एक जार में रखा जल तथा तेल का मिश्रण 'द्रव' अवस्था में है किन्तु इसकी दो पूर्नतः भिन्न प्रास्थाएँ हैं।

भौतिक विज्ञानों में प्रावस्था (phase) से तात्पर्य किसी ऊष्मागतिकीय प्रणाली के उस प्रक्षेत्र से है जिसमें पदार्थ के सभी भौतिक गुण अपरिवर्तित रहते हैं। घनत्व, परावर्तन गुणांक, रासायनिक संरचना आदि भौतिक गुणों के अन्तर्गत आते हैं।

प्रावस्था और अवस्था में अन्तर[संपादित करें]

कभी-कभी 'पदार्थ की अवस्था' (state of matter) को भी 'पदार्थ की प्रावस्था' (phase) के समानार्थी की तरह प्रयोग कर दिया जाता है। दोनों में बहुत कुछ समानता है किन्तु दोनों एक नहीं हैं। 'प्रावस्था', 'अवस्था' की अपेक्षा अधिक व्यापक (general) कांसेप्ट है।

एक उदाहरण से यह बात स्पष्ट हो जायेगी - किसी बर्तन में दो द्रव भरे हैं जो परस्पर अमिश्र हैं (जैसे पानी और तेल)। वर्तन में रखा पदार्थ 'द्रव' अवस्था वाला है ; किन्तु उसमें दो प्रावस्थाएं हैं क्योंकि पानी का घनत्व एवं अन्य गुण तेल से भिन्न हैं।

Governance: Accountability & E-Gov

  1. GS2 Syllabus Topic: Important International institutions, agencies, for a (structure, mandate); Bilateral, Regional, Global groupings & Agreements (involving and/or affecting India)

    अवस्था और प्रावस्था में क्या अंतर है?

    'प्रावस्था', 'अवस्था' की अपेक्षा अधिक व्यापक (general) कांसेप्ट है। एक उदाहरण से यह बात स्पष्ट हो जायेगी - किसी बर्तन में दो द्रव भरे हैं जो परस्पर अमिश्र हैं (जैसे पानी और तेल)। वर्तन में रखा पदार्थ 'द्रव' अवस्था वाला है ; किन्तु उसमें दो प्रावस्थाएं हैं क्योंकि पानी का घनत्व एवं अन्य गुण तेल से भिन्न हैं।

    प्रावस्था साम्य क्या है?

    किसी तंत्र में ठोसों व द्रवों की प्रावस्थाओं की कोई भी संख्या हो सकती है परंतु उसमें गैसीय प्रावस्था केवल एक ही हो सकती है । उदाहरण के लिए दो अथवा दो से अधिक मिश्रणीय द्रवों का मिश्रण एकल प्रावस्था दर्शाता हैं । परन्तु इनमें से कोई एक या अधिक द्रव यदि वाष्पशील हों तो साम्य में उनके वाष्प भी एकल प्रावस्था दर्शाते हैं।

    अवस्था नियम क्या है?

    Explanation: "यदि दो पदार्थ समान निम्न ताप और समान निम्न दाब पर हैं, तो उनके आयतन भी समान होंगे।" सुसंगत अवस्था का नियम यह मानता है कि जब दो पदार्थ एक ही अवस्था में होते हैं, तो वे भी उसी अवस्था में एक साथ होते हैं। यह नियम विभिन्न द्रवों के भौतिक गुणों तथा रासायनिक संघटनों के बीच संबंध का अध्ययन करने में सहायक रहा है।

    प्रावस्था नियम की सीमा क्या है?

    किसी रासायनिक संतुलन तंत्र में स्वतंत्रता की कोटि को दर्शाने वाला नियम जिसके अनुसार स्वतंत्रता की कोटियों का मान घटकों व प्रावस्थाओं की संख्याओं के अंतर से दो अधिक होता है (F=C=P+2)। (P= प्रावस्था संख्या, C= घटक संख्या और F=स्वतंत्रता की कोटि)।
