Unit 11- Liquids and Solids Flashcards
intermolec forces
attraction that hold molecs together in the liquid and solid states
gas
- assumes vol/shape of cotainer
- low density
- easily compressed
- kinetic energy «_space;energy of attraction
liquid
- def vol, assume shape of container
- high density
- nearly incompressible
- kinetic energy = energy of attraction
solid
- def vol and shape
- high density
- nearly incompressible
- kinetic energy»_space; energy of attraction
evaporation
process by which molecs escape from the liquid to the gas phase
condensation
process by which molecs go from the gas phase to the liquid phase
Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution
as temp inc, # of molecs that can evap inc
gas pressure above liquids
- pressure in gas phase inc as molec evap from liquid
- pressure becomes const when evap = condensation
Dynamic equilibrium
state in which the 2 opposing changes occur at equal rates, so net change is apparent
- indicated by double arrow
vapor pressure
partial pressure of the gas when the rate of evapo = rate of condensation
- as temp inc, the vapor pressure of a liquid incs
- the stronger the intermolec forces, the lower the vapor pressure of the liquid at any temp
boiling point
temp the vapor pressure is = to external pressure
normal boiling point
temp at which vapor pressure = to 1 atm
enthalpy of vap
enthapy change that accompanies conversion of 1 mol of sub from a liquid to a gas at const temp (L —> g)
vap and intermolec forces
as strength of forces inc, VP dec, b.p inc, and deltaHvap inc
liquid-solid equilibrium
changes of a sub from liquid to solid (freezing) and from solid to liquid (melting or fusion)
- involve dynamic equilib
