  1. Properties of Liquids Pre-Lab

  2. Surface Tension = resistance of a liquid to an increase in its surface area • Surface molecules are not involved in all possible intermolecular bonding • Requires energy to go the surface, so liquid resists increases in surface area • The higher the intermolecular forces, the higher the surface tension 2. Capillary Action = spontaneous rising of a liquid up a narrow tube • Adhesive Forces = polar liquid has intermolecular forces with polar surface • Cohesive Forces = intermolecular forces of the liquid for itself • Water: Adhesive (H-Bonding) > Cohesive, so concave meniscus • Mercury: Cohesive (London) > Adhesive, so convex meniscus

  3. 3. We will use the distance up a capillary the liquid climbs to find Surface Tension • We will use the known surface tension of water to find the tube radius g = surface tension [kg/s2] h = height [m] d = density [kg/m3] g = accel. gravity = [9.8 m/s2] b) We will then find the surface tension of an uknown (ethanol)

  4. Viscosity = a liquid’s resistance to flow • Large intermolecular forces would cause high viscosity (glycerol) • Large, complex molecules can become physically entangled (grease) h = coefficient of viscosity[g/cm·s] r = radius of sphere = 0.80cm do = density of fluid = 1.26 g/cm3 g = accel. gravity = 980 cm/s2 d = density of glass sphere = 2.23 g/cm3 v = velocity of sphere = length of fall [cm]/time of fall [s] = [cm/s] 5. Polarity and Solubility: “Like Dissolves Like” • The polarity of three solvents will be investigated i. H2O ii. CH3OH • CHCl3 • Two solids and one liquid will be used to determine polarity i. Na2Cr2O7 = ionic = extremely polar ii. I2 = nonpolar (only dispersion forces) • Vegetable Oil = nonpolar

  5. Calculation of Molecular Size • We will trap a single layer of oleic acid on a water surface • We will use the area of oleic acid to find its length and area/molecule • PreLab (page 5): 1 drop of 0.0060 M produces 190 cm2 film d = 0.895 g/cm3 MW = 282.47 g/mol 40 drops = 1 ml 1a: 1b: 1c: 2a:
