Unit 9 Flashcards
How are particles of solids packed together?**
More closely than those of liquids & gases
What is a solid?**
Has definite shape & definite volume
Has enough kinetic energy to vibrate, but not move out of position
What are the intermolecular forces in solids?
Much more effective in solids than in liquids and gases
Solids are very ordered
What are the properties of solids?**
1) definite shape & definite volume
2) definite melting point
3) high density & Incompressibility
4) low rate of diffusion
What are the types of solids?**
Crystalline solids
Amorphous solids
What are most solids?**
Crystalline solids, meaning they contain crystals (either single crystals or groups of crystals fused together)
What is a crystal?
A substance in which the particles are arranges in an orderly, geometric, repeating pattern
What is crystal structure?
The total 3D arrangement of particles in a crystal
Coordinate system**
Lattice
What is unit cell?
The smallest portion of a crystal lattice that shows the 3D pattern of the entire lattice
What are the type of symmetry classified by?**
By scientists according to the shape of the crystals
What does amorphous come from?**
Greek “without shape”
What is freezing? Energy? Particles?**
Liquid to solid
Loss of heat energy
Increase in order of the particles
What is melting? Energy? Particles?**
Solid to liquid
Absorption of heat energy
Decrease in order of particles
What is evaporation? At what temperature? Example**
Liquid to gas
At temperatures below the boiling point
Ex. Water in puddles
What is vaporization? At what temperature? Example**
Liquid to gaseous state
At the boiling point
Ex. Boiling water on a stove
What is condensation? Example**
Gas to liquid
Ex. Water vapor condensing on cold glass
What is sublimation? Example**
Solid directly to a gas without going through the liquid state
Ex. Ice cubes in freezer shrinking
What is deposition? Example**
Gas directly to a solid without going through the liquid state
Ex. Water vapor to ice
What is molar heat of fusion?
The amount of heat energy required to melt one mole of solid at its melting point
What is magnitude for molar heat of fusion?
A measure of the attraction between the particles of a solid
What is molar heat of vaporization?
The amount of heat energy needed to vaporize one mole of liquid at its boiling point
What is magnitude for molar heat of vaporization?
A measure of the attraction between the particles of the liquid
What type of bond is water? What type of structure does it have? What are the bond angles?**
Polar covalent bond
Bent structure
Bond angles are 105 degrees
What is a physical property of water?**
Unusual: expanding in volume as it freezes
What is a mixture?**
A combination of more than one pure substances
What is a homogenous mixture?**
The mixing is the same throughout
What are solutions? Example?
2 or more substances uniformly spread thought a single phase; mixture of substances that has the same composition & properties throughout
Ex. Sugar & water
What is solute?**
That which dissolves
What is solvent?**
That which does the dissolving
What is a heterogeneous mixture?**
The mixing is not the same throughout
What are colloids? Examples**
A mixture of very tiny particles of pure substances that are dispersed in another substance but do not settle out
Ex. Blood, fog, gelatin, whipped cream, paint
What are emulsions?
A mixture of Immiscible liquids in which the liquids are spread throughout one another; a specific type of colloid
Ex. Mayo, cream, butter & lotion
What is a suspension? Examples**
A mixture that looks uniform when stirred or shaken, but separates into different layers when it is no longer agitated
Ex. Muddy water, Italian dressing, oil & water
What is the Tyndall effect? Example
The scattering of light by colloidal particles dispersed In a transparent medium
Ex. Headlight beams are visible on a foggy night
What can the Tyndall effect be used to do?
Distinguish between a solution & a colloid
What is an electrolyte?
A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electric current
What is a nonelectrolyte?
A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that does not conduct an electric current
What are the factors affecting the rate of dissolution?
- Increasing the surface area Of the solute
- Agitating a solution
- Heating a solution
Where does dissolution occur?
At the surface of the solute
What does it mean to be soluble?
Able to dissolve
What is there for every solute & solvent combination?
A limit as to the amount of solute that can be dissolved
What is solution equilibrium?
The physical state in which the opposing processes of dissolution & crystallization of a solute occur at equal rates
What is a saturated solution?
A solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute
What is an unsaturated solution?
A solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution under the existing conditions
What is a super saturated solution?
A solution that contains mor dissolved solute than a saturated solution contains under the same conditions
What is the solubility of a substance?
The amount of that substance required to form a saturate solution with a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature
What is the attraction between water molecules and the ions strong enough to do? What is this process called? What are the ions said to be?
Draw the ions away from the crystal surface(solute) & into solution
Hydration
Hydrated
some ionic substances form crystals that incorporate water molecules known as
Hydrates
What are ionic compounds In no polar solvents?
They are not generally soluble
What are liquids classified by?
How they mix
What is miscible?
Two or more liquids that are able to dissolve freely into one another
They are soluble in each other
