Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The difference between evaporation at and below the boiling point of a liquid is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Liquids are composed of molecules that are mutually held by intermolecular forces of attraction.
These molecules are constantly moving within the liquid and possess certain amount of energy at any given temperature.
The state of the liquid can be altered by modifying these energies of the potent molecules.
Evaporation is defined as a process, in which the state of a substance changes from liquid to its vapor state below its boiling point. It is also called as vaporization. It varies with surface area, intermolecular forces and temperature. Evaporation is the endothermic process

- Why do liquids have a vapor pressure? Do all liquids have vapor pressures? Explain. Do solids exhibit vapor pressure? Explain. How does vapor pressure change with changing temperature? Explain.arrow_forwardIndicate whether each of the following statements concerning boiling and boiling point is true or false. a. A liquid can be made to boil at temperatures higher than its normal boiling point. b. A liquid can be made to boil at temperatures lower than its normal boiling point. c. In a boiling liquid, vapor formation occurs within the body of the liquid. d. To compare the boiling points of two different liquids, the external pressure should be the same.arrow_forwardWhat are intermolecular forces? How do they differ from intramolecular forces? What are dipole-dipole forces? How do typical dipole-dipole forces differ from hydrogen bonding interactions? In what ways are they similar? What are London dispersion forces? How do typical London dispersion forces differ from dipole-dipole forces? In what ways are they similar? Describe the relationship between molecular size and strength of London dispersion forces. Place the major types of intermolecular forces in order of increasing strength. Is there some overlap? That is, can the strongest London dispersion forces be greater than some dipole-dipole forces? Give an example of such an instance.arrow_forward
