Study Notes
Physical Properties of Substances
- Intensive properties depend on the type of matter (e.g., temperature, pressure, density).
- Extensive properties depend on the quantity of matter (e.g., mass, length, volume).
Classification of Physical Properties
- Additive properties rely on the sum of individual properties (e.g., molecular weight, molar volume).
- Constitutive properties depend on the type and arrangement of matter (e.g., solubility, optical activity).
- Colligative properties depend on the number of components (e.g., vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation).
Vapor Pressure and Phase Behavior
- Vapor pressure is the equilibrium pressure of vapor above a liquid/solid.
- As vapor pressure increases, boiling point decreases; for water, normal VP is 20 mm Hg at room temperature.
- Critical temperature is the temperature above which a liquid can no longer exist.
- Critical pressure is the pressure required to liquefy a gas at its critical temperature.
Molecular Weight and Polymorphs
- Molecular weight is determined by the sum of atomic weights in a chemical formula.
- Polymorphs can affect the solubility and biological activity of drugs (e.g., sulfameter forms, chloramphenicol palmitate polymorphs).
Liquid State and Zero Degrees Kelvin
- Liquids are denser than gases and have less kinetic energy.
- Boiling point occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid equals atmospheric pressure.
- Heat of vaporization is the heat needed at boiling point for vaporization.
Measurement and Calculation Techniques
- Precision is the agreement of repeated measurements; accuracy is the agreement of measurements with true values.
- Variability in measurement is characterized by range, standard deviation, mean deviation, etc.
- Methods for vapor pressure determination include manometer, isopiestic method, and thermoelectric method.
Viscosity and Surface Tension
- Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow; types include absolute, relative, and kinematic viscosity.
- Surface tension is measured in dynes/cm and decreases with increasing temperature.
States of Matter
- Gases have high kinetic energy, fill available space, and have no regular shape.
- Ideal gas laws govern gas behavior; Boyle’s Law relates pressure and volume, while Charles’s Law relates volume and absolute temperature.
Phase Rule
- The phase rule is defined as F = C - P + 2, where F is the degrees of freedom, C is the number of components, and P is the number of phases.
- A system with one component and two phases has one degree of freedom, while one with three phases has zero.
Phase Diagram
- Phase diagrams graphically represent the limiting conditions for phases of a substance under varying pressure and temperature.
Sample Problem
- Example calculations demonstrate the determination of molecular weight and degrees of freedom within gas systems based on given parameters.
