Q

proposed a scientific theory explaining Proust’s law of definite proportions

A

John Dalton
-observed that when two elements react to form gaseous compounds they may form two or more compounds with dif compositions. Dalton’s findings with gasous compounds agreed with findings from Proust’s experiments with solid compounds

25
malleable
can be hammered into very thin sheets called gold leaf
26
ductile
can be drawn into thin wires
27
a property that is independent of the amount of substance
intensive properties
28
a property that varies with the amount of substance; depend on how much the substance is present in a particular sample
extensive property
29
density formula
m/v
30
Which properties of a sample of pure iron are intensive? Which properties of a sample of pure iron are extensive?
- Mass and volume are extensive | - density and hardness are intensive
31
monatomic
single-atom
32
ions
a particle consisting of one or more atoms that has a net positive or net negative charge
33
immiscible liquids
do not dissolve in each other
34
distillation
- a component of the mixture (water) is separated by evaporation, and the resulting vapor is recovered by condensation - works as a separation technique whenever the individual components of a mixture have a different volatility -that is, one or more of them vaporizes more readily than the others
35
volatility
-a measure of how readily a substance evaporates
36
the volatility of a substance is inversely proportional to the ____.
- strength of the interactions between its particles - as the strength of interactions increases, the probability decreases that particles of the substance will have enough energy to break away from adjacent particles in the liquid phase and become particles of vapor
37
filteration
the process of seperating solid particles from a liquid or gaseous sample by passing the sample through a porous material that retains the solid particles
38
chromatography
a process for separating solid particles from a liquid or gaseous sample by passing the sample through a porous material that retains the solid particles
39
chromatographic separation
the components of a liquid or gasous mixture are distributed between two phases a stationary solid (or liquid-coated solid) and a moving liquid or gas - the more strongly the particles in the ,obile phase interact with the stationary solid, the more slowly they move - those particles that interact weakly with the stationary solid move more rapidly
40
Which physical process-distilation, filteration, or chromatography would you use to perform each of these separations a. removing particles of rust from drinking water - seperating the different coloring agents in a sample of ink c. seprating volatile compounds normally found in natural gas that have dissolved in a sample of crude oil
a filteration b chromatography c distillation
41

44
neither a definite volume nor a definite shape
gas
45
each water molecule is surrounded by four others and locked in place in a hexagonal array of molecules that extends in all three spatial dimensions. Molecules in the array may vibrate a little, depending on their temperature, but they do not... Thus, ice is rigid at both the _____ and _____ levels.
- move past the molecules that surround them | - molecular, macroscopic
46
Ice is rigid at both the ____ and ____ levels. The molecules in liquid water by contrast are more...
- molecular and macroscopic - randomly ordered and flow past one another - they are still close to each other but their nearest neighbors change over time

energy is defined as
the capacity to do work
54
work is defined as and formula
- the exertion of a force through distance | - 1=F*d
55
the chemical energy stored in glucose is an example of what kind of energy
potential energy (PE)
56
the energy stored in an object because of its position or composition
potential energy (PE)
57
the energy of motion
kinetic energy
58

59
heat define
the transfer of energy that takes place because of a difference in temperatures
60
law of conservation of energy
the principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can change from one form to another
61
If the speed of a vehicle increases by 22%, by what factor does its kinetic energy increase?
KE=1/2mv^2 =1/2m1.22^2 =1.4884 KE =1.49 or 49%
62
diatomic molecules
two-atom molecules
63
molecular formula
- a chemical formula that indicates how many atoms of each element are in one molecule of a pure substance - indicate how many atoms of each element are present in one molecule of the compound
64
structural formula
a representation of a molecule that uses short lines between the symbols of elements to show chemical bonds between atoms
65
condensed structural formulas
- omit common structural components, such as C─H bonds or C atoms bonded to other C atoms - ex: the structural formula of acetic acid shows that 3 of the 4 H atoms are bonded to the same carbon atom - The same information is conveyed in the condensed structural formula by grouping three H atoms before the first C atom in the formula (H3C–).
66
Ball-and-stick models
- 3D representations ofd molecules - use balls to represent atoms and sticks to represent chemical bonds - acccurately show the angles between the bonds in a molecule, but sticks make the atoms seem far apart when they actually overlap
67
Space-filling models
-more accurately show how the atoms are arranged in a molecule and its overall 3D shape, but seeing all the atoms and the angels between the bonds is sometimes hard, especially in molecules with many atoms
68
