This may in principle be inverted to yield p = p(v, T ) or v = v(T, p) or T = T (p, v). The single constraint f(p, v, T ) on the three state variables defines a surface in {p, v, T } space. An example of such a surface is shown in Fig. 2.25, for the ideal gas. Real p-v-T surfaces are much richer than that for the ideal gas, because real systems undergo phase transitions in which thermodynamic properties are singular or discontinuous along certain curves on the p-v-T surface. An example is shown in Fig. 2.26. The high temperature isotherms resemble those of the ideal gas, but as one cools below the critical temperature Tc, the isotherms become singular. Precisely at T = Tc, the isotherm p = p(v, Tc) becomes perfectly horizontal at v = vc, which is the critical molar volume. This means that the isothermal com- pressibility, κT = − 1 v ! ∂v ∂p " T diverges at T = Tc. Below Tc, the isotherms have a flat portion, as shown in Fig. 2.28, corresponding to a two-phase region where liquid and vapor coexist. In the (p, T ) plane, sketched for H2O in Fig. 2.4 and shown for CO2 in Fig. 2.29, this liquid-vapor phase coexistence occurs along a curve, called the vaporization (or boiling) curve. The density changes discontinuously across this curve; for H2O, the liquid is approximately 1000 times denser than the vapor at atmospheric pressure. The density discontinuity vanishes at the critical point. Note that one can continuously transform between liquid and vapor phases, without encountering any phase transitions, by going around the critical point and avoiding the two-phase region. In addition to liquid-vapor coexistence, solid-liquid and solid-vapor coexistence also occur, as shown in Fig. 2.26. The triple point (Tt, pt) lies at the confluence of these three coexistence regions. For H2O, the location of the triple point and critical point are given by Tt = 273.16 K Tc = 647 K pt = 611.7 Pa = 6.037× 10−3 atm pc = 22.06 MPa = 217.7 atm 2.12.2 The Clausius-Clapeyron relation Recall that the homogeneity of E(S, V, N) guaranteed E = TS−pV +µN , from Euler’s theorem.

The red dot is the critical point and the red dashed line is the critical isotherm. The yellow dot is the triple point at which there is three phase coexistence of solid, liquid, and vapor. 2.12.3 Liquid-solid line in H2O Life on planet earth owes much of its existence to a peculiar property of water: the solid is less dense than the liquid along the coexistence curve. For example at T = 273.1 K and p = 1 atm, ṽwater = 1.00013 cm3/g , ṽice = 1.0907 cm3/g . (2.346) The latent heat of the transition is ℓ̃ = 333 J/g = 79.5 cal/g. Thus, ! dp dT " liq−sol = ℓ̃ T ∆ṽ = 333 J/g (273.1 K) (−9.05× 10−2 cm3/g) = −1.35× 108 dyn cm2 K = −134 atm ◦C . (2.347) The negative slope of the melting curve is invoked to explain the movement of glaciers: as glaciers slide down a rocky slope, they generate enormous pressure at obstacles12 Due to this pressure, the story goes, the melting temperature decreases, and the glacier melts around the obstacle, so it can flow past it, after which it refreezes. But it is not the case that the bottom of the glacier melts under the pressure, for consider a glacier of height h = 1 km. The pressure at the bottom is p ∼ gh/ṽ ∼ 107 Pa, which is only about 100 atmospheres. Such a pressure can produce only a small shift in the melting temperature of about ∆Tmelt = −0.75◦ C. Does the Clausius-Clapeyron relation explain how we can skate on ice? My seven year old daughter has a mass of about M = 20 kg. Her ice skates have blades of width about 5 mm and length about 10 cm. Thus, even on one 12The melting curve has a negative slope at relatively low pressures, where the solid has the so-called Ih hexagonal crystal structure. At pressures above about 2500 atmospheres, the crystal structure changes, and the slope of the melting curve becomes positive. defines surface in space {P, V, T} 11Thursday, October 2, 14 C.

Along a coexistence curve between phase #1 and phase #2, we must have g1 = g2, since the phases are free to exchange energy and particle number, i.e. they are in thermal and chemical equilibrium. This means dg1 = −s1 dT + v1 dp = −s2 dT + v2 dp = dg2 . (2.341) Therefore, along the coexistence curve we must have ! dp dT " coex = s2 − s1 v2 − v1 = ℓ T ∆v , (2.342) where ℓ ≡ T ∆s = T (s2 − s1) (2.343) is the molar latent heat of transition. A heat ℓ must be supplied in order to change from phase #1 to phase #2, even without changing p or T . If ℓ is the latent heat per mole, then we write ℓ̃ as the latent heat per gram: ℓ̃ = ℓ/M , where M is the molar mass. Along the liquid-gas coexistence curve, we typically have vgas ≫ vliquid, and assuming the vapor is ideal, we may write ∆v ≈ vgas ≈ RT/p. Thus, ! dp dT " liq−gas = ℓ T ∆v ≈ p ℓ RT 2 . (2.344) If ℓ remains constant throughout a section of the liquid-gas coexistence curve, we may integrate the above equation to get dp p = ℓ R dT T 2 =⇒ p(T ) = p(T0) eℓ/RT0 e−ℓ/RT .
