Melting Vaporization States of matter
Objectives • Explain :- • Melting • The Liquid State • Vaporisation
At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. • The melting point of a solid is the temperature range at which it changes state from solid to liquid • http://www.mhhe.com/physsci/chemistry/animations/chang_7e_esp/enm1s3_4.swf Mc Graw Hill
When considered as the temperature of the reverse change from liquid to solid, it is referred to as the freezing point • When the "characteristic freezing point" of a substance is determined, in fact the actual methodology is almost always "the principle of observing the disappearance rather than the formation of ice", i.e. the melting point • For most substances, melting and freezing points are approximately equal • A pure organic compound usually melts over a range of two degrees or less. • If the melting point of a pure compound is within a degree of the value found a lab handbook it is presumed to be pure.
Impurities and the Melting point • A sample is impure if it has a melting point range that is lower and /or wider than that the literature value. • More impurities increase this effect.

Vaporisation • Vaporization of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase. There are two types of vaporization: evaporation and boiling. • Evaporation is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase that occurs at temperatures below the boiling temperature at a given pressure. Note: evaporation usually occurs on the surface. • Boiling is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase that occurs at or above the temperature the boiling temperature. Note boiling occurs below the surface. • http://www.chm.davidson.edu/ronutt/che115/Phase/Phase.htm
