Q

like gases, liquids can transmit

A

pressure equally in all directions

24
Q

liquids also diffuse and mix with other

25
any liquid gradually diffuses throughout any other liquid in which it
can dissolve
26
the constant, random motion of particles causes diffusion in liquids, as it does in
gases
27
yet diffusion is much slower in liquids because liquid particles are
closer together
28
theh attractive forces between the particles of a liquid
slow their movement
29
as the temperature of a liquid is increased, diffusion occurs more
rapidly
30
the reason is that average kinetic energy, and therefore the average speed of the particles, is
incresaed
31
a property common to all liquids is surface tension: a forced that tends to pull adjacent parts of a liquid's surface together, thereby decreasing
surface area to the smallest possible size
32
surface tension results from the attractive forces between
particles of a liqudi
33
the higher the force of attraction, the higher the
surface tension
34
water has a higher surface tension than most liquids because of the hydrogen bonds water molecules can
form with each other
35
the molecules at the surface of the water can form hydrogen bonds with the other water molecules beneath them and beside them, but not with
the molecules in the air above them
36
the surface water molecules are drawn togethyer and toward the body of the liquid, creating a
high surface tension
37
surface tension causes liquid droplets to take on a spherical shape because a sphere has the smallest possible
surface area for a given volume
38
capillary action, the attraction of the surface of a
liquid to the surface of a solid
39
capillary action is a property closely related to
surface tension
40
a liquid will rise quite high in a very narrow tube and will wet the tube if a strong attraction exists between the liquid molecules and the molecules that make up the
surface of the tube
41
this attraction tends to pull the liquid molecules upward along the surface and against the
pull of gravity
42
this process continues until the attractive forces between the liquid molecules and the surface of the tube are
balanced by the weight of the liquid
43
capillary action can occur between
water molecules and paper fibers
44
capillary action is at least partly responsible for the transportation of water from the roots of a plant to its
leaves t
45
capillary action is also responsible for the concave liquid surface, called a meniscus, that forms in a
test tube or graduated cylinder
46
the process by which a liquid or solid changes to a gas is
vaporization
47
evaporation is the process by which particles escape from the surface of a
nonboiling liquid and enter the gas state
48
evaporation occurs because the particles of a liquid have different
kinetic energies
49
particles with higher-than-average energies move
faster
50
some surface particles with higher-than-average energies can overcome the
intermolecular forces that bind them to the liquid and can then escape into the gas state
51
evaporation removes fresh water from the surface of the ocean, leaving behind a heigher
concentration of salts
52
boiling is the change of a liquid to bubbles of vapor that appear
throughout the liquid
53
when a liquid is cooled, the average energy of its particles
decreases
54
if the energy is low enough, attractive forces pull the particles into an even more
orderly arrangement
55
the physical change of a liquid to a solid by removal of energy as heat is called
freezing or solidification
56
all liquids freeze, although not necessarily at temperatures you
normally encounter
