GenChem8(Phases and Phase Changes) Flashcards
The degree to which two liquids can mix
Miscibility
Oil and water can’t mix because of repulsion due to polarity difference, they are
immiscible
Under extreme conditions two immiscible liquids can form a fairly homogeneous mixture called an
Emulsion
A solid, like NaCl that possesses an ordered structure. Its atoms exist in a specific three-dimensional geometric arrangement with repeating patters of atoms, ions, or molecules
Crystalline Solid
A solid that has no ordered three-dimensional arrangement, although the molecules are also fixed in space.
Amorphous Solid
Most solids are amorphous or crystalline?
Crystalline
What are the two most common forms of crystal solids?
Metal and ionic
Aggregates of positively and negatively charged ions; there are no discrete molecules.
Ionic Solids
What are the physical properties of ionic solids?
What accounts for these properties?
High MP and BP, low electrical conductivity in the solid phase
Strong electrostatic interactions.
These solids consist of metal atoms packed together as closely as possible.
Metallic Solids
What are the physical properties of metallic solids?
High melting and boiling point
The repeating units of crystals are represented by
Unit cells
This occurs when molecules near the surface of a liquid have enough kinetic energy to leave the liquid phase and escape into the gaseous phase.
What happens to the liquid each time it loses a high energy particle this way?
Evaporation (or vaporization)
The temperature decreases
The process where gas moves back into the liquid phase
Condensation
The pressure that the gas from a liquid exerts over the liquid is called the
Vapor Pressure
As temperature increases, vapor pressure….
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the external pressure is called the
Increases
Boiling point
The transition from solid to liquid is…
Fusion or melting
The transition from liquid to solid is
Solidification, Crystallization, Freezing
The temperature at which fusion and crystallization occur can be called
Melting point OR freezing point, depending upon direction
These type of solids have a very sharp melting point
These type of solids have a broad range of melting temperatures
What accounts for this?
Crystal solids
Amorphous solids
How ordered their molecular distribution is
Physical properties derived solely from the number of particles present, not the nature of those particles. They are usually associated with dilute solutions.
Colligative properties
For every mole of solute particles dissolved in water, how much does the freezing point of water decrease?
1.86 °C
What is the freezing point of water?
The boiling point?
Freezing point = 0°C
Boiling point = 100°C
What is Chad’s formula for freezing point depression?
ΔT= -iKfm
A liquid boils when…
Vapor Pressure equals atmospheric pressure
What is Chad’s formula for boiling point elevation
ΔT= iKbm
