Q

valence bond theory

A

a covalent bond results from the overlap of two electron clouds. this allows the electron on 1 atom to spend time around atom 2’s nucleus and vice versa

Q

VSEPR theory

A

valence shell electron pair repulsion theory. atoms are bound into molecules by electrons. electrons repel each other. therefore the groups bonded to a central atom try to get as far apart from each other as possible. the goal is to minimize electron pair repulsion around a given central atom

Q

a molecule near the surface of a droplet will experience

A

net inward force

30
Q

surface tension will allow an object having a greater density than a liquid to

A

float in the liquid

31
Q

LaPlace’s law

A

when the liquid is in contact with another surface, this curling creates a pressure difference which is described by La Place’s law.

32
Q

LaPlace’s law can be used to explain

A

why the surface tension on a blood vessel wall will depend on the radius of the vessel.

33
Q

the tension on the surface of the blood vessel is ____ proportional to the radius of the vessel

A

directly

34
Q

wall tension is proportionate to

A

radius (laPlace’s law)

35
Q

as the radius increases, wall tension

A

increases

36
Q

soap makeup

A

polar (hydrophilic) head and non-polar (hydrophobic, greasy) tail

37
Q

monolayers

A

the greasy tails stick out of the surface of water, which breaks down the surface tension of water

38
Q

micelles

A

tails can dissolve in each other forming a sphere. this creates a non-polar microenvironment in the water

39
Q

vapor pressures

A

the most energetic molecules in a liquid have sufficient kinetic energy to escape from the surface of a liquid into the gas phase, and once the molecules are free as gases, they exert a pressure.

40
Q

as temp increases, vapor pressures

A

increase. calusius-clapeyron equation

41
Q

the process of evaportion in a closed container will proceed until

A

there are as many molecules returning to the liquid as there are escaping. (saturated vapor pressure)

42
Q

the temp at which the vapor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure is

A

boiling point

43
Q

dynamic equilibrium

A

when there is a balance between vaporization and condensation

44
Q

aneurysm application to laplace?

A

they are approximately spherical, so the tension on the wall of the aneurysm rises as the radius is divided by two. so, while not a good diagnosis, they represent a physical means for lowering the tension on a blood vessel

45
Q

capillary being smaller will withstand pressure better than

A

larger artery or vein

46
Q

volatility

A

the tendency of liquid to evaporate

47

52
Q

53
Q

How is temp related to vapor pressure and volatility?

directly/inversely proportional

A

directly proportional to both

54
Q

vaporization is an _____ process

A

endothermic

55
Q

the unit of energy for vaporization (Hvap) represents

A

the energy needed to break intermolecular forces and allow molecules to escape into the gas phase

56
Q

fusion

A

endothermic - solid to liquid

57
Q

760 mmHg

A

atmospheric pressure

58
Q

phase diagrams show

A

combined effects of temp and pressure on the state of matter

59
Q

which gas has the highest vapor pressure

A

desflurane 669

60
Q

vapor pressure of isoflurane

A

239

61
Q

vapor pressure of sevoflurane

A

157

62
Q

triple point of phase diagram of water

A

the single temp and pressure combination where all three phases an exist in equilibrium with each other

63
Q

critical point

A

when temp and pressure exceed critical point, system becomes a supercritical fluid… have the flow properties of gases but densities similar to liquids and no surface tension

64
Q

as diameter of a tube decreases, speed

A

increases

65
Q

if an object sinks, boyount force is

A

smaller

66
Q

if an object floats, boyount force is

A

larger

67
Q

as the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid

A

decreases (bernoulli effect)

68
Q

bernoulli effect

A

as the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases

69
Q

venturi flowmeter is explained by

A

bernoulli effect

70
Q

A more volatile liquid has a ____ vapor pressure?

higher or lower

A

higher

71
Q

A more volatile liquid has a ____ boiling point?
