answer
question
what effect does an increase in temperature have on viscosity?
answer
question
why does ice float?
answer
question
why should experiments measuring heat exchange be in a calorimeter
answer
question
what happens to the temperature as liquid evaporates?
answer
it decreases
question
which states of matter are the only ones that can flow?
answer
gases and liquids
question
there is an iron cube and an aluminum cube that are the same temperature, how are their average kinetic energies different?
answer
there is no difference
question
what happens when energy is added to a boiling liquid?
answer
the temperature does not change
question
what happens when the vapor pressure of a liquid equals atmospheric pressure?
answer
the liquid BEGINS to boil
question
what is the solubility of a gas in a liquid directly proportional to?
answer
the pressure of gas above liquid
question
what doesn't ethanol dissolve in?
answer
turpentine
question
why does H2O have a greater boiling point than methane?
answer
because strong hydrogen bonds are found between water molecules
question
which of these are soluble and insoluble in water?

CuSO4
HCl
NaCl
CF4
answer
all of them are soluble except for CF4
question
how many grams of NaOH should be added to H2O to prepare 0.75L of solution w/molarity of 0.020?
answer
.75L x (0.02/1L) x (40g/1 mol) = .6g
question
what is osmotic pressure?
answer
the downward push on the previously diluted solution that prevents any more solvent from passing through
question
how will and what happens as the volume of the concentrated solution increases?
answer
happens because more solvent is added and it results in an increase in pressure
question
what does boiling point elevation do?
answer
it changes the boiling point
question
what happens to the reaction as you decrease the volume?
answer
the forward reaction is favored so it shifts toward the product
question
what is boiling point proportional to?
answer
molality
question
what is the solution outside of a cell when it is hypotonic?
answer
less concentrated than the inside of the cell
question
what is the equilibrium constant a measure of?
answer
the extent to which a reaction proceeds to completion
question
why does a solute depress the freezing point?
answer
because the solute disrupts the crystal formation of the solvent
question
which subatomic particle controls properties?
answer
the electrons
question
what is the solubility product and what info does it give about an aqueous solution of an ionic solid?
answer
the sp is represented in equations by Ksp. It tells how soluble an ionic solid is in a certain aqueous solution. Increase in Ksp means highly soluble and a decrease in Ksp means not very soluble
question
what is the relationship between Le Chatelier's principle and the common ion?
answer
LC says when you put stress through temperature, concentration or pressure, the system works to relive the stress. When a common ion is added it increases the concentration of that ion and the system will shift to the left.
question
a volatile liquid is?
answer
one that evaporates easily
question
why does the equilibrium vapor pressure increase with an increase in temperature
answer
because there are more particles with higher kinetic energy that want to escape and therefore collide with the container they are in
question
a substance with a low heat of vaporization has what kind of intermolecular forces?
answer
weak intermolecular forces
question
why do gas particles have the most potential energy?
answer
because of the large spaces between the particles
question
what measures the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object
answer
temperature
question
when does deposition occur?
answer
when a gas is converted directly into a solid
question
when a solid is converted into a liquid is it endo or exothermic process?
answer
endothermic
question
when do all 3 states of matter exist in equilibrium
answer
at the triple point
question
when does dynamic equilibrium exist?
answer
when the rate of vaporization equals the rate of condensation
question
under what conditions wil a liquid boil
answer
when the vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure
question
electrolyte is...?
answer
a substance that dissolves in water to form a solution that conducts an electric current
question
molality is not affected by what?
answer
changes in temperature
question
a solution containing the maximum amount of solute to a given amount of solvent is
answer
super saturated
question
what solution has water as the solvent?
answer
aqueous
question
miscible includes
answer
liquids that can mix each other
question
what does Raults law state?
answer
that the magnitude of vapor pressure reduction is proportional to the solutions concentration
question
volatile is ?
answer
a substance that will become a gas under existing conditions
question
what effect does adding solute to solvent have on the freezing point?
answer
it lowers it
question
what effect does the addition of a solute have on the vapor pressure?
answer
when you add solute you have solute mixed with solvent and fewer solvent particles at surface because the solute particles cause an interference, so fewer can escape.
question
what are the five kinds of chemical reactions?
answer
synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion
question
synthesis?
answer
two or more substances combining to make a more complex substance

A + B = AB
question
single replacement?
answer
a neutral element becomes an ion as it replaces another ion in the compound

n the case of a positive ion being replaced: A + BC ----> B + AC
or
In the case of a negative ion being replaced: A + BC ----> C + BA
question
decomposition?
answer
one substance is broken down into two or more, simpler substances. This type of reaction is the opposite of a synthesis reaction

AB---> A+B
question
double relacenment
answer
two elements in two compounds change places
so that
AB + CD ---> AD + CB
question
combustion
answer
hydrocarbon + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water
question
charges of the monoatomic ions?
answer
group and charge
1 is +1
2 is +2
13 is +3
15 is -3
16 is -2
17 is -1
18 is 0
