16
Q

in a closed container,

A

molecules cannot escape and collet as a vapor above the liquid

17
Q

during evaporation,

A

only those moleciules with a certain minimum kinetic energy can escape from the surface

18
Q

vapor pressure

A

MEASURE of tje fprce exerted by a gas above a lquid

19
Q

in a system at constant vapor pressure

A

dynamic equilibrium exists between the vapor and the lidquid because the rate of evap equals rate of condens

20
Q

manometer

A

measures vapor pressure

21
Q

boiling

A

when a liquid is heated to a temp at which particles have enough energy to vaporize

22
Q

boiling point

A

temperature at which vapor pressure is equal to external pressure

23
Q

how does altitude affect boiling point

A

water boils at a lower temp at high ltitudes bc lower pressure

24
Q

normal boiling point

A

nboiling point of a liquid at 101.3 kPa

25
Q

melting point

A

temp at which a solid changes into a liquid

26
Q

crystal

A

particles arranged in an orderly, repeating, 3d pattern called a crystal lattice

27
Q

the shape of a crystal relfects

A

the arrangement of particles within the solid

28
Q

crystals are classified into

A

7 systems

29
Q

unit cell

A

smallest group of particles within a crystal that retains the geometric shape

30
Q

allotropes

A

two or more differnt molecular forms of the same elemtn in the same physical state

31
Q

example of an allotrope

A

carbon

32
Q

amorphous solid

A

lacks an ordered internal structure

33
Q

examples of amorphousolids

A

rubber, plastic, asphalt, glass

34
Q

glass

A

transparent fusion product or inorganic substances that have cooled to a riid state without crystalizing

35
Q

sublimation

A

solid to a vapor without liquid state

36
Q

phase diagram

A

graphc that gives the conditions of temp and pressure at which a substance exists as a solid, liquid or gas

37
Q

triple point

A

only set of condiiotn s at which 3 phases can exist in equilibrium
