INTRODUCTION The objective in this experiment is to better understand why liquids evaporate at different rates. In doing so, investigation of the factors that determine the intensity of the intermolecular forces by the rate of evaporation must be obtained in the following seven liquids: methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, water, pentane, and acetone. Intermolecular forces are forces that exist between molecules whereas intramolecular forces are the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule. Each of the seven liquids consists of intermolecular force energy; hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole bonding, or london dispersion bonding. The type of intermolecular forces in a molecule is a result of bond polarity, which is determined by the electronegativity differences, and molecular shape, that is determined by an electron-dot structure. A hydrogen bond is a bond that consists of an attraction force between a hydrogen and an electronegative atom of …show more content…
After performing the investigation, it was concluded that each of the seven liquids will have different evaporation rates based upon strength and type of their intermolecular force. This is supported by (Figure 1.), in which Distilled Water contained the slowest rate of evaporation at 0.00686 degrees Celsius per second, therefore having the strongest intermolecular force because of its hydrogen bond. Pentane had the fastest rate of evaporation, as shown in (Figure 1.), at 0.349 degrees Celsius per second because it consisted of the weakest intermolecular force, a london dispersion bond. This evidence was not only supported through the experiment in which my group performed, but it was also supported by claims made by other groups who performed the same experiment. Overall, the molecular shape and the intermolecular bond type affects the rate of evaporation in liquids, causing each liquid to evaporate at its own specific
Our hypothesis was partially correct, the property changing substances did have the weakest coherency with the lowest drop counts of 23(carbonated), and 14(soap), and pure water did have the strongest bond. What we also found was the the salt also dampened the liquid’s ability to hold onto a penny in large volumes, as all the different salts had a drop average of 24(28x2 & 16), five less than Tap water’s drop count (30). This led us to conclude that pure water has the strongest bond and that all foreign materials weaken the coherency of water. This evidence has led me to believe that similar substances are attracted and are more coherent towards themselves, in this case the water pieces get separated and generally less connected on a really small level due to the obstruction of foreign objects, this is why the different salts perform better than the huge air bubbles or the slippery properties of soap since the latter is more obstructive and the former dissolves with the water and blocks less. When studying a few other groups’ conclusions and data we did indeed find differences: some groups had differing data where a solution had better coherence than water itself which led to differing conclusions.
Covalent bonding - Covalent bonding is when two atoms share electrons this can only occur between two non-metals. They share electrons to fill up their outer shells, this makes the atoms stable. A Covalent bond can form up to one to three Covalent bonds with non-metals depending on how much electrons they possess. They don't always share electrons
Firstly, intermolecular forces and strengths of different chemical substances could be identified using valence shell electron pair repulsion shapes and prior knowledge of various kinds of intermolecular forces: London Dispersion, Dipole-Dipole, and Hydrogen bonding. Knowing this, Acetone was seen to possess London Dispersion and Dipole-Dipole forces. Propanol was seen to possess London Dispersion, Dip0le-Dipole forces, and Hydrogen Bonding. Acetic Acid was seen to possess Hydrogen Bonding and Dipole-Dipole forces. Overall,
The constant variable is the amount of sodium hydroxide. Literature review A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are shared pairs and bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attraction and a repulsive force between atoms, when they share electrons is called covalent bonding.
In this lab, the water molecules stick strongly together and
(2005) states that all molecules have different boiling points, this is due to the intermolecular forces between the atoms. Therefore, the more intense the intermolecular force is the higher the boiling point, and the lower intensity, the lower the boiling point. This paper aims to discusses the order of the boiling points of 3-methyl-1-butanol and 3-methylbutanal, 1-Hexanol and 1-Pentanol, examining the differences between them. (De Marco et al. 2014).

Introduction The intent of this experiment is to understand how hot and cold water interact with each other by combining clear hot water and black ice cold water. I hope to learn more about how hot and cold water interact with each other. As of now, I know that cold water is denser than hot water. Knowing this I formed my hypothesis.
As the sun heats up the Earth, the water in the ocean, surface waters, and waters held by plants evaporates and turn into water vapor - very small particles that mix with the air. This process is called evaporation. During evaporation, the ocean is the biggest contributor of water vapor since it is the largest body of water. In the case of plants, water absorbed by the roots and distributed to the different parts also evaporates through the leaves in the process called evapotranspiration. This is why plants shed their leaves during very hot season to prevent water from escaping.

In the “Drops of Water on a Penny” lab, I used the pipette to place 30 drops of regular water on the penny. As I was placing the drops of water on the penny, the water began to form a bubble on the penny, sticking together tightly so that it had risen above the penny. This occurred because of the high surface tension water has due to its hydrogen bonding. On the other penny with the soapy water, I was only able to place 24. Soap is a surfactant to water by interfering the hydrogen bonding and decreasing the surface tension so that the water does not stick to each as well as would have.
Investigation of the effect of NaCl concentration on the evaporation rate of water. Chemistry HL Internal Assessment Vitaebella Tsang Ao Ling Contents page Contents page 2 Introduction 3 Design 4 Research question 4 Variables 4 Method 5 Results 6 Discussion 9 Evaluation 9 Bibliography 10 Introduction Many recipes call for salt to be added to the water when cooking pasta to add flavor, but there has been common belief or misunderstanding that adding salt will make the water boil faster. However, it is now known that that is not the fact, and that adding salt will do the opposite and make the water boil more slowly instead.
The specific purpose of this experiment is to determine the composition of vapor and liquid phases for different mixtures of a pair of volatile liquids using refractive values and distillation techniques involving the construction of two different types of phase diagrams. Moreover, these different phase diagram might be analyzed and compared individually in order to have a better understanding about the multiple types of phase equilibrium and phase change that occurs. For the procedure, the two components are benzoic acid and o-toluic acid. The first step of this experiment is to accomplish the part A: run samples A1 to A5 and B1 to B5. For this step, place a beaker of silicon oil on top of a hot plate until the temperature reaches 135 +/-
Properties of Substances Express Lab 1)The purpose of this lab was to compare the physical properties of different types of solids and how the properties of solids are determined by their intermolecular forces and their intramolecular bonds. Then we were to classify each type of solid as either ionic, metallic, non-polar molecular, polar molecular, or network. Paraffin wax classified as a non-polar molecular, Silicon dioxide was classifies as a network, Sodium chloride was classified as ionic, Sucrose was classified as polar molecular and Tin was classified as metallic. (2)The intermolecular forces that are present in Paraffin wax are dispersion forces, because it is non-polar and carries a negative charge. Followed by Sucrose that has
Properties of Ionic and Covalent Substances Lab Report Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine which of the following substances: wax, sugar, and salt, are an ionic compound and which are a covalent compound. In order to accurately digest the experiments results, definitions of each relating factor were researched, leading to the following information: ionic compounds are positive and negatively charged ions that experience attraction to each other and pull together in a cluster of ionic bonds; they are the strongest compound, are separated in high temperatures, and can be separated by polar water molecules. A covalent compound is formed when two or more nonmetal atoms share valence electrons; covalent compounds are also categorized into two sections: polar covalent and nonpolar covalent. Furthermore, polar covalent compounds dissolve in water, while nonpolar covalent compounds do not.
In relation to a previous experiment in which the students determined the boiling points of two liquids, it was deduced that the boiling point of [propyl and methyl] alcohol was estimated to be around 80oC. According to numerous sources, ethanol boils (and consequently evaporates) at around 78.5oC[7] a much lower temperature compared to the alcoholic beverage’s other ingredients—water, for example, boils at precisely 100oC. It is immensely possible that because of this, ethanol is isolated from the beverage sooner than said beverage’s other components. Perhaps, if the students worked within
