(a) What is the significance of the critical point in a phase diagram? (b) Why does the line that separates the gas and liquid phases end at the critical point?
(a) Do you expect the viscosity of glycerol, \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{5}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}\), to be larger or smaller than that of 1-propanol, \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{7} \mathrm{OH}\) ? (b) Explain. [Section 11.3]
Explain the following observations: (a) The surface tension of \(\mathrm{CHBr}_{3}\) is greater than that of \(\mathrm{CHCl}_{3}\). (b) As temperature increases, oil flows faster through a narrow tube. (c) Raindrops that collect on a waxed automobile hood take on a nearly spherical shape. (d) Oil droplets that collect on a waxed automobile hood take on a flat shape.
As the intermolecular attractive forces between molecules increase in magnitude, do you expect each of the following to increase or decrease in magnitude? (a) Vapor pressure, (b) heat of vaporization, (c) boiling point, (d) freezing point, (e) viscosity, (f) surface tension, (g) critical temperature.
One of the attractive features of ionic liquids is their low vapor pressure, which in turn tends to make them nonflammable. Why do you think ionic liquids have lower vapor pressures than most room-temperature molecular liquids?
