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 25C (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
11
Surface Tension Surface Tension = Energy required to ↑ surface area = measure of inward pull Strong attractive forces High surface tension
14
Capillary Action Upward movement of liquid in narrow tube = capillary action
16
meniscus of liquid: Concave vs Convex
17
Force(H2O-glass) Force(H2O- H2O) Force(Hg-glass) Force(Hg-Hg)
