Experiment 2: Identification Of A Compound: Physical Properties Flashcards
Solubility of a substance
Is the maximum mass ( usually in grams) that dissolves in a fixed mass ( usually 100g) of a solvent at a given temperature
Physical properties
Can be observed or measured without any knowledge of chemical reactivity of substance.
C2h5OH
Ethanol
(CH3)2CO
ACETONE
a substance is considered to be soluble when it achieve.
COMPLETE DISSOLUTION
DENSITY of a substance
Is its mass per unit volume
A substance with a high density has a large mass in a small volume. ( a substance need not be large to have a high density)
MELTING POINT
a solid that is slowly heated changes completely to a liquid phase at specific temperature called the the MELTING POINT.
At the melting point the olid and liquid phases coexist; any lowring of the temperature results in the formation of only solid and any raising of temperature results in the existence of only liquid phae
IMMISCIBLE
2 liquids are immiscible when they are insoluble in each other
BOILING POINT
The temperature at which the vapor pressure ( the pressure exerted by a vapor when it is in dynamic equilibrium with its liquid) of a liquid equal atmospheric pressure.
. It is the temperature at which bubbles form spontaneously and continue to form until the volume of the liquid has bee converted to gas.
. it is the temperatue where liquid and vapor phases coexist.
. The boiling point depends on the prevailing atmospheric pressure
Atmospheric Pressure
The force ( or weight) that a column of air exerts over an area over the earth’s surface.
Intermolecular Forces
Interactive attractions and repulsion between molecule
e.g.
Melting point
Boiling points of substance:
As the the magnitude of intermolecular forces is different for each substance, each has a characteristic melting point and boiling point.
When does one record the boiling point
After discontinuing heat when the bubbles cease to escape and before the liquid reenters the capillary tube. This is the boiling point of the liquid
When should the melting point be reported
As a a range of 2 temp. 1. when the sample appears we
2. when the entire temp is liquid
A range of 1-2 degrees indicates a pure substance.
The more impure the substance the more wide the temperature range.
(CH3)2CO
ACETONE
a substance is considered to be soluble when it achieve.
