    Intermolecular Forces

    • Topic: Interactions between molecules.
    • Importance: Intermolecular forces affect many properties of interest to engineers, including phase changes, viscosity, wettability, and surface tension.
    • Examples Phase changes, Viscosity, Wettability, Lubrication, Surface Tension.
    • Engineer's Role: Understanding helps control effects to exploit them.

    General Properties of Phases

    • Topic: Defining properties that distinguish between phases (solid, liquid, gas).
    • Comparison Table: Properties including whether they fill containers, take the shape of a container, if they flow, closeness of molecules, ordering of molecules, and compressibility, are listed by phase.
    • Explanation: Differences in properties explained by intermolecular interactions.

    Ek versus Eint

    • Topic: Comparing kinetic energy of molecules (Ek) to potential energy due to intermolecular interactions (Eint)
    • Importance: The competition between Ek and Eint explains the transition between different physical states such as gas to liquid to solid with decreasing temperature.

    Intermolecular Interactions

    • Topic: Three types of interactions between neutral molecules.
    • A. Dispersion: Temporary fluctuations in electron distribution create temporary dipoles in neighbouring molecules, leading to attractive forces.
    • B. Dipole-Dipole: Permanent dipoles interact directly, forming stronger attractive forces.
    • C. Hydrogen Bonding: Very strong dipole-dipole interaction between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom (N, O, or F), and a lone pair of electrons on a nearby N, O, or F atom.

    Additional Notes

    • lon-Dipole: Important for solutions where ions are solvated by polar molecules (e.g., NaCl dissolving in water).
    • Strength of Interactions: Covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds are stronger than other types of intermolecular interactions.
    • Phase Diagrams: Important to understanding phase behaviour when plotted on a P vs. T graph. Including details on the phases (solid, liquid, and gas) and how pressures and temperatures affect phase transitions.

    Properties of Liquids

    • Vapor Pressure: The pressure exerted by the vapor in equilibrium with the liquid. Dependent on temperature. Molecules with sufficient kinetic energy can overcome intermolecular attractions and enter the vapor phase. The fraction of escaping molecules increases with increasing temperature.
    • Dynamic Equilibrium: Molecules are constantly leaving and returning to the liquid, and the rate of each is balanced.
    • Temperature Effects: If temperature increases more molecules go into the gas phase. If temperature decreases the tendency to return to the liquid phase increases.

    Phase Changes

    • Intermolecular Interactions: The strength of intermolecular forces determine the energy required for phase changes.
    • Enthalpy Change: The enthalpy change for each phase change can be determined by adding up those for the intermediate steps.

    Heating Curves

    • Example: Calculating heat needed to heat H₂O from -25°C to 125°C.
    • Determining enthalpy changes for different stages
    • Importance of vaporization in this process

    Phase Diagrams

    • Triple Point: Temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid, and gas phases coexist in equilibrium.
    • Critical Point: Condition at which the liquid and gas phases become indistinguishable.

    Boiling Process

    • Importance: Explain the boiling of water, and the effects of temperature and pressure.
