Chapter 6- Liquids And Solids Flashcards
Large enough attractive forces to keep the molecules ___
Together
Molecules in the liquid state are ___
Close together
Attractive forces not strong enough to ___
Restrict movement
Liquids are practically incompressible
Compressibility
Measure of a liquid’s resistance to flow
Viscosity
Measure of the attractive forces exerted among molecules at the surface of the liquid.
Surface tension
Substances that are added to a liquid to decrease surface tension
Surfactants
The process of conversion of liquid to gas, at a temperature too low to boil.
Evaporation
Conversion of gas to the liquid state (reverse of evaporation)
Condensation
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.
Boiling point
Temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to 1 atm
Normal boiling point
Is a special type of dipole-dipole attraction
Hydrogen bonding
Is a very strong intermolecular attraction causing higher than expected b.p. and m.p.
Hydrogen bonding
What is necessary for Hydrogen Bonding?
Molecules have hydrogen directly bonded to O,N, or F.
Particles highly organized in a defined fashion
The solid state
Fixed shape and volume
The solid state
Incompressible
Properties of Solids
m.p. depends on strength of attractive forces between particles
Properties of solids
Can be crystalline solid- regular repeating structure
Properties of solids
Can be amorphous solid- no organized structure
Properties of solids
Process of conversion of molecules in the solid state directly to molecules in the gaseous state.
Sublimation of solids
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. It will convert directly to a gas at atmospheric pressure.
Sublimation of solids
Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances
Solution
What is an example of a solution?
Salt water
Contact solution
The component of the solution that is present in the lesser quantity than the solvent
Solute
The solution component present in the largest quantity
Solvent
A solution in which water is the solvent
Aqueous solution
Air is a solution composed of oxygen and several trace gases that are dissolved in the gaseous solvent, nitrogen
Gaseous solution
Homogeneous mixtures of metals in the solid state (brass, a solution of zinc in copper, gold jewelry)
Solid solution
Emphasis on the chapter
Liquid solution
Clear and transparent with no visible particles of solute
Property of liquid solutions
May be either colored or colorless
Property of liquid solutions
May be either a solution of electrolytes or nonelectrolytes
Property of a liquid solution
A homogeneous mixture with uniform properties throughout
True solution
Property of liquid solution
Volume of solutes and solvents are not___
Additive
Formed from solutes that are soluble ionic compounds
Electrolytes
Some ions dissociate in solution to produce ions that behave as charge carriers
Electrolytes
Good conductors of electricity
Electrolyte solutions
Formed from dissociating molecular solutes (covalent bonds)
Nonelectrolytes
Solutions are nonconducting
Nonelectrolytes
Glucose is a good example
Nonelectrolytes
Has only one component (water)
Pure substance
Contains more than one substance, with tiny particles (salt water) homogeneously intermingled.
True solution
Consists of solute parties dispersed through the dispersing medium. The distribution is not completely homogeneous because of the size of the colloidal particles (milk)
Colloidal suspension
Smaller than 1nm
Solution particles
1nm - 200nm
Colloidal particles
Larger than 200 nm
Precipitates
The light scattering ability of colloidal suspensions (headlights hitting the fog)
Tyndall effect
Do not scatter light
True solutions
Have particles that are large enough to scatter light causing the liquid to appear hazy
Colloidal suspensions
Like dissolves like
Solubility rule of thumb
Quantity of solute that can dissolve in a given number of solvent
Degree of solubility
Polar-
Polar solvent
