Liquids

By Jason, Dean, Noami, Katy, Gaby, Erika, and Claire

Question:

What is so special about liquids, and

what kind of kinetic energy do liquids have?

 What forces hold particles together to

form a liquid?

What keeps liquids from changing into a

solid or a gas?

 What are the properties of liquids?

THIS IS WHAT WE WILL FIND OUT!!

Vaporization The conversion of a liquid to a gas.

Evaporation When vaporization happens at the surface on a liquid that isn t boiling. Some molecules in the liquid break away and enter the gas or vapor state.

Vapor Pressure When liquid is in a sealed container some of the particles vaporize and bounce off the container. Or the force of the gas above the water.

Boiling Point
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of liquid is just equal to the atmospheric pressure.

There are many kinds of boiling here is boiling at 60 degrees Celsius and more.

The Boiling Point Video

Normal Boiling Point

The boiling point of a liquid at a pressure of 101.3 kPa. Or STP. There are other ways to measure such as: psi,in of Hg, mm Hg, torr and also 1atm.They all mean the same thing.

Evaporation Liquid converts into gas of vapor which is vaporization. When this occurs with a liquid that isn t boiling this process is evaporation.

Evaporation

Molecules in the liquid break away and enter the gas or vapor state only the ones with enough kinetic energy. Evaporation is cooling process

Boiling point

Heating allows larger numbers of particles at the liquid s surface to overcome the attractive forces keeping them in the liquid state.

Boiling Point Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is just equal to the external pressure. Boiling is a process similar to evaporation.

A Model For Liquids Particles in liquids are free to go past one another. - Unlike gases, liquid particles attract to each other rather than separate. - These attractive forces are called intermolecular forces.
-

A Model For Liquids Molecules vibrate to keep the Kinetic energy moving. - However, they need much more energy to undergo a gaseous state.
-

A Model For Liquids Therefore solids and liquids are very similar because no matter the pressure that is put on their volumes, it will not change the volume. Solids and liquids are called condensed states of matter.
