these properties: surface tension, viscosity, vapor pressure, boiling point, and molar heat of
vaporization
This lesson explores the kinetic molecular theory and how it pertains to the properties of solids and liquids. You'll
learn the properties of solids and liquids, discover the types of intermolecular attractions that occur between them
and gain an understanding how phase changes happen .

Types of Intermolecular Forces
Intermolecular forces are electrostatic in nature and include van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds. Molecules
in liquids are held to other molecules by intermolecular interactions, which are weaker than the intramolecular
interactions that hold the atoms together within molecules and polyatomic ions. Transitions between the solid and
liquid or the liquid and gas phases
are due to changes in
intermolecular interactions but do
not affect intramolecular
interactions. The three major types
of intermolecular interactions are
dipole–dipole interactions, London
dispersion forces (these two are
often referred to collectively as van
der Waals forces), and hydrogen
bonds. Dipole–dipole
interactions arise from the
electrostatic interactions of the
positive and negative ends of
molecules with permanent dipole
moments; their strength is
proportional to the magnitude of
the dipole moment and to 1/r3,
where r is the distance between
dipoles. London dispersion
forces are due to the formation
of instantaneous dipole moments in
polar or nonpolar molecules as a
result of short-lived fluctuations of
electron charge distribution, which
in turn cause the temporary
formation of an induced dipole in
adjacent molecules. their energy
falls off as 1/r6. Larger atoms tend
to be more polarizable than smaller
ones because their outer electrons
are less tightly bound and are
therefore more easily
perturbed. Hydrogen bonds are
especially strong dipole–dipole Figure 1.3. Types of Intermolecular Forces
interactions between molecules
that have hydrogen bonded to a highly electronegative atom, such as O, N, or F. The resulting partially positively
charged H atom on one molecule (the hydrogen bond donor) can interact strongly with a lone pair of electrons of a
partially negatively charged O, N, or F atom on adjacent molecules (the hydrogen bond acceptor). Because of strong
O⋅⋅⋅H hydrogen bonding between water molecules, water has an unusually high boiling point, and ice has an open,
cage like structure that is less dense than liquid water.
Intermolecular forces and their effect on properties of liquids
VOCABULARY
Fluid =A gas or a liquid; a substance that can flow.
Surface tension =The measure of the elastic force in the surface of a liquid. It is the amount
of energy required to stretch or increase the surface of a liquid by a unit area.
Capillary action= The tendency of a liquid to rise in narrow tubes or to be drawn into small
openings
Vapor = A gaseous substance that exist naturally as a liquid or solid at normal temperature
Vapor pressure of a liquid =The equilibrium pressure of a vapor above its liquid; that is, the
pressure exerted by the vapor above the surface of the liquid in a closed container.
Boiling point= The temperature at which a liquid boil. The boiling point of a liquid when the
external pressure is 1 atm is called the normal boiling point.
Molar heat of vaporization (ΔHvap) = The energy (usually in kilojoules) required to vaporize
1 mole of a liquid at a given temperature
Intermolecular (or interparticle ) forces are weak interactions between particles. They
decrease as you go from solid → liquid → gas. Remember that in a gas the particles have
the highest degree of freedom of movement and negligible or weak intermolecular forces .
As the intermolecular attraction increases,
• The vapor pressure ( the pressure of the vapor that is in equilibrium with its liquid) decreases
• The boiling point ( the temperature at which the vapor pressure becomes equal to the pressure exerted on the
surface of the liquid) increases
• Surface tension ( the resistance of a liquid to spread out and increase its surface area) increases
• Viscosity ( the resistance of a liquid to flow) increases.
Higher the intermolecular forces between the liquid particles, harder it is for it to escape into the vapor phase, ie.,
you need more energy to convert it from liquid to the vapor phase, in other words, higher its boiling point.

➢ Describe the effect of concentration on the colligative properties of solutions
Percentage by Weight
Symbol: (w / w %)
Definition: It is defined as the amount of solute
present in 100 g of solution.
Percentage by Volume
Symbol: (V / V %)
Definition: It is defined as the volume of solute
present in 100 mL of solution.
Weight by Volume
Symbol: (W / V %)
Definition: It is defined as the amount of solute
present in 100 mL of solution.
Unit: mg/L
Mole Fraction
Symbol : X ( lower-case Greek letter chi, χ)
Definition: It is the ratio of the number of moles
of solute and the total number of moles of solute
and solvent .
Molarity:
Symbol : M
Definition: Molarity of any solution is number of moles of solute per liter of
solution
Unit: mol/litre
Formula:
Molarity = Number of moles of solute / Volume of solution in liter.
Molality
Symbol: m
Definition: Molality of any solution is represented as the number of moles of solute present per kg
of solvent
Unit: mol/kg
Formula:
Molality(m) = Number of moles of solute / Mass
of solvent in Kg
Note: Why m is not affected by change in temperature?
Since it is dependent on mass of solute and mass do not change to small shift in temperature due to close
packing of solid atoms therefore it is independent of temperature change.

Stoichiometry Calculation
A balanced chemical equation gives the identity of the reactants and the products as well as the accurate number
of molecules or moles of each that are consumed or produced. Stoichiometry is a collective term for the
quantitative relationships between the masses, the numbers of moles, and the numbers of particles (atoms,
molecules, and ions) of the reactants and the products in a balanced chemical equation. A stoichiometric quantity is
the amount of product or reactant specified by the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation.

Solve the problem below:
A gas in a system has constant pressure. The surroundings around the system lose 62 J
of heat and does 474 J of work onto the system. What is the internal energy of the
system?
Heats of formation
Enthalpy is the total heat absorbed in a process at constant pressure if the only work done is pressure-volume work.
It is the sum of the internal energy of the system and the product of pressure and volume. Enthalpy can be described
by the equation:
H= U + PV
P4+5O2→2P2O5
and then the product of that reaction in turn reacts with water to form phosphorus acid
2P2O5+6H2O→4H3PO4
In the above equation the P2O5 is an intermediate, and if we add the two equations the intermediate can cancel
out. Hess's law states that if two reactions can be added into a third, the energy of the third is the sum of the
energy of the reactions that were combined
Enthalpy is a state function which means the energy change between two states is independent of the path. Since
equation 1 and 2 add to become equation 3, we can say:
ΔH3=ΔH1+ΔH2
Hess's Law says that if equations can be combined to form another equation, the enthalpy of reaction of the
resulting equation is the sum of the enthalpies of all the equations that combined to produce it.

Reaction Rate
During the course of the reaction shown on
figure 4.1, reactants A and B are consumed
while the concentration of product AB
increases. The reaction rate can be determined
by measuring how fast the concentration of A or
B decreases, or by how fast the concentration of
AB increases.
A+B⟶AB
Figure 4.1: The above picture shows a hypothetical
For the stoichiometrically complicated Reaction: reaction profile in which the reactants (red) decrease in
concentration as the products increase in concentration
(blue).
Looking at Figure 4.1 above, we can see that the rate can be measured in terms of either reactant (A or B) or either
product (C or D). Not all variables are needed to solve for the rate. Therefore, if you have the value for "A" as well
as the value for "a" you can solve for the reaction rate. You can also notice from Equation above that the change in
reactants over the change in time must have a negative sign in front of them. The reason for this is because the
reactants are decreasing as a function of time, the rate would come out to be negative (because it is the reverse
rate). Therefore, putting a negative sign in front of the variable will allow for the solution to be a positive rate.
Chemical reactions vary greatly in the speed at which they occur. Some are ultrafast, while others may take millions
of years to reach equilibrium.
Definition of Reaction Rate
The Reaction Rate for a given chemical reaction is the measure of the change in concentration of the reactants or
the change in concentration of the products per unit time. The speed of a chemical reaction may be defined as the
change in concentration of a substance divided by the time interval during which this change is observed:
For a reaction of the form A+B→CA+B→C, the rate can be expressed in terms of the
change in concentration of any of its components
in which Δ[A] is the difference between the concentration of A over the time
interval t2–t1:
Δ[A]=[A]2–[A]1
Notice the minus signs in the first two examples above. The concentration of a reactant always decreases with time,
so Δ[A] and Δ[A] are both negative. Since negative rates do not make much sense, rates expressed in terms of a
reactant concentration are always preceded by a minus sign to make the rate come out positive.

Reaction Order
The reaction rate for a given reaction is a crucial tool that enables us to calculate the specific order of a reaction.
The order of a reaction is important in that it enables us to classify specific chemical reactions easily and efficiently.
Knowledge of the reaction order quickly allows us to understand numerous factors within the reaction including
the rate law, units of the rate constant, half-life, and much more. Reaction order can be calculated from the rate
law by adding the exponential values of the reactants in the rate law.
Rate=k[A]s[B]t
Reaction Order=s+t
It is important to note that although the reaction order can be determined from the rate law, there is in general, no
relationship between the reaction order and the stoichiometric coefficients in the chemical equation.AIs shown in
the equation above, the complete reaction order is equal to the sum of "s" and "t." But what does each of these
variables mean? Each variable represents the order of the reaction with respect to the reactant it is placed on. In
this certain situation, s is the order of the reaction with respect to [A] and t is the order of the reaction with respect
to [B].
Here is an example of how you can look at this: If a reaction order with respect to [A] was 2 (s = 2) and [B] was 1 (t
= 1), then that basically means that the concentration of reactant A is decreasing by a factor of 2 and the
concentration of [B] is decrease by a factor of 1. So, if you have a reaction order of Zero (i.e., s+t=0), this basically
means that the concentration of the reactants does not affect the rate of reaction. You could remove or add
reactants to the mixture but the rate will not change.
A list of the different reaction rate equations for zero-, first-, and second-order reactions can be seen in Table 4.1.
This table also includes further equations that can be determine by this equation once the order of the reaction is
known (Half-life, integrated rate law, etc.)

Collision Theory Try This
Chemical reactions have been a part of this world ever Chemical or Physical Change? Directions:
since everything began. From Big bang to the present Identify what kind of change occurs by
day, everything happening around us has something to writing the word Physical change or
do with chemical reactions and chemical processes. Chemical change.
Chemical reactions are common in our daily lives: from
cooking, eating, cleaning to the different chemical
processes like respiration, corrosion and fermentation.
How our body lives and grows are results of many
chemical reactions that takes place, although you may
not recognize them. This is the reason we need to
understand how chemical processes takes place, be it
naturally occurring or not.
The collision theory states that reacting substances must come into contact (collide) with enough activation
energy, and in the correct orientation (facing the correct way), so that their electron shells can rearrange to form
the products of the reaction. Therefore, any factor which changes the frequency or energy of the collisions will
change the rate of the reaction.
Surface area is the measure of how much exposed area a solid object has, expressed in square units. In a reaction
between a solid and a liquid, the more finely divided a solid is, the faster is the rate of reaction. Likewise, as you
powdered a solid, its surface area becomes greater, thus the particles have higher chance of colliding and faster
reaction happens.
Catalyst
Reaction rates generally increase with increasing reactant concentration, increasing temperature, and the addition
of a catalyst. Physical properties such as high solubility also increase reaction rates. Solvent polarity can either
increase or decrease the rate of reaction, but increasing solvent viscosity generally decreases reaction rates.
Let’s Test
Classification of Catalysts
Catalysts may be classified generally according to their physical state, their chemical nature, or the nature of the
reactions that they catalyze.
Catalysts may be gases, liquids, or solids. In homogeneous catalysis, the catalyst is molecularly dispersed in the
same phase (usually gaseous or liquid) as the reactants. In heterogeneous catalysis the reactants and
the catalyst are in different phases, separated by a phase boundary. Most commonly, heterogeneous catalysts are
solids, and the reactants are gases or liquids.
