evaporation
vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid that is not boiling
boiling
vaporization throughout the liquid when vapor pressure is equal to the outside pressure
boiling point
the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is just equal to the external pressure on the liquid
normal boiling point
the boiling point of a liquid at a pressure of 101.3 kPa or 1atm
solvation
a process that occurs when an ionic solute dissolves
what happens when things dissolve in a solution
solvent molecules surround the positive and negative ions
vapor pressure
a measure of the force exerted by a gas above a liquid in a sealed container
a dynamic equilibrium exists between the vapor and the liquid
surface tension
an inward force that tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid
it causes the surface to behave as if it were a thin skin
solution
a homogeneous mixture, consists of solutes dissolved in a solvent
solvent
the dissolving medium in a solution
solute
dissolved particles in a solution
soluble
tendency to dissolve in a specific amount of solvent at a specified temperature and presssure
insoluble
tendency not to dissolve
diple
a molecule that has two poles, or regions, with opposite charges
miscible
describes liquids that dissolve in one another in all proportions
immiscible
describes liquids that are insoluble in one another
example of immiscible
oil and water
saturated
maximum amount of solution
unsaturated
less than maximum amount of solution
supersaturated
more solute than it can hold at a given temperature
two biggest differences between a liquid and a gas
the particles are farther apart in a liquid
intermolecular forces important in a liquid, negligible in a gas
what happens to a liquid as it evaporates
average kinetic energy goes up, intermolecular forces are broken from the surface and some particles turn into a gas
what happens to the temperature of a liquid as it evaporates
it goes down
what affects the rate of evaporation? How and why?
heating speeds it up because the kinetic energy of the particles increases
