Properties of Substances & Mixtures

This set of flashcards covers key vocabulary and concepts related to the properties of substances, mixtures, and gas laws as discussed in the lecture.

Crystalline Solid

A solid with particles arranged in a regular 3-D structure.

Amorphous Solid

A solid that contains particles without a regular, orderly arrangement.

Interparticle Interactions

The forces that influence the structure and motion of particles in solids and liquids.

Polarity

A property of particles that affects their movement and arrangement in liquids.

Hydrogen Bonding

A strong type of intermolecular force that significantly influences the properties of water.

Molar Volume of Solids and Liquids

Solid and liquid phases typically have similar molar volumes due to close contact of particles.

Ideal Gas Law

A relation that describes the behavior of ideal gases through the equation PV = nRT.

Boyle's Law

Describes the inverse relationship between pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature.

Charles's Law

Describes the direct relationship between volume and temperature of a gas at constant pressure.

Gay-Lussac's Law

Describes the direct relationship between pressure and temperature of a gas at constant volume.

Avogadro's Law

Linked the volume of a gas to the number of moles of the gas at constant temperature and pressure.

Elastic Collision

A collision in which total kinetic energy is conserved.

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures

States that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas.
