It explains phase diagrams, highlighting the states of matter—solid, liquid, gas—related to temperature and pressure, including melting, boiling points, and the triple point. Additionally, it notes that increased pressure generally leads to solids becoming liquids and describes the sublimation process where solids convert directly to gases.

It also defines hydrocarbons, classifying them into aliphatic and aromatic types, with a focus on alkanes, which consist solely of single covalent bonds. The text outlines naming conventions for straight-chain alkanes and provides a table of the first ten alkanes in the series.

(If you burn the propane in a very strong container, then the volume will stay the same and the pressure will increase.) When the volume of the system increases in an open container, it will push on the surroundings, like the atmosphere, and do pV work.

The O will form water, the S will form usually SO 2 and the N will often produce N 2 , but sometimes a little bit of a nitrogen oxide. When you balance combustion reactions, usually start with the C, and the fuel, and do the oxygen last.
