Liquids and Solids Flashcards
dynamic equilibrium
exist in closed space between liquids and solids; the rate of evaporation = the rate of condensation
vapor pressure
the pressure exerted by gaseous water molecules in a liquid, dependent on temperature only
boiling point
when the vapor pressure = the surface pressure
normal boiling point
boiling point at 1 atm of pressure
melting point
when the energy is increased enough for the bonds to be overcome, proportional to the strengths of bonds
ionic solids
1.high melting points 2.decompose instead of melt
hydroxides
metal oxide and water: 2NaOH(s) > Na2O(s) + H2O(l)
carbonates
metal oxide and carbon dioxide: CaCO3(s) > CaO(s) + CO2(g)
chlorates
chloride salt and oxygen: 2KClO3(s) > 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g)
molecular solids
1.high molecular masses 2.low melting points 3.sublimation
density of solid water
0.99987 g/mL
density of liquid water
1.000 g/mL
covalent network solids
1.strong bonds 2.hard melting points 3. nonmetals 4.ex: graphite, diamond, quartz, silicon
amourphous solids
1.lack crystalline structure 2.no distinct melting point 3.ex: glass, wax, plastic
simple cubic
carbon, silicon
