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 Point Trends

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.
