LESSON 3 CHEM - PROP OF LIQUIDS Flashcards
- resist penetration
- can act like skin
- directly correlated to intermolecular attraction
- result to an inward pull among the molecules
- strong attractions between water that pulled slightly toward
- tightness across the surface
- polar molecules repelling each other
- causes raindrops to form beads
- insects “skate”
SURFACE TENSION
HIGH SURFACE TENSION
stronger IMFA
LOW SURFACE TENSION
weaker IMFA
the ability of liquids to flow
FLUIDITY
thickness or resistance to flow of a liquid
VISCOSITY
VISCOUS
HIGH VISCOSITY, SLOW FLOW
FLUID
LOW VISCOSITY, FAST FLOW
MEASURES THE TIME OF A LIQUID TO FLOW
VISCOMETER
Tendency polar of liquids to rise against gravity into small fine tubes (a capillary)
CAPILLARITY
IMF within the liquid molecules
COHESIVE FORCES
Forces between the liquid molecules and the walls of the tube
ADHESIVE FORCES
The upper surface of a liquid in a tube is called the
meniscus
WATER - Meniscus is concave
(Curved upward/inward) because adhesive forces are greater than cohesive forces.
MERCURY - Meniscus is convex
(curved downward/outward) because cohesive forces are greater than adhesive forces.
It explains how water moves against the force of gravity.
* It is due to the attraction among molecules of water and surrounding materials.
* It prevents water from moving through materials with pores.
* It causes clothing to stay dry.
