6. When there is a small decrease in temperature, the average kinetic energy of the particles of a liquid
a. decreases.
b. becomes zero.
c. is not changed.
d. increases.

c. high density.
d. random arrangement.

21. Use the kinetic-molecular theory to explain why liquids are fluids, how liquids diffuse, and why they evaporate.
According to the kinetic-molecular theory, the particles in a liquid can change relative positions but still are influenced by attractive forces. Their ability to move about explains the fluidity of liquids and their ability to diffuse. As some particles at the surface of a liquid gain energy, they overcome the attractive force and vaporize.

2. Which characteristic accounts for the fluidity of gases and liquids?
a. strong intermolecular forces
b. elastic collisions between particles
c. particle mobility
d. small particle size
What is c?

7. Liquids diffuse more slowly than gases because
a. liquids cannot be compressed.
b. the attractive forces between particles restrict their movement.
c. the particles in a liquid are not mobile.
d. liquids are always at lower temperatures than gases.

12. When heated, a pure crystalline solid will
a. gradually soften before it melts.
b. melt over a wide temperature range.
c. exhibit a sharply defined melting temperature.
d. melt at a temperature slightly above its freezing temperature.
What is c?

17. Label the normal freezing point.

22. Define the term equilibrium vapor pressure, and use it to explain the boiling point depressions of substances at elevations higher than sea level.
Equilibrium vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its corresponding liquid at a given temperature. A liquid boils when its equilibrium vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure. At high elevations, there is lowered atmospheric pressure. This means that the equilibrium vapor pressure will equal the lowered atmospheric pressure at a lower temperature.

b. increases.
c. remains unchanged.
d. shows no correlation.

a. released when a solid melts.
b. absorbed when a solid melts.
c. needed to transform a solid to a gas.
d. required for equilibrium.

c. density.
d. energy.
What is b?
