EFFECTS OF IMFA ON THE PROPERTIES OF A SUBSTANCES Flashcards
depend on the strength of their intermolecular forces (IMFA) because these forces dictate how molecules interact and behave in different conditions.
properties of molecule
the measure of how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure, resulting in a uniform solution.
solubility
It varies for different solutes and solvents; for example, sugar dissolves well in water, while oil does not.
solubility
is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the chemical nature of the substances involved.
solubility
When molecules have strong intermolecular forces of attraction, they are packed close together.
phases of molecule at room temperature
Strong imfa often exist as condensed phase (solid or liquid) at room temperature.
phases of molecule at room temperature
When molecules have a weak imfa, they are far apart from each other and they often exist as gas at room temperature.
phases of molecule at room temperature
Temperature at which the substances changes from solid to liquid under standard atmospheric pressure.
melting point
At this specific temperature, the molecules in the solid gain enough energy to overcome intermolecular forces, allowing them to move freely and transition into the liquid phase.
melting point
varies for different substances and is influenced by factors like pressure and molecular structure
melting point
is the temperature at which a liquid transitions to a gas at a given atmospheric pressure.
boiling point
At this temperature, the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the surrounding pressure, allowing bubbles of vapor to form within the liquid.
boiling point
varies for different substances and is influenced by factors such as atmospheric pressure and impurities.
boiling point
the tendency of a liquid to acquire the least possible surface area, allowing small objects to f bat on it.
surface tension
is like a skin on top of the liquid, holding its shape and creating a surface that allows for small insects and light objects to f bat in it. It’s because the water molecules are sticking together tightly.
surface tension
It is the measure of a liquid’s resistance to f bw.
viscosity
It describes how thick or sticky a liquid is; for example, honey has a higher ______ than water because it f bws more slowly.
viscosity
is influenced by factors such as temperature and the molecular structure of the liquid
viscosity
is the pressure exerted by the vapor (gas) of a liquid when it is in equilibrium with its liquid phase in a closed container.
vapor pressure
This means that some molecules of the liquid escape into the gas phase, while others return to the liquid phase.
