KMT meets liquidsKMT meets liquids

Ideal gas is a gas even at absolute zeroReal gas condenses to liquid at low T/high P

Attractive forces exist between real gas molecules

3

Intermolecular attractionsIntermolecular attractions

Attractive forces exist between all atoms/molecules

Relative strength of attractions indicated byBoiling point (higher b.p. = stronger attractions)Vapor pressure (high v.p. = weaker attractions)∆Hvaporization (large ∆Hvap = stronger attractions)

4

Instantaneous or momentary dipolesInstantaneous or momentary dipoles

e– distribution is asymmetric –– just for a momentAtom/molecule is polar –– just for a moment

5

Induced dipolesInduced dipoles

Momentary dipole in one atom induces a dipole in a neighboring atom . . . which induces a dipole in another neighboring atom, and so on, causing a little ripple of dipoles

6

Dispersion forceDispersion force

Taken together, instantaneous & induced dipoles create an attractive force between molecules, called the dispersion force

Each dipole is tiny, but the constant ripple of countless dipoles throughout the substance makes this the primary attractive force between molecules

Even noble gas atoms show dispersion force between atoms

7

PolarizabilityPolarizability

Magnitude of dispersion force depends on polarizability

Larger e– cloud = more polarizable Dispersion force increases with increasing molar massMelting and boiling points of molecular substances

generally increase as molar mass increases

8

Molar mass & boiling pointMolar mass & boiling point

For compounds of similar structure, boiling point increases as molar mass increases

9

PolarizabilityPolarizability

Polarizability is greater in elongated molecules than in compact ones of similar mass

10

Permanent dipolesPermanent dipoles

Polar molecules tend to arrange themselves +/– to maximize attractions

Extra ordering increases tendency to stick together in liquid state

Boiling point of a polar substance is higher than that of a nonpolar substance of similar mass.

11

Nonpolar/polarNonpolar/polar

Molecules have similar masses

Permanent dipoles increase b.p.

13

The van der Waals forcesThe van der Waals forces

Together, dispersion and pemanent dipole forces are known as the van der Waals forcesWhen comparing substances of comparable mass

(±10%), the presence of a permanent dipole increases boiling point significantly

When comparing substances of different molar masses, the dispersion force (related to mass) is more important than the permanent dipole

Which would you expect to have the highest boiling point, and why: C3H8, CO2, CH3CN

15

ExamplesExamples

Which would you expect to have the highest boiling point, and why: C3H8, CO2, CH3CNmasses similar (C3H8 = 44, CO2 = 44, CH3CN = 41)

CH3CN polar = highest bp

Actual values: C3H8 = 231K, CO2 = 195K, CH3CN =

16

ExamplesExamples

Arrange these in order of increasing boiling point: Ne, He, Cl2, (CH3)2CO, O2, O3

17

ExamplesExamples

Arrange these in order of increasing boiling point: Ne, He, Cl2, (CH3)2CO, O2, O3

masses: Ne = 20, He = 4, Cl2 = 71, (CH3)2CO = 58, O2 = 32, O3 = 48

Ordered by mass: He, Ne, O2, O3, (CH3)2CO, Cl2

(CH3)2CO is polar & has large surface area = higher bp

Predict He, Ne, O2, O3, Cl2, (CH3)2CO

Actual values: He = 4K, Ne = 27K, O2 = 90K, O3 = 161K, Cl2 = 238K, (CH3)2CO = 329K

19

Weak bond to neighboring O is a hydrogen bond

O–H bond is very polar, and atoms are very small

Dipoles are close together, so their attraction is very strong

H atom is covalently bonded to its own O and weakly bonded (dotted line) to the neighboring O

20

Hydrogen bondingHydrogen bonding

Hydrogen bonding occurs only between molecules containing N–H, O–H, and F–H bonds

Hydrogen bonding is much stronger than ordinary dispersion/dipole → much higher boiling points than expected for their mass

Hydrogen bonds are not as strong as covalent bonds (15-40 kJ/mol, vs >150 kJ/mol)

Metallic substancesMetal cations in sea of electronsGenerally high mp & bp

Network covalent solids (e.g. diamond)Melting = disrupt covalent bondsVERY high mp & bp

24

VaporizationVaporization

At liquid surface, faster molecules have enough kinetic energy to escape (vaporize or evaporate)

As higher-energy molecules leave the liquid, average kinetic energy of the liquid decreases

Temperature of liquid decreases (evaporative cooling)

25

VaporizationVaporization

For liquid temperature to remain constant during evaporation, liquid must absorb energy from surroundings

Amount of energy liquid must absorb to keep temperature constant during evaporation = enthalpy (heat) of vaporization (∆Hvaporization)

Vaporization is endothermic, so ∆Hvap is positive

26

ExampleExample

How much energy is required to vaporize 2.35 g of diethyl ether, (C2H5)2O, at 298 K? ∆Hvap for diethyl ether at 298 K is 29.1 kJ/mol.

Liquid-vapor equilibriumLiquid-vapor equilibrium

When rate of vaporization = rate of condensation in a closed sysem, system has reached equilibrium

28

Vapor PressureVapor Pressure

Pressure exerted by vapor in dynamic equilibrium w its liquid = vapor pressure of that liquid

Vapor pressure depends only on type of liquid & temperature

As long as both phases are present, amount of liquid in container does not affect vapor pressure

Liquids with high vapor pressure at room temperature are volatile (evaporate easily)

30

Vapor pressure and boilingVapor pressure and boiling In open container, evaporation occurs only at surface As temperature increases, evaporation increases

At some point, evaporation begins to occur throughout the liquid instead of just at the surface: boiling!

31

Vapor pressureVapor pressure & boiling & boiling

Vapor bubbles form throughout liquid

Bubbles rise to surface, burst, release vapor

All energy is used to convert liquid to vapor, so temperature remains constant while liquid boils

32

Boiling pointBoiling point

Boiling begins when the liquid’s vapor pressure matches the external pressure of the atmosphere

The temperature at which this occurs is the boiling point

When the external atmospheric pressure = 1 atm, the boiling point is called the normal boiling point

33

The critical pointThe critical point

Liquid heated in a rigid sealed container does not boil Vapor pressure and vapor density increase Liquid density decreases Vapor & liquid densities become equal & meniscus disappears

This point is called the critical point
