Term

In each pair of ionic compounds, which is more likely to have the more negative enthalpy of hydration? 

(a) LiCl or CsCl

(b) NaNO3 or Mg(NO3)2

(c) RbCl or NiCl2

Definition

a more negative enthalpy of hydration = takes more energy removed to go from gas to liquid = weaker intermolecular bonds.

(a) LiCl because Li is smaller than Cs and therefore has weaker London forces

(b) Mg(NO3)2 because Mg2+ is a smaller cation than Na+, and also has a greater charge (even smaller)

(c) NiCl2 same as in (b)

Definition
35.0mmHg (Raoult's law --> Psolution=(molratio)(pure solven equilibrium pressure)
Term
when the vapor pressure of a solvent over a solution is measured at a given temperature, it is observed that the vapor pressure of the solvent over the solution is _________ than the vapor pressure of the pure solvent
Definition
LOWER
Term
when the vapor pressure of a solvent over a solution is measured at a given temperature, it is observed that the vapor pressure of the solvent is _________ to the relative number of solvent molecules in the solution.
Definition
PROPORTIONAL

Definition
when the vapor pressure is equal to 1atm
Term

Definition
the molality of the solute
Term

Term
an awueous solution containing 1.00 g of bovine insulin per liter has an aosmotic pressure of 3.1 mmHg at 25C. Calculate the molar mass of bovine insulin.
Definition
6000 (old SSM p. 212)
Term
what are two properties of colloids?
Definition
large molar mass; large particles
Term
what is the tyndall effect and why do colloids cause it?
Definition
the scattering of visible light in a solvent; because of their large size.
Term
what is the difference between a sol and a gel?
Definition
a sol is a dispersion of solid particles in a liquid; a gel is the same dispersal, but the structure keeps it from being mobile.
Term
how can a stable hydrophobic colloid be made to disperse?
Definition
by introducing ions to disrupt the balance and let the particles interact with each other.
Term
how do emulsifying agents produce a colloid where nonpolar and polar particles mix?
Definition
an emulsifying agent is both polar and nonpolar, so it can interact with both and, by extension, cause the two to interact.
Term
what is the difference between the molecular interactions of gases vs. solids and liquids?
Definition
solid and liquid molecules interact with each other; gaseous molecules don't.
Term
name of an ion surrounded by water vs. surrounded by another solvent:
Definition
hydrated ion vs. complex ion
Term
what two things do the forces of (ionic) attraction depend on, and which is more dominant?
Definition
distance and charge (Coulomb's Law); charge is more dominant.
Term
if one compound has a lower molecular weight than another, you would expect the boiling point to be higher. If it's actually lower, what does that suggest about the substance with the lower molecular weight?
Definition
it hydrogen bonds
Term
polarizability increases with ____________
Definition
molar mass
Term
heavier hydrocarbons will tend towards being [liquid/solid/gas]
Definition
liquids and/or solids (the heavier, the stronger bonding, the "stickier")
Term
interactions between nonpolar molecules get stronger the ____________ they get; between polar molecules, the __________ they get.

Definition
liquids do NOT expand to fill their containers.
Term

Term
in order for molecules to evaporate, where in the liquid do they have to be?

Term
what is the boiling point of any given liquid?
Definition

Term
how does a butane lighter work? the equilibrium vapor pressure is about 2.4 atm.
Definition
when the lighter is opened, vapor pressure is suddenly greater than atmospheric pressure the liquid boils and lets gas escape, which can then be ignited by a spark
Term
the stronger the intermolecular bonds, the ___________ the boiling point will be
Definition
the stronger the intermolecular bonds, the HIGHER the boiling point will be
Term
why are the molecules at the top of a liquid less stable?
Definition
they are at a higher energy - they're being pulled mostly down towards the middle (not being pulled from all sides)
Term
why does liquid assume a spherical shape?
Definition
it tries to assume the shape with the lowest surface/mass ratio - wants fewer particles in unstable states
Term
why will putting a drop of soap in water decrease surface tension?
Definition
it will disrupt the hydrogen bonds that keep the surface tension so high
Term
how would you make paint spread more easily?
Definition
by reducing the surface tension
Term
