Study Notes

Viscosity

Affected by temperature: as temperature increases, viscosity decreases.
Increased intermolecular forces of attraction (IMFA) lead to higher viscosity.
Viscosity examples:
- Water: 1 centipoise
- Honey: 10,000 centipoise
Honey has greater IMFA compared to water.

Capillary Action

Defined as the ability of a liquid to rise in narrow tubes or small openings.
Also known as capillarity.
Results from intermolecular attractions between liquid and solid materials.
Two forces involved:
- Cohesion: attraction between like molecules (liquid molecules).
- Adhesion: attraction between unlike molecules (e.g., water and glass).

Vapor Pressure

Pressure exerted by gas in equilibrium with a liquid in a closed container at specific temperature.
Increases with temperature; independent of liquid amount or surface area.
Increased temperature leads to increased vapor pressure; increased IMFA results in lower vapor pressure.
Vapor pressure examples at 25°C:
- Acetone: 0.28 atm
- Water: 0.03 atm
Acetone evaporates faster than water due to weaker IMFA compared to stronger hydrogen bonding in water.

Molar Heat of Vaporization

Defined as the energy required to vaporize 1 mole of a liquid at a specific temperature.

Properties of Liquids

Observations via practical activities to understand surface tension, viscosity, capillary action, and vapor pressure.

Surface Tension

Explore effects of adding dishwashing liquid to water on the surface tension and whether a paper clip can float.

Viscosity Activity

Compare the time it takes for water and oil to empty from a tipped cup to evaluate differences in viscosity.

Capillary Action Experiment

Place food-colored water in a jar with pechay baguio leaves and observe color movement to understand capillary action.

Vapor Pressure Activity

Measure evaporation times for drops of acetone and water on coins to assess differences in vapor pressure and evaporation rates.

Phase Diagram of Carbon Dioxide

Identify states of CO2 at different temperature and pressure combinations using a phase diagram.
Critical and triple points signify unique physical states of CO2 under varying conditions.

Physical Properties of Solutions

Distinction between solute (substance being dissolved) and solvent (medium doing the dissolving).
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures that can be gaseous, liquid, or solid.
Solvation and hydration processes involve solute particles surrounded by solvent molecules.
Miscibility indicates the ability of substances to form a single homogeneous phase; immiscible substances form separate phases.
