Term
Evaporation
Definition
escape of molecules from the liquid to the gas phase; AKA vaporization
Term
Sublimation
Definition
phase change from solid to gas that bypasses the liquid state
Term
Condensation
Definition
molecules in the gas phase striking the surface of a liquid and returning to the liquid phase
Term
Vapor Pressure
Definition
pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its liquid phase
Term
Vapor Pressure
Definition
independent of quantity; increases with temperature; depends on the strength of attraction between molecules in the liquid state
Term
Volatile Liquids
Definition
very weak attractive forces between molecules; evaporate very rapidly and have high vapor pressures
Term
Barometer
Definition
used to measure vapor pressure; difference in height relative to vacuum provides vapor pressure of liquid
Term
Surface Tension
Definition
increases with increasing attractive interactions between molecules
Term
Capillary Action
Definition
spontaneous rise of a liquid in a narrow tube
Term
Capillary Action
Definition
happens when the cohesive forces between molecules are less than the adhesive forces between liquid and container
Term
Convex Meniscus
Definition
adhesive forces are less than cohesive forces
Term
Concave Meniscus
Definition
adhesive forces are greater than cohesive forces
Term
Boiling Point
Definition
temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure above the liquid
Term
Boiling Point
Definition
higher at sea level than above sea level
Term
Freezing Point
Definition
temperature at which the solid phase of a substance is in equilibrium with its liquid phase; AKA melting point
Term
Heat of Fusion
Definition
energy required to change 1g of a solid at its melting point to a liquid
Term
Heat of Vaporization
Definition
energy required to change 1g of a liquid to vapor at its normal boiling point
Term
Heat of Fusion
Definition
is 335J/g for water
Term
Heat of Vaporization
Definition
is 2259J/g for water
Term
Intermolecular Forces
Definition
attractive forces between molecules; allow for the formation of liquids and solids
Term
London-Dispersion Forces
Definition
weakest intermolecular force
Term
Dipole-Dipole Interactions
Definition
medium strength intermolecular force
Term
Hydrogen Bonding
Definition
strongest intermolecular force; still weaker than intramolecular forces
Term
Intermolecular Forces
Definition
strength of this determines whether a compound has a high or low melting and boiling point- and thus whether it is a solid, liquid or gas at a given temp
Term
Dipole-Dipole Interactions
Definition
when polar molecules are put together they will align to permit interaction between oppositely polarized portions of the molecules
Term
Hydrogen Bonding
Definition
to be formed, a compound must have covalent bonds between H and F,O or N
Term
London Dispersion Forces
Definition
interactions between nonpolar molecules and noble gases; gets stronger in much larger molecules (by molar mass)
Term
Intermolecular Forces
Definition
the stronger these are, the higher the boiling and melting point
Term
Hydrates
Definition
solids that contain water molecules as part of their crystalline structure
Term
Hydrates
Definition
named by placing a prefix corresponding to the number of water molecules, followed by hydrate
Term
Water
Definition
colorless, odorless, tasteless; high boiling point, high heat of fusion/ vaporization due to hydrogen bonding
Term
Water
Definition
more dense in liquid than solid phase
Term
Osmosis
Definition
process by which water flows through a membrane from a region of more pure water to a region of less pure water
Term
Semipermeable Membranes
Definition
allow water and small molecules to pass through, but ions and large molecules cannot
Term
Osmosis
Definition
passage of water and small molecules across a semipermeable membrane from lower solute to higher solute concentration
Term
Tonicity
Definition
the salinity of a solution
Term
Isotonic
Definition
a 0.9% saline solution; same salinity as blood plasma
Term
Hypotonic
Definition
causes rbc's to lyse (swell) due to osmosis; less saline than blood plasma
Term
Hypertonic
Definition
causes rbc's to crenate (shrink) due to osmosis; more saline than bloop plasma
Term
Osmostic Pressure
Definition
pressure that prevents the flow of additional solvent into a solution on one side of a semipermeable membrane
Term
Reverse Osmosis
Definition
process by which water floes through a membrane from a region of less pure water to a region of more pure water, due to the presence of an external stimulus
