    Study Notes

    Intermolecular Forces

    • Attractive forces are essential for molecules to come together.
    • Cohesive forces involve attraction between similar molecules.
    • Adhesive forces involve attraction between different molecules.
    • Attractive forces are inversely proportional to the distance between molecules.
    • This inverse relationship is described by the Lennard-Jones potential.
    • Repulsive forces are proportional to an exponential relationship with the reciprocal of the distance separating the molecules.

    Types of Intermolecular Forces

    • Van der Waals Forces: Dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, and induced dipole-induced dipole interactions.
    • Ion-Dipole Forces: Occur between ions and polar molecules.
    • Hydrogen Bonding: A uniquely strong type of dipole-dipole interaction, partly covalent.
    • Hydrophobic Interactions: Forces of attraction between nonpolar atoms and molecules in water, driven by minimizing disruption of hydrogen bonds between water molecules.

    States of Matter

    • Gases: High kinetic energy, weak intermolecular forces, no regular shape, compressible, and can fill available space.
    • Liquids: Definite volume, take the shape of their container, denser than gases, less compressible than gases, and more compressible than solids.
    • Solids: Fixed shape, nearly incompressible, strong intermolecular forces, minimal kinetic energy.

    Ideal Gas Laws

    • Boyle's Law: Inverse proportionality between volume and pressure.
    • Charles' Law: Direct proportionality between temperature and volume.

    Kinetic Molecular Theory

    • Gas particles are in constant random motion, colliding elastically with other particles and container walls.
    • Gas particles have negligible volume compared to the total volume of the container.
    • Gas particles have insignificant attractive or repulsive forces except during collisions.
    • Gas particle possess kinetic energy proportional to temperature.
    • The average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the temperature.
    • Particle speeds in a gas follow a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.
    • The pressure exerted by a gas is due to collisions of gas particles with container walls.

    Blood Gases

    • O2 and CO2 are important blood gases.
    • Their concentration is determined by Henry's Law of gas solubility – the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas.
    • Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures: The total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of each gas.
    • Normal partial pressures of O2 is 80 mmHg, PCO2 is around 35-45 mmHg.
    • PCO2: reflects the inverse relationship between itself and lung ventilation. High PCO2 indicates poor ventilation, low PCO2 indicates hyperventilation.

    Liquid State

    • Liquids can be frozen (become solids), have boiling points (become gases), and have vapor pressure and surface tension.
    • Liquefaction of Gases: Gases can be liquefied by cooling and applying pressure.
    • Aerosols: A drug dissolved or suspended in a propellant, a material that is liquid under pressure but vaporizes at atmospheric pressure.

    Vapor Pressure

    • Vapor Pressure: Pressure exerted by the vapor of a substance in equilibrium with its liquid or solid phase.
    • Substances with higher vapor pressures are more volatile.
    • The Clausius–Clapeyron equation describes the relationship between vapor pressure and temperature.
    • Heat of Vaporization: Amount of heat energy needed to transform a liquid to a vapor at constant temperature and pressure.
    • Boiling Point: Temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure.

    Surface Tension

    • Surface tension is the force per unit length acting on the surface of a liquid.

    Solid State

    • Solids have a fixed shape and are nearly incompressible.
    • Characterized by shape, particle size, melting point, and sublimation point.
