Chemistry- Gas, Liquids, Solids Flashcards
(48 cards)
Ideal Gas
- hypothetical, stays in gas phase in all conditions
- behaves accordingly to KMT
- low molar mass
- non existent attractive forces
- negligible volume (no/ very small volume)
Real Gases
- does not behave according to KMT
- high molar mass
- attractive forces present
- have volume
Real Gases behave most ideally under
high temperatures and low pressure
properties of gas
- have mass
- no definite shape/volume (expand to fill container)
- are fluids
- low density and high comprehensibility
- diffuse (mix) very easily
- exerts pressure on its surroundings
- pressure of gas depends on its temperature
Properties of Liquids
- largely dependent upon intermolecular forces (solids- highest van der waals forces)
- relatively high density
- can’t be compressed, have definite volume
- diffuse easily
- exhibit surface tension and capillary action
surface tension
a force that tends to pull adjacent parts of a liquid’s surface together, decreasing surface area to the smallest possible size
capillary action
spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube
cohesive forces
intermolecular forces among the molecules of the liquid
adhesive forces
- forces between the liquid molecules and the container
- water has more adhesive forces
viscosity
- measure of a liquid’s resistance to flow
- liquids with larges intermolecular forces or molecular complexity tend to be highly viscosous
properties of solids
- definite shape and volume
- high density
- incompressible
- low rate of diffusion
- exists as crystal lattices (definite melting point)
crystalline
- well organized
- definite melting point
- ex. SiO2 (quartz), diamond, salt, sugar, graphite
Amorphous
- no organization
- range of melting point
- plastic, SiO2 (glass), silicon
ionic solids
- large networks of cations and anions
- highly organized
- high melting point
- conducts electricity as liquids and when aqueous (ions must be free)
- generally soluble in water
- form electrolytic solutions when dissolved in water
- ex. ammonium carbonate
molecular solids
- covalently bonded molecules held together by intermolecular forces
- low melting point (25 C to 300 C)
- do not conduct electricity (no charge)
- ex. ice, glucose, iodine, sulfur (S8)
network covalent solids
- large network of covalently conded atoms
- highly organized
- high melting point (300 C)
- generally not conductive of electricity (exception: graphite)
metallic solids
- sea of shared, mobile electrons
- conducts electricity
- high melting point (1500 C)
- alloys, elements
exothermic
- releases heat/energy
- causes molecules to move slowly
- gas to liquid to solid
endothermic
- requires heat/energy
- causes molecules to move quickly
- solid to liquid to gas
dynamic equilibrium
- phase changes are always at equilibrium
- ex. S L rate of melting = rate of freezing
vapor pressure
- pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with the liquid phase at a given temperature
- high temp, high vapor pressure
volatile
high vapor pressure (low boiling point)
nonvolatile
low vapor pressure
boiling point
- the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure
- water doesn’t always have to boil at 100 C
