• When we have two phases present, Mr. Gibbs says we only need one property to determine the
state for each phase.
• But, the pressure and temperature are the same for each phases . Did you know that
thermodynamics properties may differ for each phases?
• We need quality (x) to constraint the properties for each phase
I know you are confused. Why tiba tiba muncul x sih? On the board guys

Saturation Vapor vs Vapor Pressure
• Are saturation vapor and vapor pressure the same?
• Nope.
• The saturation pressure is the pressure at which a pure substance boils at a given temperature.
• The vapor pressure of a substance, is its contribution to the total pressure in a mixture at a given
temperature. This contribution is equal to the partial pressure of the substance in an ideal gas mixture.
Exercise
1. Gas in a cylinder undergoes a change where its volume is halved.
Assume the gas is an ideal gas and temperature remains constant.
What changes will it have on the pressure?
2. Are you sure pressure is an intensive properties?
3. Consider a two-phase system at a specified T that contains 20%
vapor, by mass, and 80% liquid. Identify the state on a Tv phase
diagram.
