properties of volatile liquids

. The lowering of the average kinetic energy results in a temperature drop in the liquid. The conversion of a liquid into its vapour at its boiling point is called as vaporization. The tendency of molecules in the liquids to escape from its surface is called volat..

The important properties of liquids a..

Vapour pressure measures the tendency for the molecules to escape from liquid to the gas phase. At lower temperatures the vapour pressure of a liquid is much lower than the pressure on the surface of the liquid. When the temperature of the liquid is gra..

Property Solid Liquid Gas Shape and volume Because of strong inter-particle forces, solids have definite shape and volume Because of slightly weaker inter-particle forces, liquids do not have definite shape but possess definite volume In the a..

The Liquid State - The liquid state lies between the gaseous and the solid state. Liquids are neither completely disordered nor completely ordered. The cohesive forces between the liquid particles are strong enough to keep them together but these particles do..

Dihalides are sweet smelling, colorless liquids with relatively high boiling points. The boiling point of ethylidene chloride is less than that of ethylene dichloride..

Beryllium halides are covalent while all other halides are ionic and are readily soluble in water. BeCl 2 is relatively low melting solid and volatile while others have high melting points. BaCl 2 has very high melting point. BeCl 2 is soluble in organic solvents due to its cov..

Water is the most common substance on the earth's surface. Water has interesting structure and this accounts for its many unusual properties. One of the most important of these is its ability to dissolve a variety of compounds. It dissolves ionic compounds, many polar inorganic and organ..

a) Physical state - Dimethylether and ethyl methyl ether are gases at ordinary temperature. The other lower homologes are colourless, pleasant smelling, volatile liquids with typical ether smel..

1. Physical state - Methanol is a gas at room temperature. Ethanol is a volatile liquid 294K. Other aldehyde and ketones are liquids or solids at room temperature. Lower aldehydes have sharp pungent odors. As the size of the molecule increases, the odor becomes less pu..
