Vapor pressure is mostly a function of airtemperature
Same Liquid – Two Temps. The red curve has more molecules with enough energy to evaporate.
Equilibrium Vapor PressureThe pressure of the vapor present
at equilibrium. Determined principally by the size
of the intermolecular forces in the liquid.
Increases significantly with temperature.
Volatile liquids have high vapor pressures.
The normal boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure equals 1 atmosphere.
• Diethyl ether
• Ethanol
• Water
Forces of Attraction
Adhesive Forces• Forces of attraction
between substances
Cohesive Forces• Forces of attraction
within substances.
Some Properties of a Liquid
Surface Tension: The resistance to an increase in its surface area (polar molecules, liquid metals).
Capillary Action: Spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube.
Some Properties of a Liquid
Viscosity: Resistance to flow
High viscosity is an indication of strong intermolecular forces
