Properties of Liquids Flashcards
Property of liquid that resists an external force
Surface Tension
Resistance of a liquid to flow
Viscosity
5 properties of liquids
- surface tension
- viscosity
- vapor pressure
- boiling point
- heat of vaporization
Viscosity: large chained substances have _____ IMF
stronger
Viscosity: the more atoms that can attract one another, the _____ the IMF
stronger
Viscosity: the more viscous the liquid , the _____ the IMF
stronger
When liquid or solid state is made to evaporate in a closed container, the gas exerts pressure above the liquid
Vapor pressure
What is vapor pressure?
Pressure exerted by vapor when it is in equilibrium with its liquid or solid state
the higher the kinetic energy, the _____ IMF
weaker
the stronger the IMF, the ______ VP. Explain why.
weaker, because particles will have difficulty escaping the gas
Property of liquid where the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to atmospheric or external pressure
Boiling point
Boiling point: the higher the IMF, the _____ energy needed to break the bonds, ____ boiling point
greater, greater
Will water take longer to boil in highlands as compared to that in the lowlands?
No, because Higher altitude (highlands) means lower atmospheric pressure which means greater vapor pressure thus, lowering the IMF and resulting to lower BP
Property of Liquid where amount of heat required to vaporize 1 mole of a substance at its boiling point
Heat of Vaporization
the higher the boiling point, the _____ heat of vaporization
greater
Why is the solid state of water lighter than its liquid state?
Ice has low density because of the hollow spaces between its hexagonal arrangement
It is the property of liquids that resists an external force and does assume a lesser surface area
