• Complete practical investigation “Using models to explain the densities of water and ice”
Investigating some properties of water
• First we will compare these properties of water with other substances:– Melting and boiling points – Surface tension– Viscosity
• Then we will study intermolecular forces in order to explain these unusual properties!

Boiling points of hydrides - conclusions
Outcome 15
• As you go down a group, the boiling points of the hydrides increase.
• However, H2O, HF, and NH3 do not fit the pattern – we would expect them to have the lowest boiling points in their group, but instead they have anomalously high boiling points!
Tin Hydride – Melting point -146C- Boiling point -52C
Stations activity
Outcome 14
• Complete the investigations of two other important properties of water – surface tension and viscosity!
Surface Tension• the tendency of a liquid to resist increase in its
surface area.• A high surface tension means the surface behaves
like a taut skin and “holds in” the water inside.• The liquid forms spherical droplets (as this
minimises the surface area) rather than spreading out as a thin film.
• Measured in J/m2(it is the energy required to increase the surface area by 1m2)
Outcome 14
Viscosity
– The resistance of a liquid to flow– The higher the viscosity, the less easily the liquid
flows.– Measured in N s /m2) (it is the force required in 1
second for the liquid to move 1m2)
Outcome 14
Capillary action (non-syllabus)
• The tendency of a liquid to rise up a tube against the pull of gravity.
Outcome 14
Capillary action – why?• Cohesive forces = forces between
the molecules of the liquid• Adhesive forces = forces between
the liquid and the tube walls.• These two forces are enough to
overcome gravity• In water, the adhesive forces
between water and glass are stronger than the cohesive forces within the water, resulting in a convex meniscus.
• In mercury, it is the opposite.

Polarity - summary
• A bond is polar if one end is slightly positive and one end is slightly negative, thanks to different electronegativities of the atoms.
• A molecule is polar if one end of the molecule is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative due to the additive effect of the polar bonds.
• If the molecule’s shape means that the dipoles of each bond cancel each other out, the molecule is nonpolar overall.
Polarity - summary
• To decide whether a molecule is polar or not:1. Use electronegativities to decide the polarity of
the bonds2. Use the shape of the molecule to decide
whether the polar bonds cancel out or combine to produce a net dipole.
Intermolecular forces – take notes on w/s
1. Dispersion Forces – occur in all substances.
2. Dipole - Dipole Forces – occur in polar substances only
3. Hydrogen Bonding – occur in polar substances that have an H bonded to an F, O or N
Outcome 14
Strength
Dipole - Dipole Forces• Occurs between polar molecules only• Arise from the transient attraction of the positive
pole of one molecule to the negative pole of the other.
• Click here to view an animation of dipole-dipole forces
Outcome 14
Hydrogen Bonding• A special type of dipole-dipole force• Occurs between molecules that have
an H atom bonded to an N, O or F atom.
• The H-N, H-O and H-F bonds are extremely polar, so the electron density is withdrawn strongly from H.
• As a result, the partially positive H of one molecule is attracted strongly to the partially negative lone pair on the N, O or F of another molecule.
• This attraction is called a hydrogen bond.
• Click here to view an animation of H bonding• Another one!
Outcome 14
Dispersion forces• Electrons are constantly
moving, so at any instant they can be unevenly distributed across a molecule.
• This can leave one end of a molecule slightly negative and the other end slightly positive – i.e there is a temporary (instantaneous) dipole.
• This induces a dipole in a neighbour molecule, causing a short-lived attraction between them. Outcome 14

Outcome 8-9
What causes surface tension?
• Molecules in the interior experience intermolecular attractions in all directions
• Molecules on the surface experience intermolecular attractions only from below and the sides i.e a net attraction downwards and want to move into the interior.
• The stronger the IMFs in a liquid, the greater its surface tension
What causes viscosity?
• When a liquid flows, the molecules slide past one another.
• Intermolecular attractions hinder this movement, resulting in viscosity (resistance to flow)
• Large, long molecules have higher viscosity than small, spherical ones.
• Due to strong H bonding, water has a much higher viscosity than its small molecular size might suggest.
Writing explanations
1. Explain what causes liquids to have surface tension.
2. Explain what causes liquids to be viscous3. Melting and boiling point
Game – matching properties to explanations
Polarity - Summary
• Both ICl and Br2 have the same number of atoms and approximately the same molecular weight, but ICl is a solid whereas Br2 is a liquid at 0oC. Why?
Polar compounds like H2S, NH3 and H2O have dipole-dipole forces present; nonpolar compounds like CH4 do not.
Polar Covalent Bonds• When the two elements in a chemical bond have
different electronegativities, the electrons will be shared unevenly between them; i.e the electrons will spend more time near one nucleus than the other.

Heat vs temperature
• Temperature: – how “hot” or “cold” something feels. – Measured in degrees celsius (°C) or in kelvin (K)
• Heat:– A form of energy– Heat flows from a hotter object to a colder object
until their temperatures are equal.– Measured in joules (J)
Heat vs temperature
• Two objects at the same temperature can contain different quantities of heat

20g copper at 100°C added
100g water at 25°CTemperature increase: 1.5°C
Heat vs temperature
• When given the same amount of heat, two substances can have different final temperatures

Specific heat capacity
• The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1°C (1K)
Specific heat capacities of various liquids (textbook. p.223)
• Water has a very high specific heat capacity – this has implications for living things and the environment

Heat changes when substances dissolve
• Exothermic process: - releases heat into surroundings.• Eg when some substances dissolve, heat is released
into the surroundings (the water), which become hotter.
• Endothermic process: - absorbs heat from surroundings
• Eg when some substances dissolve, heat is absorbed from the surroundings (the water) which become colder.
Molar heat of solution (ΔHsoln)
• The heat absorbed when one mole of a substance dissolves in water
• If ΔHsoln is positive, the process is endothermic (heat is absorbed: the temperature of the solution falls)
• If ΔHsoln is negative, the process is exothermic (heat is released; the temperature of the solution rises)
Calculating ΔHsoln – worked example 13 in textbook
a. When 11.2g sodium hydroxide at 19.2°C was dissolved in 200mL water also at 19.2°C, the temperature rose to 31.4°C. Calculate the molar heat of solution of sodium hydroxide. Take the specific heat capacity of the final solution as 4.2 J K-1 g-1
b. Use this heat of solution to calculate the expected temperature rise when 23.6g sodium hydroxide is dissolved in 1.00L (=1000g) of water
