Concept introduction:
Intermolecular forces determine the properties of liquid and solid. The attractive forces that occur in all types of particle-like molecules, ions, and atoms are called intermolecular forces.
Types of intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding, and ion-dipole forces.
The most important properties of liquids are viscosity and surface tension.
The measure that resists liquid flow is called viscosity. Viscosity is the ease by which each molecule of the liquid can move. Viscosity and intermolecular forces are proportional to each other. Low viscosity is due to weak intermolecular force in the molecule. On the other hand, strong intermolecular force in a molecule causes high viscosity.
The measure that resists liquid from spread out and increases the surface area is called surface tension. The difference in intermolecular forces in molecules at the surface of the liquid and in its interior causes surface tension.

Interpretation:
Whether pentane or neopentane that has higher viscosity should be determined.

- Correct each molecule in the drawing area below so that it has the skeletal ("line") structure it would have if it were dissolved in a 0.1 M aqueous solution of HCI. If there are no changes to be made, check the No changes box under the drawing area. No changes.

Using Maxwell’s velocity distribution, one can also calculate the mean velocity and the most probable velocity (mp) of a collection of molecules. The equations used for these two quantities are vmean=(8RT/πM)1/2 and vmp=(2RT/M)1/2 These values have a fixed relationship to each other.(a) Arrange these three quantities in order of increasing magnitude.(b) Show that the relative magnitudes are independent of the molar mass of the gas.(c) Use the smallest velocity as a reference for establishing the order of magnitude and determine the relationship between the larger and smaller values.arrow_forwardThe reaction of solid dimethylhydrazine, (CH3)2N2H2, and liquefied dinitrogen tetroxide, N2O4, has been investigated for use as rocket fuel. The reaction produces the gases carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and water vapor (H2O), which are ejected in the exhaust gases. In a controlled experiment, solid dimethylhydrazine was reacted with excess dinitrogen tetroxide, and the gases were collected in a closed balloon until a pressure of 2.50 atm and a temperature of 400.0 K were reached.(a) What are the partial pressures of CO2, N2, and H2O?(b) When the CO2 is removed by chemical reaction, what are the partial pressures of the remaining gases?arrow_forward
- One liter of chlorine gas at 1 atm and 298 K reacts completely with 1.00 L of nitrogen gas and 2.00 L of oxygen gas at the same temperature and pressure. A single gaseous product is formed, which fills a 2.00 L flask at 1.00 atm and 298 K. Use this information to determine the following characteristics of the product:(a) its empirical formula;(b) its molecular formula;(c) the most favorable Lewis formula based on formal charge arguments (the central atom is N);(d) the shape of the molecule.arrow_forwardHow does the square root mean square velocity of gas molecules vary with temperature?
