The important properties of liquids a..

Liquids have a definite volume under given temperature and pressure conditions. Though they take the shape of the container, they maintain their volume. The intermolecular forces in liquids are strong and therefore, they do not expand to occupy all the space available (as ..

Boiling - 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..

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..

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..

. At this stage, the system exhibits constancy in its pressure. Thus, at equilibrium, Rate of evaporation = Rate of condensation It may be noted that equilibrium cannot be attained if the process is carried out in an open vessel. Because in the open vessel, the reverse process, i.e., condensation o..

Heavy water is colourless, tasteless and odourless liquid. It has all higher values for physical constants than the corresponding values of ordinary water..

i) Physical state - Isocyanides are colorless liquids with intolerable smel..

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 pungent and more fragrant...
