Card 1States of Matter

What are the three states of matter and their main characteristics?

Answer

Solid: Definite shape, definite volume, particles tightly packed in regular arrangement, strong intermolecular forces, incompressible. Liquid: Indefinite shape (takes shape of container), definite vo

Card 2Intermolecular Interactions

What are London forces (Dispersion forces) and why are they important?

Answer

London forces are weak intermolecular forces that arise due to instantaneous dipoles in atoms or non-polar molecules. When electrons move, they create temporary uneven distribution creating a temporar

Card 3Intermolecular Interactions

Explain dipole-dipole forces with an example.

Answer

Dipole-dipole forces occur between polar molecules. The positive end (δ+) of one molecule's dipole attracts the negative end (δ-) of another molecule's dipole. Example: In propanone (CH₃)₂C=O, molecu

Card 4Intermolecular Interactions

What is hydrogen bonding and why does water have a higher boiling point than H₂S?

Answer

Hydrogen bonding is an exceptionally strong dipole-dipole interaction that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms (N, O, F). The hydrogen atom becomes highly polar and attracts

Card 5Gas Laws

State Boyle's Law mathematically and explain what happens to gas volume when pressure doubles at constant temperature.

Answer

Boyle's Law: At constant temperature, volume is inversely proportional to pressure. Mathematical expression: V ∝ 1/p (at constant T and n) Or: p₁V₁ = p₂V₂ When pressure doubles: If p₂ = 2p₁, then V₂

Card 6Gas Laws - Boyle's Law

Calculate the final volume: A gas occupies 25 mL at 1 atm pressure. What volume will it occupy at 1.25 atm at constant temperature?

Answer

Using Boyle's Law: p₁V₁ = p₂V₂ Given: p₁ = 1 atm V₁ = 25 mL p₂ = 1.25 atm V₂ = ? Solution: V₂ = (p₁ × V₁)/p₂ V₂ = (1 atm × 25 mL)/(1.25 atm) V₂ = 25/1.25 V₂ = 20 mL Answer: The gas will occupy 20 m

Card 7Gas Laws

State Charles' Law and explain what absolute zero means in the context of this law.

Answer

Charles' Law: At constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to absolute temperature. Mathematical expression: V ∝ T (at constant p and n) Or: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ Or: V = kT (where k is a constant)

Card 8Gas Laws - Charles' Law

Calculate final volume: A gas occupies 2 L at 1000°C. What volume will it occupy at 0°C at constant pressure?

Answer

Using Charles' Law: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ Given: V₁ = 2 L T₁ = 1000 + 273 = 1273 K T₂ = 0 + 273 = 273 K V₂ = ? Solution: V₂ = (V₁ × T₂)/T₁ V₂ = (2 L × 273 K)/(1273 K) V₂ = 546/1273 V₂ = 0.429 L Answer: The
