(a)
Interpretation: The term surface tension and its dependence on the strength of the intermolecular force need to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Because of the intermolecular force of attraction between particles, different interconversions are possible between these three states like evaporation, condensation, sublimation etc. The intermolecular forces exist between different molecules and are mainly 4 types;
- London dispersion force
- Hydrogen bond
- Dipole-dipole bond
- Ion-dipole bond
The order of intermolecular force strength can be written as:
London force < Dipole-dipole < ion-dipole < Hydrogen bonding.
(b)
Interpretation: The term viscosity and its dependence on the strength of the intermolecular force need to be determined.

EBK CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES
- An amorphous solid can sometimes be converted to a crystalline solid by a process called annealing. Annealing consists of heating the substance to a temperature just below the melting point of the crystalline form and then cooling it slowly. Explain why this process helps produce a crystalline solid.arrow_forwardWhy do liquids have a vapor pressure? Do all liquids have vapor pressures? Explain. Do solids exhibit vapor pressure? Explain. How does vapor pressure change with changing temperature? Explain.arrow_forwardDescribe the behavior of a liquid and its vapor in a closed vessel as the temperature increases.arrow_forward
- The phase diagram for elemental sulfur is shown in Figure 6.18. Figure 6.18 Phase diagram for elemental sulfur. a How many allotropes are shown? b What is the stable allotrope of sulfur under normal conditions of temperature and pressure? c Describe the changes to sulfur as its temperature is increased from 25C while at 1atm pressure.arrow_forwardConsider the following data for xenon: Triple point: 121C, 280 torr Normal melting point: 112C Normal boiling point: 107C Which is more dense, Xe(s) or Xe(l)? How do the melting point and boiling point of xenon depend on pressure?arrow_forwardA common prank on college campuses is to switch the salt and sugar on dining hall tables. which is usually easy because the substances look so much alike. Yet, despite the similarity in their appearance, these two substances differ greatly in their properties because one is a molecular solid and the other is an ionic solid. How do the properties differ and why?arrow_forward
- Using the explanation of unbalanced forces as the source of surface tension, justify why it requires energy to increase the surface area of a liquid. Is there any circumstance in which energy is given off when increasing a liquids surface area?arrow_forwardIf you've ever opened a bottle of rubbing alcohol or other solvent on a warm day, you may have heard a little “whoosh” as the vapor that had built up above the liquid escapes. Describe on a microscopic basis how a vapor pressure builds up in a closed container above a liquid. What processes in the container give rise to this phenomenon?arrow_forwardUse the following vapor pressure data to answer the questions: Liquid Vapor pressure torr Temperature (C) A CH3COOCH3 400 40.0 B C7H16 400 78.0 In which liquid are the intermolecular attractive forces the strongest? Explain. Will the vapor pressure of CH3COOCH3 at 78C be higher or lower than 400torr? Explain.arrow_forward
