Ionic liquids Flashcards
1
Q
Define ionic liquid
A
Defined as salt in liquid state
=> mpt <100C
2
Q
Applications of ionic liquids
A
=> solvents - charge helps dissolution
=> batteries - good electrolytes
3
Q
Effect of cation/anion size on mpt, surface tension and viscosity
A
Decreases with decreasing anion/cation size (neglibible vapour pressure)
4
Q
Define isotropic
A
Equally disordered in all directions
5
Q
Opposite of isotropic
A
Anisotropic
