Test #2 Intermolecular Forces & Solutions Flashcards
What is intermolecular forces?
Forces that exist between two molecules.
What is intramolecular forces?
Forces that are within a molecule.
Changes in states of matter are the result of the balance between which two things?
Intermolecular forces and kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is proportional to…
Temperature.
What are the types of intermolecular forces?
Dispersion forces (weakest type of intermolecular forces; always present; exist between all types of molecules)
Dipole-dipole force (forces between two polar molecules; the result of an imbalance in electron distribution with a molecule)
Hydrogen bonding (strongest type of intermolecular force; special type of dipole-dipole force; exist between a N, O, or F on one molecule and a H on another molecule.
What is surface tension?
Surface tension is a result from imbalanced intermolecular forces at the surface of a liquid.
What is viscosity?
Viscosity is the resistance to flow. It’s observes as the thickness of liquid, especially when it changes with temperature.
What is a solution?
Homogenenous mixture.
What is a solute?
Minor component of a solution.
What is a solvent?
The major component of a solution.
What is an aqueous solution?
A solution with water as the solvent.
What is a saturated solution?
Contains the maximum amount of solute in the GIVEN SOLVENT.
What is a unsaturated solution?
It contains less than the maximum amount of solute possible.
What is a supersaturated solution?
Contains more than the maximum amount of solute possible.
Define solubility.
The amount of solute that CAN BE dissolved in a given amount of solvent.
