Solubility and vapour pressure intermolecular forces Flashcards
Polar solutes in polar solvents or non polar solutes in non polar solvents
if they are capable of forming complimentary intermolecular forces, they are easily able to form those intermolecular forces
Little resistance of mixing between molecules
polar solutes in non polar solvents
Polar solutes form stronger forces of attraction with each other than they do with non polar molecules
resulting in a resistance between the two
non polar solutes in polar solvents
same as others
An increase in melting boiling points is likely due to
An increase in the number of electrons (molecular size)
What does vapour pressure measure
Measure of the tendancy of a substance to evaporate
Relationship between intermolecular forces and vapour pressure
Weak im forces = liquid easily evaporates = high vapour pressure
Strong intermolecular forces = liquid doesnt easily evaporate = low vapour pressure
