vaporization
triple point
all three phases exist at once
critical point
everything beyond it is a gas because of the extreme temperature and pressure
what occurs on the flat part of a heating curve graph
the temperature remains the same during a phase change
polarity
an unequal distribution of electrons across a compound due to different atoms electronegativities, it creates a partial positive and a partial negative
water is
polar
what type of ions are attracted to the oxygen of the water molecule
positive
what type of ions are attracted to the hydrogens of the water molecule
negative
why is water a universal solvent
it is polar and can dissolve many substances
polar solvents dissolve _____ substances and nonpolar solvents dissolve ______ substances
polar, nonpolar
heating a solution makes it _____ to dissolve a solit
easier
heating a solution makes it ______ to dissolve a gas
harder
gases stay dissolved at ____ temperatures
cool
saturated solutions
a solution has the maximum amount of solute dissolved in the solution at a specific temperature
supersaturated solution
a solution has more than the maximum amount of solute dissolved in the solution at a specific temperature
unsaturated solution
a solution has less than the maximum amount of solute dissolved in the solution at a specific temperature
unsaturated solutions can be made by-
dissolving solute at a higher temperature before slowly cooling it down to a lower temperature without the solute crystalizing
supersaturated solution is-
unstable and can crystalize easily if agitated or cooled too quickly
london dispersion
weakest IMF, are in all molecules
