Surface tension
The forces that tends to pull a liquid surface inward, creating the smallest possible surface area.
Properties of liquids. (3)
Density: more dense than gases; could be more/less dense than solids
Compressibility: not compressible; already tightly packed
Diffusion: slow because particles are closer; random motion; attractive forces; faster temp = faster diffusion because of average kinetic energy
Cohesion
Adhesion
Attractive forces between like forces
Attractive forces between different particles
Capillary action
A liquid is drawn into a thin space due to adhesive property.
Vaporization
Vapor
Gas
Process of turing into a gas.
Gas phase of a substance normally (at room temperature) a solid/ liquid.
Normally a gas a room temperature.
Liquid to gas
Evaporation
Boiling
Process by which particles escape from the surface of a nonboiling liquid and enter the gas state. Slower; occurs at the surface; occurs at any temperature.
Conversion of s liquid to a vapor within the liquid as well as at its surface. Of course when the equilibrium spot pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure. Faster; occurs from within; occurs at some specific temperature.
Both forms of vaporization
Evaporation (5)
Liquid particles must gain energy.
Only the ones on the surface go.
Cooling process.
If energy is removes, particles slow down and solidify.
Occurs b/c of different kinetic energies: higher=faster; higher than average can overcome intermolecular forces and escape
Melting point
Freezing point
Temperature at which solid turns to liquid.
Temperature at which liquid turns to solid.
Both happening at the same time.
Both: same temperature.
Crystalline solids
Repeating geometric pattern to molecules.
Amorphous solids (4)
No particular pattern to molecules.
- melting range: candle wax, silly putty, window glass, plastic
- “pseudo solids”: “super cooled liquids”
- high density
- low diffusion
Ionic crystals (5)
- consist of positive and negative particles.
- elements form groups 1 and 2 with groups 6 and 7.
- strong bonds: high melting points; good insulators of electricity; hard and brittle.
Covalent network crystals (4)
- single atoms of the same element which covalently bond to identical atoms nearby: Diamond
- very hard and very brittle
- very high melting points (strong bonds)
- nonconductors or semiconductors
Metallic Crystals (7)
- Electrons overlapping with 8-12 other metal atoms. “Sea of electrons” “delocalized electrons”
- high conductivity (of electricity)
- malleable: can be dented/flattened
- ductile: can be drawn into him wire
Colvalent molecular crystals (6)
- molecules held together by intermolecular forces.
- fairly weak attractions
- low melting point
- low boiling point
- fairly soft: not hard/brittle
- good insulators
Equilibrium
(Dynamic condition)2 opposing processes occur at the same rate.
Rate of evaporation=rate of condensation
Liquid+energy yields (both ways) gas
Lechatelier’s Principal
If a system at equilibrium is subjected to a stress the equilibrium will shift to release the stress.
Liquid+energy yields (both ways) vapor
Equilibrium vapor pressure
Pressure in a gas due to the vapors of s substance in equilibrium with its liquid at that temperature.
Volatile liquids
Evaporate easily: high vapor pressure; low/weak attractions between particles
Boiling
Normal boiling point
What occurs when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure above it.
Temperature at which equilibrium of the liquid equals standard temperature.
Normal freezing point
Temperature at which a solid and a liquid are in equilibrium.
Molar heat of fusion
Amount of heat needed to melt 1 mole of a substance at its melting temperature.
Molar heat of fusion and vaporization of water.
Hf: 6.009 kJ/mol
Hv: 40.79 kJ/mol
Molar heat of vaporization
Amount of energy needed to vaporize 1 mile of a substance at its boiling temperature.
Sublimation
Solid changes directly to a gas.
Dry ice co2 and I2
