Chapter 15
How does the vapor pressure of water compare with most volatile liquids? | Vapor pressure of water is significantly lower |
What is volatile liquids? | gasoline; goes into gas form easily |
What is the best way to determine if a solution is an electrolyte? | does it conduct electricity |
If electricity is not conducted through a solid compound but is conducted when the solid is dissolved(molten) what is the compound? | electrolyte |
Why does ice float on liquid water? | hydrogen bonding causes water molecules in ice to be held apart in an orderly arrangement |
How are water molecules arranged in ice? | in a framework of hexagonal shapes |
Which types of compounds are usually electrolytes? (give example) | salts; examples: sodium chloride, lithium chloride, and lithium nitrate; (Groups 1,2,3 + Groups 5,6,7, or polyatomics ) |
What is the difference in O to H(water) and C to H bonds(volatile)? | Hydrogen bonding is stronger among the water molecules than methane |
How does hydrogen bonding account for the properties of water? | increases the attractive force among water molecules; allows water to exist in a liquid state among different temperatures |
How does a suspension differ from a solution? | particles of a suspension are much larger and do not stay suspended |
Why do hydrate easily gain and lose water? | because there's a relatively weak force that holds water molecules within the hydrate |
What effect do surfactants have on water? | it decreases the surface tension of the water |
What characteristic of water prevents water from evaporating too rapidly? | has lower vapor pressure which means that it has a wider range of temperatures |
Liquid water forms small round beads on flat surface, why does this happen? | surface tension will hold water molecules together |
What is the best way to determine if a mixture contains dissolved solids? | place electrodes in the water and observe if it conducts electricity |
What atom in water is most electronegative? | oxygen |
What are some examples of colloids? | smoke, fog, milk, and mayonnaise |
What is the difference between a solution and a hydrate? | hydrates are crystals that contain water molecules while solutions are solutes that are dissolved in water |
What compounds are most soluble in water? | ionic compounds(salts; Groups 1,2,3 + Groups 5,6,7,or polyatomics) |
Interferes with hydrogen bonding between water molecules | surfactant |
dissolving medium | solvent |
homogeneous mixture of water and dissolved substances | aqueous solution |
solute ions or molecules are surrounded by solvent molecules | solvation |
compound that will conduct current in the liquid state or in aqueous solution | electrolyte |
compound that ionizes incompletely in aqueous solution | weak electrolyte |
mixture in which particle size averages between 1 nm and 1000 nm | colloid |
inward force tending to minimize surface area of a liquid | surface tension |
dissolved particle | solute |
mixture in which particle size averages greater than 1000 nm in diameter | suspension |
colloidal particles spread throughout a suspension | dispersed phase |
phenomenon observed when beam of light passes through a colloid | Tyndall Effect |
chaotic movement of colloidal particles | Brownian motion |
colloid of a liquid in a liquid | emulsion |
