hi all,
its been hours that i could not find a decent answer for a 'simple' Q:
during a phase change (say, boiling) the temp' doesn't change, as we all know.
we also know that the temp' is a measure of the system kinetic energy (KE).
im interested to know how the average KE AND its distribution (follow the Maxwell-Boltzmann dist', right?) looks like, both in the liquid and in the vapor.
how can we explain the fact that once mol' go to the vapor, with higher KE, the temp' stays the same?
do u have a plot of the KE dist' of both phases?
same goes for melting...
tnx,
roy
