    Study Notes

    Properties of Liquids

    • Liquids exhibit properties like surface tension, viscosity, vapor pressure, boiling point, and molar heat of vaporization.
    • These properties are influenced by intermolecular forces (IMF).
    • Stronger IMF lead to higher surface tension and viscosity, lower vapor pressure, and higher boiling points.

    Surface Tension

    • Surface tension is the energy required to increase a liquid's surface area.
    • Liquids with stronger IMF have higher surface tension.
    • Water's high surface tension is due to hydrogen bonding.

    Cohesion and Adhesion

    • Cohesion is the attraction between liquid molecules.
    • Adhesion is the attraction between liquid molecules and other molecules.
    • Capillary action results from the balance of cohesion and adhesion.
    • Water's adhesion to glass is greater than its cohesion, leading to a concave meniscus.
    • Mercury's cohesion is greater than its adhesion to glass, leading to a convex meniscus.

    Viscosity

    • Viscosity is a liquid's resistance to flow.
    • Stronger IMF lead to higher viscosity; liquids flow more slowly.
    • Higher temperatures decrease viscosity; molecules move more freely.

    Vapor Pressure and Boiling Point

    • Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by gaseous molecules above a liquid.
    • Weaker IMF lead to higher vapor pressure and lower boiling points.
    • Boiling point is the temperature where vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
    • Molar heat of vaporization is the energy needed to change one mole of liquid to gas.

    Water Properties

    • Water is an excellent solvent for many ionic and molecular compounds due to its polarity.
    • Water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it can absorb a lot of heat with a small temperature change. This is due to hydrogen bonds.
    • Solid water (ice) is less dense than liquid water because the hydrogen bonding creates an open structure with more space between molecules.
    • Water's ability to rise in thin tubes (capillary action) is important for biological processes, like water transport in plants.
