In a liquid• molecules are in constant motion

• there are appreciable intermolecular forces

• molecules are close together

• Liquids are almost incompressible

• Liquids do not fill the container

Gas

H2O(g) Steam

Liquids

The two key properties we need to describe areEVAPORATIONEVAPORATION and its opposite CONDENSATIONCONDENSATION

add energy and break intermolecular bonds

EVAPORATION

release energy and form intermolecular bonds

• To evaporate, molecules must have sufficient energy to break IM forces.

• Molecules at the surface break away and become gas.

• Only those with enough KE escape.• Breaking IM forces requires energy. The

process of evaporation is endothermicendothermic.• Evaporation is a cooling process.• It requires heat.

Evaporation

Change from gas to liquid

Achieves a dynamic equilibrium with vaporization in a closed system.

What is a closed system?

A closed system means matter can’t go in or out. (put a cork in it)

What the heck is a “dynamic equilibrium?”

Condensation

When first sealed, the molecules gradually escape the surface of the liquid.

As the molecules build up above the liquid - some condense back to a liquid.

The rate at which the molecules evaporate and condense are equal.

Dynamic Equilibrium

As time goes by the rate of vaporization remains constant but the rate of condensation increases because there are more molecules to condense.

Equilibrium is reached when:Rate of Vaporization = Rate of Condensation

Molecules are constantly changing phase “dynamic”

The total amount of liquid and vapor remains constant “equilibrium”

Dynamic Equilibrium

• Vaporization is an endothermic process - it requires heat.

• Energy is required to overcome intermolecular forces

• Responsible for cool earth• Why we sweat
