Phases Flashcards
Liquid vs gas
Less volume more intermolecular interaction, so expands and contracts only slightly with temp change, move in Brownian motion, fast moving molecules with high KE escape into gas = liquid cools
Viscosity
Friction or resistance to motion between liquid molecules, ^attraction ^viscosity IMF, hydrogen bonds=higher viscosity=stronger (water), lower = alcohol, gasoline
Surface tension
Molecules at surface of liquid experience attractive forces downwards/inwards/sideways along surface. Molecules at center=uniformly distributed forces. IMBALANCE=surface tension. ^suface tension ^ability to support objects on surface
Capillary action
Attraction of surface of liquid to surface of solid, against gravity. Continues until weight of the liquid balances the gravitational force (paper chromatography, meniscus)
Phase equilibrium
Equal rate of evaporation and condensation
Dynamic equilibrium
Closed system, opposing charges @ equal rates. High temp=more molecules at gaseous phase, but rate of evap and consensation equal (equilibrium vapor pressure)
Boiling point
Liquid vapor pressure=atmospheric pressure
Critical temperature
Temperature above where a liquid can’t exist above it despite pressure (far right on chart)
Critical pressure
Minimum pressure required to liquid gas at critical temperature (far top chart)
Crystalline solids
3D like brick wall, regular structure, repeating pattern
Amorphous solid
Random structure
Polycrystalline solid
Aggregate of regularly structured small crystals in a random fashion
Solid diffusion
Particles vibrate/may diffuse through (Gold on lead) NOT in strong ionic bonds (NaCl) or covalent bonds in network solids (diamond)
Sublimation
Solid>vapor (carbon dioxide and iodine, high VP)
Melting point
Vapor pressure of solid=VP liquid, heat of fusion (depends on nature of bonds)
Heavy water
Deuterium D (isotope of hydrogen), one proton and 1 NEUTRON rather than just 1 proton
Tritium, one proton 2 NEUTRONS
(Use in nuclear energy)
Hydrogen peroxide
Bleaching and oxidizing agent H2O2
