Abstract
A classroom exercise for upper-level undergraduate physical chemistry instruction is presented that aims at the development of an intuitive understanding of PVT phase behavior of fluids. The classroom activity involves a group exercise over several classroom periods where students are required to construct 2D phase representations from a provided PVT block model. The broader implications of the classroom exercise are discussed.
