Chapter 8 - Phases and Phase Changes
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Condensed Phases | liquids and solids |
Liquids | have def volumes, can't be expanded/compressed, disorder, molecules can evaporate and diffuse |
Solutions | liquids can mix to form ____ |
Miscibility | degree to which two liquids can mix |
Emulsion | when two immiscible liquids are shaken to make a homogeneous mixture |
Solids | strong attractive forces, molecules held tightly together, vibrate about fixed positions, dense shape/volume, crystalline or amorphous |
Crystalline | an ordered structure; 3-D geometric arrangement with repeating patterns |
Amorphous | like glass; no 3-D arrangement |
2 types of crystalline | metallic and ionic crystals |
Ionic Crystals | high bp and mp, poor conductivity, no discrete molecules, aggregates of ions |
Metallic Crystals | metal atoms packed tightly, single element, high mp and bp, strong covalent bonds |
Unit Cells | 3 types, simple cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic |
Evaporation/Vaporization | liquid to gas; a cooling process |
Condensation | gas to liquid; pressure forces gas molecules back into liquid phase |
Vapor Pressure | equilibrium reached btwn vaporization and condensation. rates are equal |
boiling point | temp at which the vapor pressure equals the external pressure |
Fusion/Melting | solid to liquid; occurs at melting point |
solidification/crystallization/freezing | liquid to solid; occurs at freezing point |
Sublimation | solid to gas directly; dry ice |
Deposition | gas to solid directly |
Gibbs Function | G must be zero for an equilibrium so for sublimation, Gs=Gg |
Triple Point | point on phase diagram where all three phases are in equilibrium |
Critical Point | Point B where the temp and P causes there to be no distinction btwn liquid and gas |
Raoult's Law | one can determine the relationship btwn vapor pressure of vapor A and concentration of liquid A in soln |
Freezing-Point Depression | Tf= Kf(m); m is molality |
molality | mol solute/kg solvent |
Boiling-Point Elevation | Tb = Kb(m) |
Osmotic Pressure | pressure exerted to counterbalance tendency of water to flow across membrane; high to low concentration; = MRT, M is molarity |
Molarity | M; mol/L (n/V) |
