Q

Does n-pentane or neopentane have a higher boiling point?

A

N-pentane has a higher boiling point. N-pentane (liquid) is chainlike -> larger surface area -> stronger dispersion forces -> higher boiling point

Neopentane (gas) is spherical shaped (compact) -> small surface area -> weaker dispersion forces -> lower boiling point

25
Equation for the enthalpy of vaporization at a given temperature (delta Hvap)
ln p = ( /\Hvap / R) * (1/T) + C
26
Equation for the enthalpy of vaporization at two different temperatures
ln (P2/P1) = ( - /\ Hvap / R) x [ (1/T2) - (1/T1)]
27
What is the equation for the molar heat of fusion?
q = n x delta Hfus (where q=heat or energy and n=#ofmols)
28
What is the equation for the molar heat of vaporization?
q = n x delta Hvap
29
What is the triple point?
The point at which all three phases are in equilibrium. Below the triple point the substance cannot exist in the liquid state
30
What is the critical point?
It is where the critical temperature and the critical pressure meet. Above the critical point, it is no longer possible to distinguish between the gas and liquid phases (aka supercritical fluid)
31
Why is solid CO2 known as "dry ice"?
Because the triple point is well above atmospheric pressure. You cannot have liquid carbon dioxide at pressures less that 5.11 atm. So at 1 atm carbon dioxide will go from a solid to a gas (no liquid stage)
32
Phase going from a solid to a gas is known as?
Sublimation
33
Phase going from a gas to a solid is known as?
Deposition
34
For liquids, as the strength of Intermolecular Forces increase, what does the boiling point, surface tension, heat of vaporization, viscosity, critical temperature, rate of evaporation, and vapor pressure do?
``` Boiling point increases Surface tension increases Heat of vaporization increases Viscosity increases Critical temperature increases Rate of evaporation decreases Vapor pressure decreases ```
35
Equation for volume percent
(volume of solute/volume of solution) x 100
36
Equation for mass percent
(mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100
37
Equation for mass/volume percent (%w/v)
(mass of solute in g/volume of solution in mL) x 100
38
Equation for mole fraction, X
(moles of solute/moles of solution)
39
Equation for molarity, M
Moles of solute/Liters of solution | temperature dependent
40
Equation for molality, m
Moles of solute/ kg of solvent
41
Equation for boiling point elevation
delta Tb = Kb x m x i
42
Equation for freezing point depression
delta Tf = Kf x m x i
43
Equation for osmotic pressure
pi = MRT
44
What is a solute?
The part of the solution that is dissolved or is the least abundant component
45
What is a solvent?
The dissolving agent of the solution or is the most abundant component
46
What three types of intermolecular forces exist in a solution?
Solute-solvent interactions, solvent-solvent interactions, and solute-solute interaction
47
What does "like dissolves like" imply?
Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents; nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents; solutes and solvents of comparable IMF's are soluble in each other
48
Define dissociation
When an ionic substance is dissolved in water and the ions that are tighty packed together in the solid become separated
49
Define entropy (S)
It is the measure of randomness and is directly related to the number of ways a system can disperse its energy, which is closely related to the freedom of motion of the particles; Sgas > Sliquid > Ssolid
50
What determines solution formation?
The relative magnitudes of delta Hsol and delta Ssoln; changes toward a state of lower enthalpy (exothermic); changes toward a state of higher entropy (more disorganized)
51
Describe the effect of temperature on the solubility of solids and gases.
The solubility of solids in liquids generally increases with temperature. The solubility of gases in liquids almost always decreases as temperature increases
52
What is Henry's Law?
It states that the solubility of a gas, Sgas, is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas, Pgas, above the solution: Sgas = kH x Pgas aka the solubility increases as the pressure increases
53
What causes decompression sickness (the bends)?
Scuba divers air tanks contain both nitrogen and oxygen (high concentrations of pure oxygen is toxic). As a result, high concentration of N2 is dissolved in the diver's blood. If a diver ascends too quickly (a fast change from high pressure (where gas is soluble) to low pressure (where gas is less soluble)) the Nitrogen will separate out from the blood and form bubbles in the tissue or blood. These Nitrogen bubbles affect nerve impulses, joints, and bones and is very painful.
54
Define Saturated
A saturated solution is a solution that is in equilibrium with undissolved solute; additional solute will not dissolve if added to a saturated solution
55
Define solubility
It is the amount of solute needed to form a saturated solution in a given quantity of solvent
56
Define unsaturated solution
A solution that contains less solute than the amount needed to form a saturated solution
57
Define supersaturated solution
A solution that contains more solute that the amount needed to form a saturated solution and is unstable relative to the saturated solution
58
Describe the solubility of alcohols
The solubility of alcohol in polar solvents (water) decreases; the solubility of alcohol in nonpolar solvents increases (hexane, C6H14)
59
What is the solubility of Vitamins A, C and K3?
Vitamin A is water insoluble and fat soluble; Vitamin C is water soluble and fat insoluble; Vitamin K3 is water insoluble and fat soluble
60
Define miscible liquid
Pairs of liquids that mix in all proportions
61
Define immiscible lquid
Pairs of liquids that do not dissolve in one another
62
List both equations for parts per million (1 ppm)
1 ppm = (1 ug of solute)/(1 g of solution) | 1 ppm = (1 mg of solute)/(1 L of solution)
63
What are the two types of physical properties?
Extensive (mass and volume) depend on the size of the sample; and intensive (density and temperature) do not
64
Define colligative property and list the properties
A colligative property of a solution is one that depends on the concentration of a solute particles and does not depend on the identity of the solute. They are: vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure
65
Equation for vapor pressure lowering (Raoult's Law)
Psolvent = Xsolvent x P*solvent | think of it like after taxes = tax rate x before taxes
66
What happens when a nonvolatile solute is added to a solvent to form a solution?
The VP decreases, boiling point increases, freezing point decreases, and osmotic pressure increases
67
Why does the presence of nonvolatile solute particles in a liquid solvent decrease the vapor pressure above the liquid?
When a solute is added to the solvent, some of the solute molecules occupy the space near the surface of the liquid. As a result, the number of solvent molecules near the surface decreases that is, the rate at which the solvent molecules in the liquid can escape into the gas phase decreases. As a result, the vapor pressure of the solvent escaping from a solution should be smaller than the vapor pressure of the pure solvent
68
Define: strong electrolyte
Ions dissociate completely; soluble salts, strong acids, and strong bases
69
Define: weak electrolyte
Ions only partially dissociate; weak acids and weak bases
70
Define: nonelectrolyte
Do not dissociate into ions at all; e.g sugar
