Lecture 6 - Effect of Heat on Liquids & Gases Flashcards
What IMF are in solids?
Solids have strong IMF
- they are closely packed with strong attractions
- low energy state
- when a liquid loses energy it becomes a solid
What IMF are in liquids?
- if you add energy to a solid the energy of the molecules increases and the distance between the molecules becomes larger and can overcome the IMF to become a liquid
- liquids are flow and take on the shape of their container, definite volume
- when a solid gains energy it becomes a liquid
What IMF are in gases?
Gases have high energy
- weak IMF
- almost no attraction to one another
What happens when heat (energy) is added to a substance?
The heat increases the distance between the molecules and overcome the IMF.
-molecules with more energy will move away from other molecules.
What type of motion is vibrational motion?
Bending, stretching
What type of motion is rotational motion?
rotating, spinning
What type of motion is translational motion?
Linear - from point A to point B
Is kinetic energy uniform through a liquid?
NO! some particles may have more KE (more movement) and some particles may have less KE (less movement) within the liquid. The particles with the most KE may be able to jump out of the liquid phase and into the gaseous phase.
Take home point: KE is not uniform for all molecules within a liquid.
What is the average KE of molecules in a liquid called?
Temperature
What is temperature?
the average KE of molecules in a liquid
What is the average KE of molecules in a liquid called?
Temperature
What is does it mean to say a volatile gas/liquid?
It means that it liquid can exist in the vaporized state.
You increase the vapor by increasing the heat.
Or you can increase the vapor by choosing a liquid with weaker IMF.
Are oxygen and nitrogen volatile gases?
No! They exist naturally as a gas and need to cooled to freezing temps to be a liquid form. therefore they are not volatile because they do not exist as both a liquid and a gas at the same temp.
What is the relationship between vapor pressure and IMF?
the weaker the IMF, the higher the Vapor Pressure
What is room temp?
20 degrees C
What is body temp?
37 degrees C
What is temperature?
-thermal state of a substance which determines whether it will give heat to another substance or receive heat from another substance.
What is temperature in terms of KE?
temperature is the average KE
Is temperature uniform throughout a surface?
No, heat can form a gradient with something that is cooler and something that is warmer. The warmer one has more KE because the temperature is higher and the KE energy of those molecules bouncing around can be transferred to a cooler substance if they can come in contact with one another
What is heat?
Heat is a form of energy that can be transferred from a hotter substance to a cooler substance.
- the energy is in the form of KE which resides in the molecules of a substance
- HEAT IS A THERMAL GRADIENT
How does heat flow?
Heat energy flows from an area of increased heat to an area of lower heat energy?
-this is called heat exchange
What is thermal conductivity?
- measurement of a substance’s ability to conduct (exchange) heat
- copper/bronze vaporizer housings have increased thermal conductivity
- some substances are better at conducting heat than others
How is heat transferred?
Heat is transferred by a molecule with a lot of KE (energy of motion) bumping into something with less KE and giving that molecule some of its energy –> transferring some energy
What is kinetic energy?
KE is the energy of motion
