This document discusses properties of pure substances and provides examples and explanations. It includes:
- Definitions of simple systems, homogeneous substances, and pure substances. Pure substances can exist in multiple phases like water as a solid, liquid, or vapor.
- The state postulate states the equilibrium state of a pure substance is determined by two intensive properties.
- Graphs of pressure-volume-temperature surfaces show relationships between solid, liquid, and gas phases for substances that contract or expand upon freezing.
- Tables of thermodynamic properties like temperature, pressure, volume, energy and entropy for saturated water are presented to illustrate phase changes at constant pressure.
