Colligative Flashcards
In 1880’s French Chemist __________discovered that when a substance is dissolved in a solution, the vapor pressure of the solution will generally decrease.
François-Marie Raoult
a solvent’s partial vapor pressure in a solution (or mixture) is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure solvent multiplied by its mole fraction in the solution.
Raoult’s Law
describes the phenomenon that the boiling point of a liquid (a solvent) will be higher when another compound is added, meaning that a solution has a higher boiling point than a pure solvent.
Boiling-point elevation
This happens whenever a non-volatile solute, such as a salt, is added to a pure solvent, such as water.
Boiling-point elevation
is a drop in the temperature at which a substance freezes, caused when a smaller amount of another, non-volatile substance is added.
Freezing-point depression
The system and surroundings are separated by a ______.
boundary
Everything outside of the boundary is considered the _______, which would include the container itself.
surroundings
Mid-19th-century experiments performed by Englishman __________ and others, however, showed a strong connection between the transfer of energy by heat in thermal processes and the transfer of energy by work in mechanical processes
James Joule
The _______ law of thermodynamics deals with the concept of thermal equilibrium.
Zeroth
Two systems are said to be in thermal equilibrium if there is no net flow of heat between them when they are brought into thermal contact.
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
“Two systems individually in thermal equilibrium with a third system, are in thermal equilibrium with each other. ”
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed in a system of constant mass, although it may be converted from one form to another. ”
First Law of Thermodynamics
is an extension of the law of conservation of energy, meaning that energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
