1 Unit 1 – Properties of Matter Lesson 4

2 C11-1-06 Operationally define vapour pressure in terms of observable and measurable properties. C11-1-07 Operationally define normal boiling point temperature in terms of vapour pressure. C11-1-08 Interpolate and extrapolate the vapour pressure and boiling temperature of various substances from pressure versus temperature graphs.

3 Boiling or Vaporization State change from liquid to gas As you heat a liquid the particles absorb the energy and begin to move faster and further apart---eventually some particles have enough energy to escape the liquid Boiling Point – temperature at which a substance transforms from liquid to gas Normal Boiling Point – boiling point for a substance at standard pressure Condensation State change from gas to liquid As the quickest & hottest particles escape the liquid the temperature of the remaining liquid is cooled  condensation

4 If you heat a liquid you will see the temperature of that liquid increase until it reaches its boiling point At this point the energy (heat) being put into the liquid is instead used to help the particles change state Energy is used to break intermolecular attractions Temperature will remain constant The same applies to reaching melting point

5 For this reason you can find the melting or boiling point of a substance based on the plateaus of graphs

6 Plateaus will occur at the melting and boiling point of the substance Temperature remains the same at the point of phase change because as the particles slow down and condense together energy (heat) is produced Particles begin to form bonds an exothermic process; losing heat to the environment and minimizing a further decrease in temperature until the phase change is complete

7 If the temperature were to stay at the boiling point of the liquid the liquid and gas states would remain in dynamic equilibrium This requires a closed system Particles would change back and forth continually so long as the system remained closed

8 According to K-M Theory: Particles of a gas are constantly moving in random straight- line motion If the gas particles are in a container, the particles must eventually collide with the sides of the container or other gas particles When the particles collide with the sides of the container, they exert a force upon the container’s walls We call this force gas pressure

9 Pressure is defined as force per unit area The Earth's atmosphere is about 100 km thick This means each object on or above the Earth has a column of air (the atmosphere) pushing down on it The force created by this column of air is called air pressure or atmospheric pressure

10 KiloPascal (kPa) Newton of pressure per square metre of area SI unit of pressure Millibar Meteorological unit of atmospheric pressure One bar is equal to standard atmospheric pressure or 1 atmosphere. Atmosphere (atm) Derived from standard atmospheric pressure at sea level 1 atmosphere is equal to 760 mmHg, or 101.325 kPa Mm of mercury Not a common unit used today outside the laboratory, however, many barometers found in the home use both mm of mercury as well as another unit like kilopascals.

11 Pressure can be measured using several devices or instruments. One device is the Manometer Usually has a bulb or glass container on one end and can be open or closed on the other A liquid, often mercury, is placed in a U-shaped tube The pressure is measured by finding the difference in height on both sides of the tube. The greater the pressure of the gas in the bulb, the greater the force on the mercury and the higher the level of the mercury on the right side of the U- shaped tube.

12 Liquid left in an open container will eventually evaporate to dryness The particles on the surface of the liquid vaporize and leave the container If the container is sealed, the vapour is trapped and cannot leave the container Eventually, the space above the liquid becomes saturated with vapour and for every molecule that evaporates, another condenses Liquid in a closed container, at a constant temperature, reaches equilibrium with its vapour

13 rate of evaporation = rate of condensation The pressure created by the vapour at equilibrium is known as the vapour pressure, abbreviated P vap Vapour pressure is a characteristic physical property because many substances have different vapour pressures

14 Intermolecular forces determine the rate of evaporation If the intermolecular forces are lower, the amount of vapour that accumulates increases because it is easier for the particles to escape the forces of attraction in the liquid and become gaseous Lower intermolecular forces = more vapour = higher vapour pressure

15 Example: alcohol vs. water Water & rubbing alcohol on a countertop which one will disappear first? The temperature of both liquids is the same (if both at room temperature), so their intermolecular forces must determine which evaporates faster The alcohol has lower intermolecular forces than the water, so it evaporates faster.

16 Generally, the lower the forces of attraction, the higher the vapour pressure Substances that evaporate easily, such as alcohol and acetone, are said to be volatile The lower the forces of attraction, the greater the volatility Often, volatile substances are also very flammable

17 Increase in temperature = Increase in vapour The higher temperature causes more particles to have enough energy to overcome the forces of attraction of the liquid This increases the rate of evaporation, increasing the number of vapour particles… If the number of vapour particles increases, the pressure increases Decrease in temperature = increase in condensation The increase in condensation reduces the number of vapour particles, reducing the vapour pressure. Increase in temp = increase in number of vapour particles = increase in vapour pressure

19 Boiling - when vaporization occurs throughout the liquid and the temperature of the liquid remains constant This is known as an operational definition of boiling The boiling point of a substance is defined as the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a substance is equal to the atmospheric pressure. Temperature of a liquid increases = increase in vapour pressure Bubbles of vapour begin to form in the liquid and rise towards the surface Once the pressure inside the bubble is great enough to overcome the atmospheric pressure, the bubble is able to release the vapour it contains If the atmospheric pressure is greater than the vapour pressure, the bubble will be kept below the surface until the pressure increases.

21 Higher intermolecular forces = lower the vapour pressure Therefore, the greater amount of energy needed to produce enough vapour, so that vapour pressure equals atmospheric pressure Since boiling occurs when atmospheric pressure and vapour pressure are equal, any change in pressure will produce a change in the boiling point The normal boiling point of a substance is defined as the temperature when vapour pressure equals standard pressure (1 atmosphere, 101.3 kPa, 760 mmHg, 760 torr).

22 Lower atmospheric pressure = lower boiling point Since less vapour pressure is required, less heat is needed Example: longer cooking time to prepare foods at higher altitudes At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lower because the column of air is shorter The lower the air pressure, the lower the boiling point If we were to try to hard boil an egg at a high altitude, the water would boil at a much lower temperature and the egg would take much longer to cook Pressure cookers are often used to speed up cooking Increases the pressure inside the pot  increases boiling point  higher temperature at which water boils = shorter the cooking time.
