Define or describe:
(a) Amorphous solid (k) Molality
(b) Colligative property (l) Molarity
(c) Colloid (m) Nonelectrolyte
(d) Condensation (n) Phase
(e) Critical point (o) Strong electrolyte
(f) Critical pressure (p) Sublimation
(g) Crystalline solid (q) Surface tension
(h) Electrolyte (r) Triple point
(a) Amorphous solids are ones in which the particles are arranged in a random fashion.
(b) Colligative properties are physical properties of solvents that are dependent on the
concentration of the solute present and the identity of the solvent but not on the identity
of the solute. They include vapor pressure, freezing point and boiling point.
(c) Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures which appear to homogeneous one-phase
mixtures but are actually composed of particles too small to be seen with the naked eye.
(d) Condensation is the process of gas being converted to liquid.
(e) Critical point is the temperature above which a substance cannot exist in the liquid
phase.
(f) Critical pressure is the lowest pressure required for the substance to exist as a liquid
at the critical point.
(g) Crystalline solids are ones in which the particles are arranged in one of several
different orderly, repeating, geometric patterns.
(h) Electrolytes are ionic or very polar compounds which dissolve to form solutions of
ions which conduct an electric current.
(i) Fluids are substances like liquids and gases which have no fixed shape and so they
flow.
(j) Ionization is the splitting of molecules to form ions.
(k) Molality is a term which expresses concentration in moles of solute present per
kilogram of solvent.
(l) Molarity is a term which expresses concentration in moles of solute present per liter
of solution.
(m) Nonelectrolytes are compounds which dissolve to form solutions of molecules which
do not conduct an electric current.
(n) Phase is any state of matter such as solid, liquid or gas.
(o) Strong electrolytes are solutes that ionize completely.

(p) Sublimation is the conversion of a solid directly to the gas state.
(q) Surface tension is the force that causes a liquid which is in contact with a gas like air
to assume a shape that has the least amount of surface area causing the surface to act
like a thin elastic sheet.
(r) Triple point is the temperature and pressure at which the solid, liquid and gas phases
can coexist.
(s) Vapor pressure is pressure exerted by vapor molecules above a liquid.
(t) Weak electrolytes are solutes that only partially ionize.
(i) Fluid (s) Vapor pressure
(j) Ionization (t) Weak electrolyte
What rule is used to predict the solubility of materials?
The "like dissolves like" rule is used to predict the solubility of materials with polar
solvents only dissolving polar (and ionic) substances and nonpolar solvents only
Explain how and why the presence of a solute affects the boiling point of a solvent.
dissolving nonpolar substances.
The presence of a solute raises the boiling point of a solvent by lowering the vapor
pressure of the solvent. With this lower vapor pressure, more heat (a higher boiling
point) is required to raise the vapor pressure to atmospheric pressure.
Calculate the mass percent solute in a solution of 12.6 grams of NaNO3 in 450 grams of
water
Mass % = (gsolute / gsolute + gsolvent) x 100%
Mass % = (12..6 + 450) x 100 = 2.72%
. Show the calculation of the molality of a solution made by dissolving 12.6 grams of
NaNO3 in 200 grams of water.
Molality = (gsolute / MW) / (gsolvent / 1000)
Show the calculation of the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 12.6 grams of
NaNO3 to make 200 ml of solution
Molality = (12..0) / () = 0.741 m
Molarity = (gsolute / MW) / (mlsolution / 1000)
Show the calculation of the mass of NaNO3 needed to make 450 ml of a 0.356 M
solution
Molarity = (12..0) / () = 0.741 M
.
Molarity = (moles) / (mlsolution/ 1000)
0.356 = (moles) / ()
Moles = 0.356 x 0.450 = 0.1602
Moles = (gsolute / MW)
0.1602 = (gsolute / 85.0)
gsolute = 0.1602 x 85.0 = 13.6 g
Show the calculation of the volume of 0.987 M solution which can be prepared using
24.6 grams of NaNO3
Molessolute = gsolute / MW
Molessolute = 24.6 g / 85.0 = 0.2894 mol
Molarity = moles / (mL /1000)
