Unit 3 Test Flashcards
Effusion
the escape of gas molecules through a tiny hole into an evacuated space.
How are volume and moles of gas related when it comes to the ideal gas law?
They are directly related. If the volume increases, then the moles of a gas increases.
Why would a Maxwell-Boltzmann graph be shifted to the right?
As the temperature increases, the curve
flattens out and the most probable speed rises (shifts
right.)
What does the peak of a Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution graph mean?
It means that is the most probable speed
How are temperature and pressure related when it comes to the ideal gas law?
They are directly related. If the pressure increases, then the temperature increases.
CO2 melts at 78 C and SiO2 melts at 1650 C. Explain the difference in melting points.
CO2 is molecular solid and only IMFs are being broken when it is melted. However, SiO2 is a covalent network and covalent bonds require a lot to be broken.
Partial Pressure Formula
Total pressure= Pressure of A + Pressure of B + Pressure of C….
Practice 2014 frq number 4 and 6; 2015 frq number 2; 2017 number 1; 2021 number 7
By what factor will the pressure of a sample of a gas change if the volume is reduced by 1/3 while the
kelvin temperature is doubled?
Using the ideal gas law equation change it to Pressure= Temperature/ Volume. Then the Temperature is doubled and the volume is reduced by 1/3 so it is 2/3. So the equation is 2 divided by 2/3 and the final answer is 3x factor.
Why would dichloromethane(a polar molecule) have a higher vapor pressure than carbon tetrachloride(a nonpolar molecule)?
Typically as IMFs increase vapor pressure decreases. However, in this case, dichloromethane has weaker dipole-dipole and LDFs combined compared to the strong LDFs in carbon tetrachloride.
Retention factor formula
Distance moved by sample/ Distance moved by solvent
On a chromatography paper what solutions will move farther?
The solutions that have more in common with the mobile phase(the solvent). So whatever is closest to the solvent front is most like the solvent.
Distillation
Separates substances based on their IMFs and their different vapor pressures/boiling points
Heterogenous Mixtures
The macroscopic properties of the mixture could vary
Stationary phase
Chromatography paper
Study 3.1-3.3 quizlet
Kinetic Molecular Theory(KMT)
- Gases are in continuous motion and they move in straight lines and only change directions when they collide with the container wall or other molecules
- IMFs between gases are negligible because they are so far apart
- The combined volume of all the molecules of the gas is negligible compared to the container the gas is in
- The molecules in a gas are negligibly small compared to the distance between them
- Collisions are elastic(no kinetic energy is lost)
- Pressure inside container comes from collisions of the particles on the container’s walls
- Average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature
Ethane and methanal have the same molar mass. One of these two molecules are a liquid at room temperature. Ethane is nonpolar and methanol is polar. Predict the substance that is liquid at room temperature.
Methanal is the liquid because both of these liquids are covalent meaning they are either liquids or gases. So, methanol is a liquid because it is polar and harder to break apart unlike ethane.
Solubility
The extent in which a solute will dissolve into a solvent from a solution
Mobile phase
The solvent that the chromatography paper is in
Which of the following would produce the lowest vapor pressure?
a) C3H8
b) MgCl2
c) NH3
d) H2O
B) MgCl2 because as IMFs increase vapor pressure decreases and ionic solids have higher IMFs than molecular solids like the rest of the options.
