Week Ten Flashcards
Properties of liquids
strong inter molecular
free to move
cannot expand or contract significantly
Surface tension
measure of resistance of a liquid to an increase in its surface area
attraction of liquids on surface
net attractive forces that pulls them towards the interior of the liquid
middle of liquids - attraction
no net pull in any direction in the middle
Spherical shape of water
have less surface area so water is attracted to this shape
Forces that molecules in contact with surface have
adhesion
cohesion
adhesion forces
attract molecules in liquid to walls of container
cohesion forces
attract molecules in liquid to one another
Meniscus
curves surface of liquid, formed by adhesion and cohesion forces
strength of forces
adhesion forces are stronger than cohesive
Capillary action
upward movement of water against gravity
due to adhesion forces between water and oxygen
Viscosity
liquids resistance to flow
greater the viscosity, slower the liquid pours
What affects viscosity
combination of molecular shape and intermolecular forces
affected by temp
Viscosity vs temp
decreases as temp increase due to higher kinetic energy
Vapour pressure
the pressure that occurs when both the gas phase and liquid phase are happening at same time
vapour pressure in closed container
partial pressure increases as molecules enter gas phase
vapor pressure in open container
will continually lose molecules to gas phase until fully evaporated
Vapor pressure vs temp
at high temp, amount of molecules that can leave phases increases
liquid kinetic energy
have energy kinetic energy to move around within liquid phase
What affects vapour pressure
strength of intermolecular forces and temp
Vapor pressure - boiling liquid
when vapor pressure equals outside pressure, liquid will boil
Low pressure - vapor pressure - boiling
boiling point lower, pressure easily reached
high pressure - vapor pressure - boiling
boiling point increases,
Magnitude of forces in solids
forces range from large to small
can be bound by various attractive forces
intermolecular forces
molecular solids
covalent bonds
network solids
delocalised bonds
metallic solids
electrostatic bonds
ionic solids
