1 Properties of Liquids

2 Properties of Liquids Definite volume Indefinite shape
Particles close together, but can move little bit Liquids can flow

3 Density liquids much greater than gases
Ex: at 25C (room temp) DH2O(l) is 1250x greater than DH2O(g)

4 Liquids can be compressed but change in volume is very slight & requires enormous pressure

5 Viscosity Liquids exhibit viscosity Viscosity = resistance to flow

6 Viscosity depends on: strength of attractive forces
sizes & shapes of molecules & temperature

7 As temperature , viscosity 
Easier to flow As temperature , viscosity  More difficult to flow

8 Oil in engines prevents direct metal to metal contact
thin film oil on surfaces needed to prevent flaking of metal oil too thick: won’t circulate at low temps oil too thin: lose film strength at high temps

9 Surface Tension Particles at surface of liquid:
- exist in unbalanced environment - no attraction from above to balance attractions from below

10

11 Surface Tension Surface Tension = Energy required to ↑ surface area = measure of inward pull Strong attractive forces  High surface tension

12

13

14 Capillary Action Upward movement of liquid in narrow tube = capillary action

15

16 meniscus of liquid: Concave vs Convex

17 Force(H2O-glass)  Force(H2O- H2O) Force(Hg-glass)  Force(Hg-Hg)
