Fundamental Properties of Matter
States of Matter
1. Solids – Definite volume, definite shape.
2. Liquids – Definite volume, no fixed shape. Flows.
3. Gases – No definite volume, no definite shape. Takes the
volume and shape of its container.
Matter: - Has mass, occupies space
Mass – measure of inertia - from Newton’s first law of
motion. It is one of the fundamental physical properties.

How much heat (in kJ) is needed to convert 80.0 g of ethanol at -130oC
to vapor at 96oC? The specific heat of solid, liquid, and vapor ethanol
are 0.97, 2.4, and 1.2 J/g.oC, respectively. DHfus= 5.02 kJ/mol, DHvap=
39.3 kJ/mol. The mp is -114oC and bp is 78oC.
Step 1: heat solid up to mp (-114oC), remember q=smDT
q1=0.97 J/g.oC x 80.0 g x (-114oC -(-130oC))x 1 kJ/1000J=1.24 kJ
Step 2: melt solid to liquid
q2= 80.0g x 1 mol C2H5OH/46.07 g x 5.02 kJ/mol=8.72 KJ
Step 4: convert liquid to vapor
q4= 80.0g x 1 mol C2H5OH/46.07 g x 39.3 kJ/mol=68.2 KJ
Step 3: heat liquid from mp (-114oC) to bp (78oC)
q3=2.4 J/g.oC x 80.0 g x (78oC -(-114oC))x 1 kJ/1000J=36.9 kJ
Step 5: heat vapor from 78oC to 96oC
q5=1.2 J/g.oC x 80.0 g x (96oC -78oC)x 1 kJ/1000J=1.73 kJ

Calculate the percent volume change as zirconia transforms from a

unit cells are: a = 5.156, b = 5.191, and c = 5.304 Å, respectively. The angle
β for the monoclinic unit cell is 98.9. The lattice constants for the
tetragonal unit cell are a = 5.094 and c = 5.304 Å, respectively Does the
zirconia expand or contract during this transformation? What is the
implication of this transformation on the mechanical properties of zirconia
ceramics?
Calculating Volume Changes in Polymorphs of
Zirconia
58
P.Ravindran, PHY075- Condensed Matter Physics, Spring 2013 : Problems & Solutions -I
SOLUTION
The volume of a tetragonal unit cell is given by V = a2c = (5.094)2 (5.304) = 134.33 Å3.
The volume of a monoclinic unit cell is given by V = abc sin β = (5.156) (5.191) (5.304)
sin(98.9) = 140.25 Å3.
Thus, there is an expansion of the unit cell as ZrO2 transforms from a tetragonal to
monoclinic form.
The percent change in volume
= (final volume - initial volume)/(initial volume) x 100
= (140.25 - 134.33 Å3)/140.25 Å3 * 100 = 4.21%.
Most ceramics are very brittle and cannot withstand more than a 0.1%
change in volume. The conclusion here is that ZrO2 ceramics cannot be used in their
monoclinic form since, when zirconia does transform to the tetragonal form, it will
most likely fracture. Therefore, ZrO2 is often stabilized in a cubic form using different
additives such as CaO, MgO, and Y2O3.

Designing a Sensor to Measure Volume Change
To study how iron behaves at elevated temperatures, we would like to
design an instrument that can detect (within a 1% accuracy) the change
in volume of a 1-cm3 iron cube when the iron is heated through its
polymorphic transformation temperature. At 911oC, iron is BCC, with a
lattice parameter of 0.2863 nm. At 913oC, iron is FCC, with a lattice
parameter of 0.3591 nm. Determine the accuracy required of the
measuring instrument.

The volume of the unit cell in FCC iron is:
VFCC = = (0.3591 nm)3 = 0.046307 nm3
But this is the volume occupied by four iron atoms, as there
are four atoms per FCC unit cell. Therefore, we must compare two
BCC cells (with a volume of 2(0.023467) = 0.046934 nm3) with each
FCC cell. The percent volume change during transformation is:

a. Because we know that we will need to move in the negative y-
direction, let’s locate the origin at 0, +1, 0. The ‘‘tail’’ of the direction
will be located at this new origin. A second point on the direction can be
determined by moving +1 in the x-direction, 2 in the y-direction, and +1
in the z direction [Figure 3.24(a)].
b. To draw in the plane, first take reciprocals of the indices to
obtain the intercepts, that is:
x = 1/-2 = -1/2 y = 1/1 = 1 z = 1/0 =
Since the x-intercept is in a negative direction, and we wish to draw the
plane within the unit cell, let’s move the origin +1 in the x-direction to
1, 0, 0. Then we can locate the x-intercept at 1/2 and the y-intercept at
+1. The plane will be parallel to the z-axis [Figure A4(b)].

77
P.Ravindran, PHY075- Condensed Matter Physics, Spring 2013 : Problems & Solutions -I
SOLUTION
First, we can calculate the diameter of the octahedral
sites located between the 3-cm diameter balls. Figure A5 shows the

r = R – R = ( - 1)R

Since r /R = 0.414, the radius of the small lead balls is
r = 0.414 * R = (0.414)(3 cm/2) = 0.621 cm.
Earlier we find that there are four octahedral sites in the FCC arrangement,
which also has four lattice points. Therefore, we need the same number of
small lead balls as large lead balls, or 10,000 small balls.

Strategy Determine the contribution of each ion in the unit cell based on its position. Referring to
the figure, the unit cell has four Zn2+ ions completely contained within the unit cell, and S2- ions at
each of the eight corners and at each of the six faces. Interior ions (those completely contained within
the unit cell) contribute one, those at the corners each contribute one-eighth, and those on the faces
contribute one-half.

(a) Calculate the amount of heat deposited on the skin of a person burned by 1.00 g
of liquid water at 100.0°C and
(b) (b) the amount of heat deposited by 1.00 g of steam at 100.0°C.
(c) (c) Calculate the amount of energy necessary to warm 100.0 g of water from
0.0°C to body temperature and
(d) (d) the amount of heat required to melt 100.0 g of ice 0.0°C and then warm it to
body temperature. (Assume that body temperature is 37.0°C.)
Strategy For the purpose of following the sign conventions, we can designate the water as the system and the
body as the surroundings. (a) Heat is transferred from hot water to the skin in a single step: a temperature
change. (b) The transfer of heat from steam to the skin takes place in two steps: a phase change and a
temperature change. (c) Cold water is warmed to body temperature in a single step: a temperature change.
(d) The melting of ice and the subsequent warming of the resulting liquid water takes place in two steps: a
phase change and a temperature change. In each case, the heat transferred during a temperature change
depends on the mass of the water, the specific heat of the water, and the change in temperature. For the phase
changes, the heat transferred depends on the amount of water (in moles) and the molar heat of vaporization
(ΔHvap) or molar heat of fusion (ΔHfus). In each case, the total energy transferred or required is the sum of
the energy changes for the individual steps.
The specific heat is 4.184 J/g∙°C for water and 1.99 J/g∙°C for steam. ΔHvap is 40.79 kJ/mol and ΔHfus is 6.01
kJ/mol. Note: The ΔHvap of water is the amount of heat required to vaporize a mole of water. However, we
want to know how much heat is deposited when water vapor condenses, so we use −40.79 kJ/mol.

Worked Example 12.7 (cont.)
Solution (a) ΔT = 37.0°C – 100.0°C = –63.0°C
q = msΔT = 1.00 g × ×–63.0°C
Thus, 1.00 g of water at 100.0°C deposits 0.264 kJ of heat on the skin. (The
negative sign indicates that heat is given off by the system and absorbed by the
surroundings.)
(b)
q1 = nΔHvap = 0.0555 mol ×
q2 = msΔT = 1.00 g × ×–63.0°C
The overall energy deposited on the skin by 1.00 g of steam is the sum of q1 and
q2:
–2.26 kJ + (–0.264 kJ) = –2.53 kJ
4.184 J
g∙°C = –2.64×102 J = –0.264 kJ

Solution (c) ΔT = 37.0°C – 0.0°C = 37.0°C
q = msΔT = 1.00 g × ×37.0°C
The energy required to warm 100.0 g of water from 0.0°C to 37.0°C is 15.5 kJ.
(d)
q1 = nΔHfus = 5.55 mol ×
q2 = msΔT = 100.0 g × ×37.0°C
The energy required to melt 100.0 g of ice at 0.0°C and warm it to 37.0°C is the
sum of q1 and q2:
33.4 kJ + 15.5 kJ = 48.9 kJ
4.184 J
g∙°C = 1.55×104 J = 15.5 kJ

4.184 J
g∙°C = 1.55×104 J = 15.5 kJ
Think About It In problems that include phase changes, the q values
corresponding to the phase-change steps will be the largest contributions to
the total. If you find that this is not the case in your solution, check to see if
you have made the common error of neglecting to convert the q values
corresponding to temperature changes from J to kJ.

Strategy Each point on the phase diagram corresponds to a pressure-
temperature combination. The normal boiling and melting points are the
temperatures at which the substance undergoes phase changes. These points fall
on the phase boundary lines. The triple point is where the three phase
boundaries meet.
Using the following phase diagram, (a) determine the normal boiling point
and the normal melting point of the substance, (b) determine the physical
state of the substance at 2 atm and 110°C, and (c) determine the pressure
and temperature that correspond to the triple point of the substance.
