Properties of Matter Flashcards
Vapor Pressure definition
partial pressure of gas above liquid in a closed container IN DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
2 requirements in BOILING POINTS
temp at liquid phase = gas phase
VP = atm
enthalpy present in boiling point
enthalpy/heat of VAPORIZATION
BOILING POINT is interchangeable with what?
condensation point
enthalpy present in melting point
enthalpy/heat of FUSION
MELTING POINT is interchangeable with what?
freezing point
What property of liquid denotes the temperature at which the LIQUID and SOLID PHASE coexist in equilibrium
Melting/Freezing Point
Viscosity DEFINITION
what does a high and low viscosity mean?
measure of fluid’s resistance to flow
high = malapod
low = madali
SHORT vs LONG molecules
which of the two are more viscous?
LONG bc they get tangled more easily w each other
relationship of TEMP and KE with viscosity and surface tension
and why
inversely
cohesive forces decrease with more KE
SURFACE TENSION definition
resistance to increase surface area
Exception to general trend in surface tension
Mercury - due to strong metallic bonds
cohesive vs adhesive forces
c = between like
a = unlike
2 TYPES of solids
crystalline
amorphous
