Phase Diagrams | The Clausius-Clapeyron Equation [Complete Derivation]

The video tutorial covers phase diagrams, focusing on the Clausius-Clapeyron and Clapeyron equations. It begins with an introduction to phase diagrams and equilibrium concepts, followed by a detailed derivation of the Clapeyron equation, which predicts the slope of phase boundaries between solids and liquids. The tutorial then transitions to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, used for liquid-vapor phase changes, highlighting its derivation and applications. The video concludes with a summary and a preview of solving problems using these equations in the next session.
