Physical and Chemical properties 1 Flashcards
what does chemical polarity refer to
seperation of electrical charges
why is it unique for water to have a high boiling point and low freezing point
it has low molecular weight
what kind of reaction is liquid to gas
endothermic
if a molecule has strong intermolecular forces what can be said about its vapour pressure
lower
when does something boil
when vapour pressure exceeds atmospheric
which alcohol becomes insoluble in water
butanol
-too long of a carbon chain
are sugars more or less soluble at high temperatures?
more soluble
name the colligative properties
BP
melting point
water activity
vapour pressure
what is molarity
number of moles of solute / L of solution
what is molality
mass or volume of solute/ mass or volume of solution
why is molality more advantageous than molarity?
it is independent of temperature
equation that gives the equilibrium vapour pressure of an ideal solution
raoults law
what other colligative property can raoults law be used to calculate
water activity
what happens to the vapour pressure of a solution when a substance is added
vapour pressure decreases
what is the mole fraction
number of moles in the solvent
