This is the notes for liquid state.
Evaporation
The spontaneous escaping of molecules at any temperature from the liquid surface to vapour state due to its higher kinetic energy then the intermolecular force of attraction is called evaporation. when kinetic energy of a molecule exceeds the banding intermolecular force of attraction the molecule is escape s from the liquid surface.
- Evaporation is spontaneous or natural process.
- Evaporation is endothermic process. For example lakes dry up faster in hot season than in winter season.
- Evaporation causes cooling. Evaporation molecules having high kinetic energy scabs from the liquid surface which decrease the average kinetic energy of the liquid system and cooling takes place.
- • Evaporation is surface phenomenon. In evaporation only those molecules escape from the liquid which a more kinetic energy than cohesive energy.
Condensation is the cooling down of vapour into liquid.
- It is a reverse process of evaporation.
- Decrease in temperature decreases the kinetic energy of gas molecule and triggers for the condensation.
- Condensation of water vapour in the atmosphere lead to rainfall resulting into the completion of water cycle.
Vapour pressure of liquid is defined as the pressure exerted by the vapour of liquid when rate of evaporation is equal to the rate of condensation at a given temperature in a closed container.
On heating any liquid in a closed vessel, the rate of evaporation increases and the number of molecule in vapour phase increases. Later on this molecule is start to collide with each other then start condense into liquid within the container. During these two opposite phenomena of evaporation and condensation or state appears where the rate of evaporation is equal to rate of condensation. The pressure created by the vapour at this stage is called vapour pressure.
Factors affecting the vapour pressure.
- Nature of liquid
- Temperature
- Presence of impurities
The temperature at which vapour pressure of liquid becomes equal to the
atmospheric pressure is called boiling point.
Example: When water is heated upto 100°C at one atmospheric pressure the
vapour pressure of water becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure that is
why 100°C is the normal boiling point of water.
Difference between boiling and evaporation
Surface tension of liquid is defined as the tangential force acting along the
surface of the liquid at right angle to a line of unit length drawn on the surface of
liquid.
The net force of attraction on the bulk molecule remains balance where is the
surface molecule experience net downward pull. This involved force on the surface
molecules for surface tension. SI unit is Nm-1 and in CGS dyne cm-1
.
Factors affecting surface tension
- Intermolecular force: Greater the intermolecular force of attraction greater will be the bending among the molecules and more will be the surface tension.
Surface tension. : Water > Ethanol > Ether
- Temperature: Increase in temperature, increases the kinetic energy of the liquid molecule and decreases the intermolecular forces of attraction. This decreases the surface tension.
- Presence of a impurities: surface active reagent lower the surface tension while bulk active reagent increase the surface tension.
- Pressure: increase in pressure on the surface of liquid slightly increases the surface tension.
The intermolecular force of attraction which exists between the same
type of molecules is called cohesive force.
- Why does Mercury form spherical droplet?
• The intermolecular force of attraction existing between different types
of molecules is called adhesive force. For example intermolecular forces
between the glass surface and liquid molecules.
Capillary rise
• When adhesive forces are greater than cohesive forces then the liquid rises
within the capillary tubes. This happens when a capillary tube is dipped into
water.
• On the other hand, if cohesive forces are greater than adhesive forces the liquid
within capillary falls. This happens when a capillary tube is dipped into Mercury.
Application of surface tension
• We use soaps and detergent Cleaning clothes.
• Capillary action i.e. rising of oil in the wick of a lamp.
• Flying insect can walk on water surface.
• A drop of falling liquid is always in spherical shape.
• Glass melt on heating and takes up rounded shape which has
minimum surface area.
• Small needle or thin plates such as shaving blade can float
on water if these are kept carefully on the surface of water
due to surface tension.
Viscosity
The internal resistance to the flow of liquid is called viscosity.
Or,
The viscosity of liquid may viscosityd as resistance produced by one
layer of liquid flowing over adjacent layer with different velocity.
Example:
Rate of flow: water >mustard oil > honey >glycerin
Order of intermolecular force: water < mustard oil < honey < glycerin
Order of viscosity: water < mustard oil < honey < glycerin
Derivation of viscosity
Application of viscosity
• It helps to choose a suitable lubricant for specific machine to
reduce friction and as shock absorber.
• The knowledge of coefficient of viscosity of organic liquid is
used to find their molecular weight
• The Knowledge of viscosity of blood helps to find the flow of
it through vessel whether it is laminar or turbulent.
