Liquids Flashcards
Characteristics of Liquids
Less kinetic energy than gases
Occupy definite volume
Takes shape of container
Denser and less compressible than gases
The measure of ability of a solute to get dissolved in a solvent
Solubility
Units of solubility
Moles/L-solutiin
g/L
g/mL
Factors affecting solubility
Nature of Solute and Solvent
Particle Size
Temperature
pressure
Presence of Salts
pH
Nature of Solute and Solvent
Like dissolves like
The greater the similarity between the solute and solvent, the greater the solubility
Temperature
Solid, Liquid
Endothermic: ↑ Temperature ↑Solubility
Exothermic: ↓Temperature ↑Solubility
Gas: ↑Temperature ↓Solubility
Particle Size
↑ Particle Size
↓ Surface Area
↑ Solubility
Pressure
Solid, Liquid
The effects of pressure changes on the solubility of solids and liquids are smalle
Gas: ↑Pressure ↑Solubility (Henry’s Law of Gas Solubility)
Presence of Salts
Salting In: + Salt = ↑ Solubility
Salting Out: + Salt = ↓ Solubility
pH
The ionized form of a compound will be most soluble in an aqueous solution
The pressure of the saturated vapor above the liquid
Vapor pressure
Unit of Vapor pressure
mmHg
Vapor pressure of water
25C = 23.8mmHg
Equation relates the heat of vaporization and vapor pressure (Temperature to vapor)
Clausius Clapeyron Equation
Attraction among similar molecules
Cohesion
