Q

What IMF are in solids?

A

Solids have strong IMF

  • they are closely packed with strong attractions
  • low energy state
  • when a liquid loses energy it becomes a solid

Q

What IMF are in liquids?

A
  • if you add energy to a solid the energy of the molecules increases and the distance between the molecules becomes larger and can overcome the IMF to become a liquid
  • liquids are flow and take on the shape of their container, definite volume
  • when a solid gains energy it becomes a liquid

Q

What happens when heat (energy) is added to a substance?

A

The heat increases the distance between the molecules and overcome the IMF.
-molecules with more energy will move away from other molecules.

Q

Is kinetic energy uniform through a liquid?

A

NO! some particles may have more KE (more movement) and some particles may have less KE (less movement) within the liquid. The particles with the most KE may be able to jump out of the liquid phase and into the gaseous phase.
Take home point: KE is not uniform for all molecules within a liquid.

Q

What is does it mean to say a volatile gas/liquid?

A

It means that it liquid can exist in the vaporized state.
You increase the vapor by increasing the heat.
Or you can increase the vapor by choosing a liquid with weaker IMF.

Q

Are oxygen and nitrogen volatile gases?

A

No! They exist naturally as a gas and need to cooled to freezing temps to be a liquid form. therefore they are not volatile because they do not exist as both a liquid and a gas at the same temp.

Q

Is temperature uniform throughout a surface?

A

No, heat can form a gradient with something that is cooler and something that is warmer. The warmer one has more KE because the temperature is higher and the KE energy of those molecules bouncing around can be transferred to a cooler substance if they can come in contact with one another

152
Q

33 ft H20 = _______ meters underwater = _______ atmospheres

A

33 ft H2O = 10 meters underwater = 2 atmospheres

153
Q

66 ft H2O = ________ meters underwater = ________ atmospheres

157
Q

As altitude increases, then _______ decreases.

A

As altitude increases then atmospheric pressure decreases.

158
Q

A

As altitude increases, the partial pressure of oxygen and nitrogen decrease.

159
Q

What is dew point?

A

Dew Point is the temperature at which the water vapor in the air will begin to condensate and precipitate out.

160
Q

A higher dew point means there is more or less moisture in the air?

A

A higher dew point means there is more moisture in the air.

161
Q

A lower dew point means there is more or less moisture in the air?

A

A lower dew point means there is less moisture in the air.

162
Q

For dew point, if there is more moisture in the air then the chances of water vapor molecules dropping into the liquid phase (condensing) is _________.

A

For dew point, if there is more moisture in the air than the chances of water vapor molecules dropping into the liquid phase (condensing) is greater.

163
Q

Dew point is the temperature at which water vapor in the air will begin to do what two things?

A

Dew point is the temperature at which the water vapor in the air will begin to condensate and precipitate out.

164
Q

If water vapor can condense at really high temps (70 F), then air must be more/less laden with water?

A

If water vapor can condense at really high temps (70 F), then air must be more laden with water.

165
Q

A higher dew point means at a higher temp, water can still condense so the air must be pretty loaded with water.

A

A higher dew point means at a higher temp, water can still condense so the air must be pretty loaded with water.

166
Q

atmospheric pressure is….

A

atmospheric pressure
-earth’s atmosphere is composed of air molecules
-these molecules are pulled towards the ground by gravity
-the weight of these air molecules pushes against us
at sea level there is enough atm air pressure to shift the mercury up the column a distance of 760 mm. Thus, atm pressure at sea level is 760 mmHg.

167
Q

is the term barometric pressure the same as atmospheric pressure?

A

yes barometric pressure is the same as atmospheric pressure

168
Q

what is ambient pressure?

A

ambient pressure is the pressure of the surrounding medium (i.e. gas, liquid) on you (or an object)

  • if you are in air, the then ambient pressure = atm
  • if you are underwater, then ambient pressure = atm + water (hydrostatic) pressure
169
Q

if you are in the air, does ambient pressure = atmospheric pressure

A

YES, when you are in the air ambient pressure = atmospheric pressure

170
Q

if you are underwater, then what does ambient pressure =

A

if you are underwater, then ambient pressure = atmospheric pressure + water (hydrostatic) pressure

171
Q

What does Dalton’s law state?

A

Dalton’s law states the total pressure of a gas is equal to the sum of the pressures of the individual gases in a mixture

172
Q

What does Dalton’s law state in formula form?

A

P1 + P2 + P3 +Pn = Ptotal
