Period:
3. What temperature are each of the atoms & molecules starting at? (In other words, where
is the thermometer in the sim and what units is it in?) Fill out the table below:
5. Several things happen as you add more particles, what are they?
a. Temperature: (Include initial and final temperatures)
c. On the right hand side is a diagram called “phase diagram”, what is happening to
the red dot as you add more particles?
d. Pressure:
8. What are other ways in which you can change the phase of argon without adding more
particles?
9. Reset the simulation, select argon again and pick one of the ways above that you can
change the phase of argon:
b. Particles:
d. Pressure:
14. Where is the red dot in the phase diagram image of the simulation?
15. Take into account the exploration that you have just done with oxygen in the simulation:
given the following screenshots of the phase diagrams, what phase is each position of
the red dot? (How do you know? Describe the particles.)
Image Phase
23. Explore the simulation on your own some more, we haven’t done water yet.
24. Take into account the exploration that you have just done with “adjustable attraction” in
the simulation.
a. Between the neon and argon, which has the stronger interactions? Why? Use
examples from the simulation to support your answer. (Provide screenshots
here!) *Hint: take both particles to the same temperature.
b. Between water and oxygen, which has the strong interactions? Why? Use
examples from the simulation to support your answer. (Provide screenshots
here!)
25. What are some similarities and differences between neon and argon?
