Q

Phase diagram: what is the triple point, critical point?
Draw one out with sections for liquid, solid, gas
What does the boundary line b/w phases represent?
What do the intersections represent when we draw a horizontal line across graph where 1 atm is?
Super critical fluid? What is special about it?

A

Triple point -> temp and pressure which all three phases exist at same time at equilibrium and therefore all phase changes happen simultaneously
Critical point -> marks end of the liquid-gas boundary, beyond this point, the substance displays properties of both a liquid (such as high density) and a gas (low viscosity), liquid and gas phases are no longer distinct = supercritical fluid, no amount of pressure can force it into its liquid phase
Boundary lines rep points at which the two phases are at equilibrium
ex. solid/liquid boundary represents trend in fp/mp and liquid gas boundary rep trend in bp
Horizontal line at 1 atm crosses temp of melting and boiling point

Q

How is the water phase diagram different than everyone else?

A

There is a slight neg slope for the solid liquid boundary line so for H2O, an increase in pressure at constant temp can favor the liquid phase, not the solid phase
Think about ice skater, as blade of ice skater contacts the ice, the pressure increases, melting the ice under the blade and allowing the skate to glide over the liquid water

Q

Characteristics of ideal gas

KE of particles is proportional to:______

A

Two main characteristics: weakest IMFs, smallest volume (so takes up less free space)
Takes up no volume
Particles move at constant speeds, random directions
When collide with wall this represents the pressure of the gas (pressure is ONLY due to collisions with wall), collisions with wall and each other are elastic so KE is conserved
Molecules experience no IMFs
KE of particles is proportional to temperature

V -> free space, not volume of container

Q

In the van der waals equation, one can account for real gas behavior
(P + (an^2/V^2))(V - nb) = RT
The (P + (an^2/V^2)) term takes into account…
The (V - nb) term…

A

The (P + (an^2/V^2)) term takes into account attraction b/w real gas particles
- a increases as the IMFs of a gas get stronger

The volume term (V-nb) accounts for the volume occupied by the real gas particles
- b increases as the size of the gas particles increase

34
Q

Whenever see gas leaving something ;)

Graham’s Law of Effusion:

A

rate of effusion of Gas A/ rate of effusion of Gas B = square root of (molar mass of Gas B/ molar mass of Gas A)

rate of effusion can also be called root mean square (rms) which is the square root of the mean of the square of speed so it basically represents average speed of molecules

35

As temperature increases, average speed_____
At the same temperature, they have the same____

KE is directly proportional to temperature IN KELVINS!!

A

Lighter molecules travel faster bc KE depends on both mass and speed
At same temperature they have the same KE
As temperature increases, average speed increases, but not all molecules of that same gas move at the exact same speed

36
Q

40
Q

Boiling point is (direct definition and simple equation)
Indicate the proportionality or no effect of the following:
External P on bp, and IMF

The less the difference between ___ and ____, the easier it is to boil

A

Bp is the temp at which the condensation/vaporization phase transitions occur and specifically when vapor pressure = atmospheric pressure so the smaller the different b/w bp and atm p, the easier it is to boil
External P is directly proportional to bp (remember phase diagram pos slope)
IMF is directly proportional

41
Q

*Melting/freezing point (mp/fp) is:
Indicate the proportionality or no effect of the following:
External P and IMF on mp/fp

Halogens
ex. Like F2, Cl2, etc they can have dispersion forces to other molecules -> F2 can have dispersion forces with another F2

43
Q

Strong electrolyte -> complete dissociation
like strong acid, strong base
Weak electrolyte -> partial dissociation in water
Non-electrolyte -> no dissociation in water

HF 1<i></i>

45
Q

What happens to electrolytes in water, polar non-electrolytes in water, nonpolar non-electrolytes in water

A

Electrolytes dissolve in water: 1) agitation (stirring which is endothermic)2) Dissociation (endothermic) 3) solvation (exothermic)
Polar non-electrolytes: dissolve - think sugar in water when you have to stir A LOT to get it to dissolve 1) agitation (endothermic) 2) solvation (exothermic)
Nonpolar non-electrolyte do not dissolve in water: 1) agitation (endothermic) and that’s it

Have solvation when can form strong IMFs with water - LIKE DISSOLVES LIKE

46
Q

A

In saturated solution, no additional solute will dissolve

With super saturated solution additional solute causes excess to precipitate

54
Q

_________ atoms and molecules exhibit stronger dispersion forces.

What kinds of E do real and ideal gases have?

A

Larger and heavier atoms and molecules exhibit stronger dispersion forces than smaller and lighter ones.
