(Ch) Chapter 8: Phases And Phase Changes

Front 1

What are the two type of molecular arrangement of solids?

Back 1

Crystalline and Amorphous

Front 2

Crystalline Solids

Back 2

Crystalline solids have a specific three dimensional molecular structure with a lattice of repeating structures

Front 3

Amorphous Solids

Back 3

Amorphous solids like glass or wax have molecules that are fixed in place but do not have the three dimensional structure that crystalline solids have.

Front 4

Ionic Solids

Back 4

Aggregates of positively and negatively charged ions that repeat according to a definite pattern of alternating cations and anions.

Front 5

Physical Properties of ionic solids

Back 5

They are poor conductors in the solid state but good conductors when dissolved in a liquid. They have high melting points and boiling points

Front 6

Metallic Solids

Back 6

Metallic solids are solids that are composed of metal atoms packed together in a very close manner. They are arranged in a staggered manner in which each molecule fits into the indentation of two other molecule below it.

Front 7

Unit Cells

Back 7

Repeating Units of crystals

Front 8

Simple Cubic

Back 8

As the name suggests, the simple cubic is a simple three dimensional cube with atoms at each corner of the cube.

Front 9

Body Centered Cubic

Back 9

Same design as the simple cubic with the exception that there is an atom at the center as well

Front 10

Face Centered Cubic

Back 10

Same design as the simple cubic with the addition of half an atom at each face of the molecule (half because one half is in the molecule while the other half is out of the molecule.

Front 11

Miscible Solutions

Back 11

Two solutions that can mix

Front 12

Immiscible

Back 12

Two solutions that can't mix

Front 13

Emulsion

Back 13

When two immiscible solutions mix they can sometime form emulsions which are homogeneous mixtures of discrete particles of the two solutions

Front 14

What does miscibility depends on?

Back 14

The miscibility of two solutions depends on the the polarity of the solutions. If the solutions are polar they will mix and if they are not they will not mix

Front 15

What kind of process is vaporization?

Back 15

An endothermic process since energy is being supplied to the material

Front 16

What happens to the temperature of a substance as it begins to vaporize?

Back 16

The temperature will decrease

Front 17

Vapor Pressure and Temperature

Back 17

As the vapor pressure is increased, the temperature will also increase.

Front 18

Boiling Point

Back 18

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the ambient pressure.

Front 19

Vapor pressure

Back 19

The pressure that gas exerts over a liquid

Front 20

Where does vaporization occur in a liquid?

Back 20

Vaporization occurs throughout the liquid not just at the surface of the liquid

Front 21

The transition from solid to liquid

Back 21

Fusion or Melting

Front 22

Melting point of amorphous solids and crystalline solids

Back 22

Amorphous solids tend to have a melting point that ranges whereas crystalline solids have a very specific and fixed melting point.

Front 23

Sublimation

Back 23

The transition of a solid to a gas

Front 24

Deposition

Back 24

The transition from a gas to solid

Front 25

What happens to temperature during a phase change?

Back 25

As a phase change occurs, the temperature of the compound remains constant. The reason for this is that the energy that is being added as heat is directed toward the change of phase.

Front 26

What do the lines on a phase diagram tell you?

Back 26

The lines divide up the three different phases. The line that divided two different phases charts out the temperature and pressure points at which the two phases are in equilibrium.

Front 27

Triple Point

Back 27

The point on a phase diagram in which all three states exists simultaneously

Front 28

Critical Point

Back 28

The temperature and pressure at which there is no distinction between the phases.

Front 29

Colligative Properties

Back 29

Properties that depend on the AMOUNT of a solute that is dissolved in a solution and not necessarily the identity of the solution itself.

Front 30

Examples of colligative properties

Back 30

Freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure

Front 31

Raoult's Law

Back 31

This law states that for a given solvent, the vapor pressure of the solvent is the product of the mole fraction of the solute and the vapor pressure of the pure the pure solvent

Front 32

If you were to add a solute to a pure solvent, what would happen to the vapor pressure of the solvent?

Back 32

The vapor pressure of the solvent would go down.

Front 33

Ideal Solutions

Back 33

Solutions that obey Raolt's Law

Front 34

Boiling Point Elevation

Back 34

Adding a solute will lower the vapor pressure of a given solution. If the vapor pressure is lowered then more energy will be needed to make the vapor pressure of the solvent equal to the ambient vapor pressure (which is boiling point).

Front 35

Freezing point depression

Back 35

Freezing is the formation of a lattice structure of the solvent. If solute is added to a solvent, the solute will interfere the formation of the lattice. The easier a solution can form a lattice the less cold it needs to be which means that the freezing point is higher. However, if there is something interfering with the freezing process, like in the case of a solute, then the solvent will only freeze at a lower temperature.

Front 36

Osmotic Pressure

Back 36

A tube is divided into two compartments. One side is filled with water and the other is filled with salt water. The separation between the two compartments is controlled by a membrane that only allows water through. The osmotic pressure is the pressure that is exerted by the pure water side on the other side due to the fact that water will rush into the other side of the tube to establish an equilibrium

What are the three regions of a phase change diagram.
