Term
A property of materials that is related to the ease with which they flow. It is a qualitative observation but can be made quantitative
Definition
Viscosity
Term
The shape, size, flexibility, forces of attraction, etc. of the molecules determine
Definition
How easily (or not easily) the liquid flows
Term
Force times distance divided by area times velocity
Definition
Units of velocity
Term
The viscosity usually ________ with an ________ in temperature for liquids and soft solids
Definition
Decreases, increase
Term
The viscosity of gases usually _______ with ________ temperature
Definition
Increases, increasing
Term
If the volume of a mixture is equal to the sum of the volumes of the components mixed, it is said that the volumes are ______ for this mixture
Definition
Additive
Term
A form of thermal energy that flows spontaneously from an area of high temperature to an area of low temperature.
Definition
Heat
Term
Two objects that start out at different temperatures will reach _______ when brought into contact with one another because heat flows from the object with the higher temperature to the object with lower temperature
Definition
Equilibrium temperature
Term
Heat flow into a substance causes the temperature of that substance to rise unless a phase change (solid to liquid, etc) is occurring. The amount of heat required to raise one gram of a substance one degree C.
Definition
Specific heat
Term
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree C
Definition
Calorie
Term
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit
Definition
British thermal unit
Term
The space inside a sealed, insulated container. No heat (or matter) goes into or out of the container
Definition
Isolated system
Term
Systems that allow energy to go into and out of them but no matter to go into or out of them
Definition
Closed systems
Term
Systems that allow both energy and matter to transfer into and out of them
Definition
Open systems
Term
Gas molecules occupy negligible volume compared to the empty space between the molecules and the intermolecular forces of attraction and repulsion are insignificant. If molecules of liquid water move fast enough, they could break free from the attraction of other liquid water molecules and a gas molecule will form, as long as the temperature remains fixed, regardless of if the water is at its boiling point
Definition
Kinetic molecular theory
Term
Force per unit area or the total force applied divided by the total surface area over which that force is applied
Definition
Pressure
Term
The pressure required to support a column of mercury to a height of 760.0 mm
Definition
One atmosphere (atm)
Term
P is the pressure exerted by the sample of gas measure in atmospheres, V is the volume of the sample in liters, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and n is the number of moles in the sample
Definition
Ideal Gas Law
Term
Maintaining constant temperature amount of moles in a sealed piston, the volume of the sample can be systematically varied. As pressure increases, volume decreases
Definition
Boyle's Law
Term
As Pressure increases, Temperature increases at constant volume and moles
Definition
Gay-Lussac's Law
Term
As Volume increases, Temperature increases at constant pressure and moles
Definition
Charles' Law
Term
The sum of the partial pressures of the component gases in the mixture
Definition
Dalton's law of partial pressures
Term
The sum of the partial volumes of the individual gases that would occupy at the same pressure and temperature
Definition
Amagat's Law
Term
The heat of vaporization of a liquid generally _______ as the temperature of vaporization _______
Definition
Increases, decreases
Term
The amount of heat required to evaporate a certain amount of water
Definition
Heat of vaporization of water
Term
The temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid
Definition
Boiling point of a liquid
Term
The temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to 760 mm Hg
Definition
Normal Boiling point of a liquid
Term
Liquids can be heated to a temperature above their boiling point and yet no boiling occurs
Definition
Superheating
Term
Arises from conflict between attractive energy (enthalpy) and tendency toward disorder (entropy)
Definition
Supercooling
Term
Solids at room temperature, but do not exist as discrete molecules
Definition
Ionic compounds
Term
Formed by the reaction of non-metals with non-metals
Definition
Covalent compounds
Term
Exist as discrete molecules. Can exist as solids, liquids, or gases at room temperature (NO, SO3, CH4, PCl3)
Definition
Molecular covalent compounds
Term
Do not exist discrete molecules. All the atoms are bound together to make a giant molecules. Always solids at room temperature. (SiC and SiO2)
Definition
Network covalent compounds
Term
Metals do not react with other metals to form compounds. They form mixtures with each other
Definition
Alloys
Term
Forces between the atoms in the molecule
Definition
Intramolecular forces
Term
Forces between different molecules
Definition
Intermolecular forces
Term
The force of attraction between two oppositely charged ions is ________ than the attraction between two neutral molecules
Definition
Much stronger
Term
In order to convert an ionic compound into a liquid, the very strong forces between the positive and negative ions must be partially overcome and the ions much be able to move while being attracted strongly to each other. Heating adds ________ to the particles in the solid
Definition
Energy
Term
In a covalent solid, the molecules are held in a geometric pattern by intermolecular attractions between the molecules
Definition
Van der Waal's forces
Term
For covalent compounds, the amount of energy needed to partially overcome the intermolecular attractions is significantly ______ on the average than is needed fro ionic compounds
Definition
Less
Term
One must find the temperature at which a solid and the liquid phases exist together in equilibrium
Definition
Freezing point
Term
When both solid and liquid are present, the temperature ______ when heat is removed and some liquid freezes until all the liquid is frozen
Definition
Remains constant
Term
Sometimes a liquid will cool below its freezing point without freezing
Definition
Supercooling
Term
Moving electrical charge
Definition
Electrical current
Term
If two objects are at two different temperatures and then come into contact with one another, they will reach equilibrium temperature because the heat from the object will flow to the object with lower temperature until they have the same temperature
Definition
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
Term
A liter of gas A contains the same number of molecules of A as the number of molecules of B in a liter of gas B provided the temperature and pressure are the same for the liter of a and the liter of B
Definition
Avogadro's hypothesis
Term
If a container is kept at a constant temperature and a vacuum is in the container at atmospheric pressure. Liquid water is introduced into the bottom of the container and the pressure will increase until a value is reached which remains unchanged
Definition
