    The document contains questions about chemistry topics including distillation, colloidal suspensions, systems, properties, and thermodynamic processes. It asks about the lower and upper curves in a distillation plot and how azeotropes can be separated. It also asks about the size of colloidal particles, how colloidal suspensions work, and how adding salt can speed up particle aggregation. Further questions cover defining systems, unique properties of closed, open and isolated systems, extensive and intensive properties, reversible and irreversible processes, state functions, and interpreting the signs in the pressure-volume work equation.

    Intensive Chemistry Seminar 1. What do the lower and upper curves refer to?

    Use this plot to clarify your explanation of distillation.

    2. Explain whats going on in the following figures. Can azeotropes be separated by fractional distillation methods? Why?

    3. What are the approximate sizes of most colloidal particles? Why do you see colloidal suspensions? 4. Explain how colloidal suspensions work and why addition of a salt can speed up aggregation and sedimentation. 1. What is a system and how would one go about defining one? 2. What is unique about the following systems? a. Closed b. Open c. Isolated 3. What is the difference between extensive and intensive properties? How do you change an extensive to an intensive? Give examples. 4. Explain the difference between reversible and irreversible processes 5. What is unique about a state function? Give examples 6. From the equation of pressure-volume work: W = -Pext V. What is the sign of work if a gas expands? Compressed? Explain the significance of he signs. What does this mean in terms of energy exchange between the system and surroundings?
