temperature increases, due to the increased kinetic energy of the molecules causing them to occupy more space. This relationship is important for determining the state of a substance at different temperatures, particularly when assessing whether O2 is in a liquid state at specific temperatures.

Temperature vs Heat

Critical Point

The critical point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the distinction between liquid and gas phases disappears. For O2, knowing the critical temperature helps in understanding the conditions under which it can exist as a liquid. If the temperature is below the critical temperature and above the melting point, O2 can exist as a liquid, which is essential for answering the question about its liquid state.

In all four liquid crystalline phases shown in Figure 11.32, the long axis of the molecule preferentially orders along one or more specific directions. In three of the four phases the molecules also lose some freedom of translational motion. In which of the four liquid crystalline phases do the molecules retain the freedom to move in all three directions that they possess in the liquid phase: nematic, smectic A, smectic C, or cholesteric?
