As we conclude this exam session, Ben and Morgan explore the essential concepts of phase transitions and phase diagrams, bringing together everything students have learned about states of matter, vapor pressure, and real-world applications. Each chapter examines how temperature and pressure govern phase changes, why water and CO2 behave so differently, and the visual power of phase diagrams. This is the chemistry that explains your freezer, your pressure cooker, and even why freeze-dried coffee works!
