    Study Notes

    Liquid Phase

    • The liquid state is denser than gases and has less kinetic energy than gases.
    • Liquids are less compressible than gases but more compressible than solids.
    • Intermolecular forces in liquids are stronger than in gases but weaker than in solids, allowing flow with limited compressibility.

    Properties of Liquids

    • Liquids have little kinetic energy and engage in collisions with each other and their container, transferring energy.
    • Particles at the surface of a liquid can escape into vapor when they gain enough energy to overcome surface tension.
    • Not all liquid particles need to reach boiling point to become vapor; some already possess sufficient kinetic energy.

    Vapor Pressure

    • Vapor pressure refers to the pressure of gas or vapor above a liquid in a closed container.
    • Equilibrium vapor pressure does not depend on liquid volume, atmospheric pressure, or the presence of other vapor.
    • As temperature increases, the number of molecules achieving the velocity needed to enter the gaseous state increases, raising vapor pressure.

    Clausius-Clapeyron Equation

    • Defines the relationship between vapor pressure and absolute temperature of a liquid.
    • When a liquid's vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure, bubbles form rapidly, indicating boiling and reflecting the thermal agitation overcoming attractive forces between molecules.
    • Boiling point is a key property and correlates with the strength of attractive forces in a liquid.
    • Boiling points of hydrocarbons, simple alcohols, and carboxylic acids rise with molecular weight due to increased van der Waals forces.
    • The branching of hydrocarbon chains leads to a decrease in boiling points due to reduced intermolecular attraction and less compact molecular structure.

    Calculations

    • Applicable to determine vapor pressure at different temperatures and the enthalpy of vaporization (e.g., calculations using given vapor pressures and temperatures).
    • Examples include calculating vapor pressure change when temperature is altered, and determining enthalpy of vaporization from vapor pressure data.
