1. intermingling of one substance in another diffusion 2. inverse relationship between volume and pressure Boyle's Law 3. vibrate only phase equilibrium 4. rate of condensation = rate of evaporation kinetic energy 5. energy of motion solid particles

OpenStudy (aaronq):

i dont understand your question. could you rephrase it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

These are the questions I have to match : 1. intermingling of one substance in another 2. inverse relationship between volume and pressure 3. vibrate only 4. rate of condensation = rate of evaporation 5. energy of motion To these terms : diffusion Boyle's Law phase equilibrium kinetic energy solid particles

OpenStudy (aaronq):

oh okay. diffusion = intermingling of one substance in another Boyle's Law = inverse relationship between volume and pressure phase equilibrium = rate of condensation = rate of evaporation kinetic energy = energy of motion solid particles = vibrate only let me know if you don't understand why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain why phase equilibrium is matched to the rate of condensation ??

OpenStudy (aaronq):

okay, phase refers to the state of matter liquid/gas. When the rate at which molecules become gas equals the rate at which molecules go from gas to liquid, it reaches a dynamic equilibrium. Equilibrium means that the net concentration is not changing although there is movement back and forth. |dw:1382838852608:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHHHHHHH !!! So as long as it moves back and forth it will stay constant or is there anything that can effect it ?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

yeah. as long as the rate of evaporation and the rate of condensation are equal there is not net effect. It would appear as if it wasn't moving, but it's just moving at an equal rate. This concept of dynamic equilibrium comes up a lot (in diffusion, and in chemical reactions). If you say, lift the lid of the container the gas will escape, and you disturb the equilibrium. the liquid will just keep evaporating because theres nothing to tell it that there is sufficient vapour above.

Oh ok Thank you very much :)

OpenStudy (aaronq):

no problem !
