Properties of Pure
Substances
Chapter 3
Why do we need physical
properties?
As we analyze thermodynamic
systems we describe them using
physical properties
Those properties become the input to
the equations we’ll use to solve
thermodynamic problems
Pure Substance
In Chemistry you defined a pure
substance as an element or a
compound
Something that can not be separated
In Thermodynamics we’ll define it as
something that has a fixed chemical
composition throughout
Examples
Ice in equilibrium
with pure water
Air
Air in equilibrium
with liquid air is
not a pure
substance – Why?
Phases of Pure Substances
We all have a pretty good idea of what
the three phases of matter are, but a
quick review will help us understand
the phase change process
Solid
Long range order
Three dimensional
pattern
Large attractive
forces between
atoms or molecules
The atoms or
molecules are in
constant motion –
they vibrate in place
The higher the
temperature – the
more vibration

Liquid
When a solid reaches a
high enough temperature
the vibrations are strong
enough that chunks of the
solid break of and move
past each other
Short range order
Inside the chunks the
atoms or molecules look
a lot like a solid
Ex. You only break 5%
to 15% of the water
hydrogen bonds to go
from solid to liquid

Gas
Molecules are far apart
No long or short range
order
High kinetic energy
In order to liquefy, lots
of that kinetic energy
must be released

Solid to Liquid to Gas
On a molecular level, the difference
between the phases is really a matter
of degree
We identify melting points and
vaporization points based on changes
in properties
Ex – big change in specific volume
Consider what happens when we heat
water at constant pressure

State Postulate
The state of a simple
compressible system is
completely specified by
two independent,
intensive properties
State Postulate
Remember that during a phase
change, Temperature and Pressure are
not independent
Property Tables
P - pressure
T - temperature
v – specific volume
u – specific internal energy
h – specific enthalpy
h = u + Pv
s – specific entropy -define in Chapter 7
A word about enthalpy
Enthalpy is a combination property
h=u+Pv
H=U+PV
It is useful because it makes some
equations easier to solve
You could do all of thermodynamics
without it – but its more convenient
to use it.
Saturated Liquid and Saturated
Vapor States
Saturation Properties
Saturation Pressure is the pressure at
which the liquid and vapor phases are in
equilibrium at a given temperature.
Saturation Temperature is the
temperature at which the liquid and
vapor phases are in equilibrium at a
given pressure.

Equations of State
Equations vs Tables
The behavior of many gases (like
steam) is not easy to predict with an
equation
That’s why we have tables like A-4, A5 and A-6
Other gases (like air) follow the ideal
gas law – we can calculate their
properties
Ideal Gas Law
PV=nRT
PV=nRuT
Used in your Chemistry class
From now on we will refer to the gas
constant , R, as the universal gas
constant, Ru , and redefine R=Ru/MW
PV=mRT
R is different for every gas
Tabulated in the back of the book
Ideal Gas Law
v = V/m
Pv = RT
This is the form we will use the most
Relates 3 properties
P, v and T
When does the ideal gas law
apply?
The ideal gas equation of state can be derived
from basic principles if one assumes:
1. Intermolecular forces are small
2. Volume occupied by the particles is small
These assumptions are true when the molecules are far
apart – ie when the gas is not dense
Criteria
The ideal gas law applies when the
pressure is low, and the temperature
is high - compared to the critical
values
The critical values are tabulated in the
Appendix
Is Steam an Ideal Gas?
Compressibility Factor
You can adjust the ideal gas law with
a fudge factor, called the
compressibility factor
Pv = z RT
z is just a value you put in to make it
work out
z = 1 for ideal gases
Principle of Corresponding
States
The Z factor is approximately the
same for all gases at the same
reduced temperature and reduced
pressure
