Study Notes
General Chemistry II - Chapter 1
- The Kinetic Molecular Model and Intermolecular Forces of Attraction in Matter are covered.
- General Chemistry 2 is a senior high school (STEM) course.
- The kinetic molecular theory explains the properties of solids and liquids.
- Intermolecular forces of attraction and the kinetic energy of individual particles are key factors.
- All matter is made of tiny particles. These particles are in constant motion.
- The speed of a particle is proportional to the temperature, and increased temperature means greater speed.
- Solids, liquids, and gases differ in the distances between particles, the freedom of motion of particles, and the extent to which the particles interact.
- Solids, liquids, and gases have different arrangements. This is illustrated in diagrams of matter.
Section 1.1: Kinetic Molecular Theory of Solids and Liquids
- The purpose is to explain why solids and liquids behave differently.
- The kinetic molecular theory of solids and liquids is covered.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
- The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the properties of solids and liquids. This is done in terms of intermolecular forces of attraction and the kinetic energy of the individual particles.
Kinetic Molecular Theory Summary
- All matter is composed of tiny particles.
- These particles are in constant motion.
- The speed of the particles is proportional to the temperature; an increase in temperature leads to an increase in the speed of the particles.
- The differences between solids, liquids, and gases are due to differences in the distance between the particles, freedom of motion, and the extent of interaction among them.
States of Matter
- The three states of matter are shown in illustrations.
- The illustration shows solids, liquids, and gases.
Activity 1
- Compare distances between molecules in gaseous, liquid, and solid phases and rank them.
- Describe the motion of molecules of gas, liquid, and solid.
- Describe the arrangement of molecules in gas, liquid, and solid phases.
- Rank the phases by increasing volume of empty space.
Properties of Matter and Molecular Behavior
-
Volume/Shape: Gases assume the volume and shape of their container. Liquids have a fixed volume but assume the shape of the occupied portion of the container. Solids have a fixed volume and shape regardless of size and container.
-
Density: Density of gases is low, while liquids and solids have high density.
-
Compressibility: Gases are easily compressed, while liquids and solids are not easily compressed.
-
Motion of Molecules: Gas particles move randomly, fast, and cover large distances. Liquid particles move randomly and mid-speed over limited distances. Solid particles vibrate in place.
Intermolecular Forces of Attraction
- Intermolecular forces are attractive forces between molecules or particles. This is in the solid or liquid state.
- These forces are relatively weaker than the intramolecular forces. Intramolecular forces hold atoms together in a molecule.
- The forces of attraction within a pure substance are known as van der Waals forces.
- Common types of intermolecular forces include: dipole-dipole forces, hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole forces, London dispersion forces, and dipole-induced dipole forces.
Dipole-Dipole Forces
- Dipole-dipole forces are attractive forces between polar molecules.
- One end of a dipole attracts the oppositely charged end of another dipole.
Hydrogen Bonding
- Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole force.
- It occurs between a hydrogen atom bound to a small, highly electronegative non-metal atom.
- It's found in polar molecules containing hydrogen in association with highly electronegative elements. Examples include nitrogen, fluorine, and oxygen.
Ion-Dipole Force
- Ion- dipole forces occur between an ion (positive or negative) and a polar molecule (like water).
- This explains the solubility of ionic compounds in water.
- The attraction between ions and opposite charges in the molecules overcome the ionic attraction, resulting in separation of the ions and water molecules clustering around them.
London Dispersion Forces
- London dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular force.
- It arises when two non-polar molecules approach each other and an instantaneous dipole moment forms.
Dipole-Induced Dipole Forces
- This force occurs when a polar molecule interacts with a non-polar molecule.
Activity 2
- This section asks the student to identify and justify the intermolecular force acting in specific substances. The substances include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen gas, hydrogen fluoride, carbon dioxide, neon gas and magnesium chloride dissolved in water.
Section 1.3: Intermolecular Forces and Properties of Liquids
- The purpose is to understand how intermolecular forces influence the properties of liquids.
- Intermolecular forces are vital to the properties of liquids, including surface tension, capillary action, viscosity, vapor pressure, boiling point, and heat of vaporization.
Intermolecular Forces and Properties of Liquids
- Liquids do not have a regular and simple structure, but many properties can be explained by observing the particulate nature of the liquid. This describes the properties at the particle level.
General Properties of Liquids
- Surface Tension: A measure of the elastic force in the surface of a liquid; it is the energy required to stretch or increase the surface area of a liquid. Explains items like needles and paper clips floating on water and the spherical shape of water drops.
- Capillary Action: The tendency of a liquid to rise in narrow tubes or openings. It's due to the attraction between the liquid and the solid materials (cohesion and adhesion).
- Viscosity: The resistance of a liquid to flow. Related to the thickness or thinness of a liquid. Long-chained substances like oil tend to have higher viscosity because of greater intermolecular forces.
- Vapor Pressure: The pressure exerted by a substance's vapor when in equilibrium with the liquid or solid. Substances with strong intermolecular forces have low vapor pressure as particles have difficulty escaping as gas.
- Boiling Point: The temperature at which a liquid's vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure. Higher intermolecular forces mean a higher boiling point.
- Heat of Vaporization: The amount of heat needed to vaporize one mole of substance at its boiling point and dependent on the strength of intermolecular forces. Increased boiling point correlates with increased molar heat of vaporization.
Structure and Properties of Water
- At room temperature, water is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid.
- Water turns to ice at 0°C and 1 atm.
- Water becomes a gas, steam, at 100°C.
Unique Properties of Water
- Water is a good solvent.
- Water has a high specific heat (the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by 1°C)
- Water's boiling point is unusually high.
- Solid water (ice) is less dense than liquid water, causing it to float on water.
Section 1.4: Types and Properties of Solids
- This section covers the classification and properties of solids.
- Solids are classified as crystalline or amorphous solids. Crystalline solids form a regular repeating arrangement in three dimensions. Amorphous solids have a disordered arrangement.
Types and Properties of Solids
- Solids can be crystalline or amorphous based on how their particles are arranged.
- Crystalline solids have a highly regular arrangement, while amorphous solids have a disordered structure.
Amorphous Solids
- Amorphous solids, such as glass, are formed quickly.
- This means the constituent particles do not have time to align or organize to form a crystalline structure.
Crystalline Solids
- Crystalline Solids have well-defined crystal lattices.
- A lattice is a three-dimensional system of points mapping the positions of ions, atoms, or molecules in the crystal.
- Unit cells are the smallest repeating unit within a lattice. Different types of unit cells are illustrated in diagrams.
Classification of Crystalline Solids
- There are various types of crystalline solids (ionic, molecular, metallic, network, and group 8A)
- Their structures and interactions are covered and categorized.
Section 1.5: Phase Changes and Phase Diagrams
- This section is about transformations between physical states of a substance.
- Phases changes occur when there is an addition or removal of heat.
Phase Changes
- Phase changes are transformations of matter occurring when energy is added or taken away.
- Phase changes involve changes in molecular order. Solids have greatest order and gases have the greatest disorder.
Types of Phase Changes
- A diagram illustrating different phase changes including sublimation, vaporization, freezing, melting, condensation, and deposition are shown.
- The processes are explained and illustrated by arrows.
Phase Changes: Energy and Phase Changes
- How changes in energy affect phase changes are shown in a graph.
- Changes in temperature and related changes of state for one substance are shown.
Phase Diagrams
- Phase diagrams are graphs illustrating pressure versus temperature combinations for various phases of a single substance.
- Examples utilizing CO2 or dry ice are covered. This shows how pressure and other factors can cause phase change.
- Phase diagrams provide possible combinations of pressure and temperature where a substance can exist. This describes states or phases of substance.
- Phase diagrams show the three phases of a substance (solid, liquid, gas) in different areas.
Features of Phase Diagrams
- Phase diagrams are plots of pressure (atmospheric) versus temperature (Celcius/Kelvin).
- The phase diagrams have areas for solid, liquid, and gas phases.
The Three Areas
- The areas on a phase diagram represent specific phases of a substance (solid, liquid, gas). This illustrates how a substance can exist in solid, liquid, or a vapor/gas phase.
The Three Lines
- The lines on a phase diagram are the boundaries between the physical states. They show the combinations of pressures and temperatures where two phases can exist in equilibrium. Phase-change points are on these lines.
Melting (or Freezing) Curve, Vaporization (Condensation Curve), Sublimation (or Deposition) Curve
- The melting (or freezing) curve separates the solid and liquid phases, indicating melting (solid-to-liquid) and freezing (liquid-to-solid) points.
- The vaporization (condensation) curve separates the liquid and gas phases, showing vaporization (liquid-to-gas) and condensation (gas-to-liquid) points.
- The sublimation (or deposition) curve separates the solid and gas phases, indicating sublimation (solid-to-gas) and deposition (gas-to-solid) points.
The Two Important Points
- Triple Point: The temperature and pressure at which all three phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas) exist in equilibrium.
- Critical Point: The point on a phase diagram where the vapor pressure and liquid phases merge into a single supercritical fluid phase.
Activity
