Properties of Liquid Flashcards
The ability of a fluid resist from flowing
Viscosity
non-polar molecules like benzene, experience only WEAK INTERMOLECUALR FORCES(london dispersion) and low viscosities
Viscosity
Can be measured using a viscometer
Viscosity
Energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid
Surface tension
A phenomenon in which LIQUID spontaneously rises or falls in a narrow space such as a thin tube or in the voids of a porous material.
Capillarity
Results from a competition between the intermolecular forces within the liquid molecules (COHESIVE FORCES) and those between the liquid molecules and the walls of the tube (ADHESIVE FORCES)
Capillarity
Process of turning from a liquid into vapor
Evaporation
Process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water; it’s the opposite of evaporation.
Condensation
Pressure exerted by vapor in equilibrium with its liquid in a closed container.
Saturated vapor pressure
the ability of a substance to vaporize
Volatility
the temperature wherein the saturated vapor pressure is equal to the external pressure.
This property changes as pressure changes
Boiling Point
