Learn about the States of Matter in this free online chemistry course
Explore the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas and plasma) and learn how to use phase change diagrams to calculate the energy required to change states.
This chemistry course explores the four states of matter and explains how substances change according to the temperature and pressure applied to them. We lay out the characteristics of each state of matter and calculate the amount of energy that can be changed before a substance starts to change state. We also show you how to use phase change diagrams to plot energy and pressure levels, the triple point and more.
What You Will Learn In This Free Course
Introduction to the States of Matter in Chemistry
This module discusses the states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma and how substances change from one to the other. This module defines terms such as specific heat, heat of fusion, heat of vaporization and enthalpy. In this module, you will learn how to calculate the amount of change in energy in takes to move from one state to another. This module also discusses the use of Phase Diagrams and demonstrates how they can be used to understand states of matter in depth.
