Chemistry Liquids and Solids Flashcards
Because of their smaller volume relative to ___, liquids and solids are also referred to as condensed phases
gases
Gases are easily compressed to ___ volume
smaller
The movement of a ___ can be defined as viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow
liquid
In other words, ___ describes the internal friction of a moving fluid
viscosity
The degree to which two ___ can mix is called their miscibility
liquids
Under extreme conditions, such as violent shaking, two immiscible __ can form a fairly homogenous mixture called on emulsion
liquids
The particles’ only motion is ___ about fixed positions, and the kinetic energy of solids is predominantly vibrational energy
vibration
A crystalline solid, such as NaCl, possesses an ordered structure; its atoms exist in a specific, three-dimensional ___ with repeating patterns of atoms, ions, or molecules
geometric arrangement
An amorphous ___, such as glass, has no ordered three-dimensional arrangement, although the molecules are also fixed in place
solid
___ are aggregates of positively and negatively charged ions; there are no discrete molecules
ionic slids
The physical properties of ___ include high melting points, high boiling points, and poor electrical conductivity in the solid phase
ionic solids
Crystals both ionic and metallic) are defined by their ___, which represent the smallest repeating units that compose the larger crystalline structure
unit cells
The ___ are the most important; simple cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic
cubic cells
The heat Q gained or lost by a substance when the ___ of that substance is changed by T is given by:
Q = mcdeltaT=mc(T sub f - T sub i)
where m is the mass of the object and c is a constant called the specific heat
temperature
The ___ is defined as the amount of heat required to raise a unit mass of a substance 1 K or 1 degree Celsius and depends solely on the material of the object
specific heat
The total amount of heat gained or lost by a ___ during a phase change is given by:
Q = mH sub L
where Q is the heat gained or lost, m is the mass of the substance, and H sub L is the latent heat of transformation of the substance
substance
The ___ from liquid to solid, or solid to liquid, occurs at the melting-point temperature
phase change
The corresponding heat of ___ (during a phase change) is often referred to as the heat of fusion and is written as delta H sub f. On the other hand, the phase change from liquid to gas, or gas to liquid, occurs at the boiling-point temperature. here the heat of transformation is often referred to as the heat of vaporization and is written as delta H sub v
transformation
Each time the liquid loses a high-energy particle, the ___ of the remaining liquid decreases; thus, evaporation is a cooling process
temperature
If a cover is placed on a beaker of liquid, the escaping ___ are trapped above the solution. These molecules exert a countering pressure, which forces some of the gas back into the liquid phase; this process is called condensation
molecules
___ increases as temperature increase, since more molecules have sufficient kinetic energy to escape into the gas phase
vapor pressure
The ___ at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the external pressure is called the boiling point
temperature
Whereas pure crystals have distinct melting points, amorphous solids, such as glass, tend to melt over a larger ___ of temperatures due to their less-ordered molecular distribution
range
The reverse (of ___) transition, from the gaseous to the solid phase, is called deposition
sublimation
