Define London dispersion forces.

- present in all molecules and atoms
- important in non-polar molecules
- mostly among noble gas atoms and nonpolar molecules
- weakest IMF

What is a phase diagram?

Recognizes the physical states of a substance based on temperature and pressure

100

Define crystalline solids

A solid with particles are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern.

Ex. metals & ionic compunds

100

What role does electronegativity play in molecular polarity?

A higher electronegativity difference between atoms creates polar bonds. Small or no differences lead to nonpolar bonds.

100

How many grams of LiOH are needed to make 25 g of a 4.0 % solution?

0.04(25g) = 1.0 g

200

Whats weaker, IMFs or chemical bonds (intramolecular forces)?

IMFs

200

What is a triple point on phase diagram?

All 3 phases can coexist simultaneously

200

What typically makes a crystalline solid keep its shape?

The IMFs between the particles that make up the solid.

200

Is CH₄ (methane) polar or nonpolar?

Nonpolar, because even though C-H bonds are slightly polar, the tetrahedral symmetry cancels out dipoles.

200

0.100 mole of NaCl is dissolved into 100.0 grams of pure H2O. What is the mole fraction of NaCl?

100.0 g / 18.0 g mol¯1 = 5.56 mol of H2O

Add that to the 0.100 mol of NaCl = 5.56 + 0.100 = 5.66 mol total

Mole fraction of NaCl = 0.100 mol / 5.66 mol = 0.018

Name the 4 types of IMFs we discussed in class.

Ion-Ion, Hydrogen Bonding, Dipole-Dipole, London Forces

What is a change from a solid to a gas?

Sublimation

ex: dry ice

Describe ionic solids

- High melting points and boiling points due to strong forces
- Crystals are brittle and rigid
- Good conductors of electricity when dissolved in water, not as a solid
-Composed of positive & negative ions held together by electrostatic attractions
-Attractions between full charges are larger than partial charges

300

Why is NH₃ (ammonia) polar, but BF₃ (boron trifluoride) is nonpolar?

NH₃ is polar due to its trigonal pyramidal shape (lone pair on N). BF₃ is nonpolar because of its trigonal planar symmetry, which cancels dipoles.

A liquid solution contains 2.50 moles of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) dissolved in 750.0 g of water. Given that the vapor pressure of pure water at 25°C is 23.8 mmHg, calculate the boiling point elevation of the solution (Kb for water = 0.512°C·kg/mol).

Boiling point = 101.71°C

400

Explain surface tension and its relation to intermolecular forces.

The resistance of a liquid to increase its surface area. Liquids with high intermolecular forces (polar molecules) have a relatively high amount of this.

400

When does a supercritial liquid form?

When a substance is heated and pressurized beyond its critical point.

400

Describe metallic solids

- High melting and boiling points
- Malleable and Ductile
- Conduct electricity

- Structure often described as uniform with a sea of delocalized electrons

400

Would CO₂ or SO₂ be more soluble in water? Why?

SO₂ is more soluble, because it is polar, while CO₂ is nonpolar and does not interact strongly with water.

400

A gas has a solubility of 2.45 g/L at a pressure of 0.750 atm. What pressure would be required to produce an aqueous solution containing 6.25 g/L of this gas at constant temperature?

( 6.25 g/L x  0.750 atm )/2.45 g/L = 1.91 atm

500

Explain viscosity and its relation to intermolecular forces.

This is the measure of a liquid's resistance to flow. Liquids with large intermolecular forces are very highly this way.

500

What is a change from a gas to a solid?

Deposition

ex: snow forming in clouds

Differentiate between crystalline and amorphous solids.

Crystalline Solids

  • Have a highly ordered, repeating atomic or molecular structure.
  • Possess definite melting points, as their orderly structure allows them to break at a specific temperature.
  • Exhibit anisotropy, meaning their physical properties (e.g., conductivity, refractive index) vary based on direction.
  • Examples: Salt (NaCl), diamonds, quartz, ice.

Amorphous Solids

  • Lack a long-range, repeating order in their atomic or molecular arrangement.
  • Do not have a sharp melting point; instead, they soften gradually over a range of temperatures.
  • Are isotropic, meaning their properties are the same in all directions.
  • Examples: Glass, rubber, plastic, wax.
