Properties of Water 5.5B Water Is Found in Many Places on Earth Properties of Water 5.5B Water is found in many places on Earth. In fact, about 70% of Earth is covered in water. Think about places where you have seen water. Oceans, lakes, and rivers hold much of Earth’s water. Some water is trapped in glaciers and icebergs. Even the air holds water! If you have ever been outside on a foggy day, you have seen water in the air. Fog is an example of water that forms from a gas called water vapor. Even on clear, sunny days, there is water vapor in the air. Water is found in different physical forms, or states, and it can change between these states. Water can change from a solid to a liquid. It can change from a liquid to a gas. Water can even change from a gas to a liquid. But how, exactly, does water change States: classifications between its different states? of matter as a solid, liquid or gas. What are some properties of water? Can these properties change? How? Pure water is an amazing substance. It can exist naturally as a solid, liquid, or gas. When enough heat is added to or taken away from water, it will change its physical state. For example, water sometimes collects in puddles during a rainstorm. With enough heat from the Sun, the water will eventually change from a liquid (in the puddle) to a gas (water vapor in the air). This is an example of evaporation. Then the gas, or water vapor, can change again. If it cools enough in the air, water vapor will change into a liquid and fall back to Earth as rain. Changing from a gas to a liquid is called condensation. When a substance warms up, it gains heat. But what happens when a substance cools? A cooling substance loses heat—it does not gain cold. Think about an ice cube tray. You can fill it with water and put it in the freezer to make ice. As the water changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses heat. Look at the photographs below. The picture on the left shows water changing from a liquid to a gas. The picture on the right shows water that has changed from a liquid to a solid. What caused the physical state of each water sample to change? © 2013 Rice University – All Rights Reserved 1 Properties of Water 5.5B Discover Science: Water on Mars? Is there water on other planets? As far as we know, Earth is the only planet in our solar system containing liquid water. But scientists wondered for many years whether other planets had moving water at one time. Recently, they found exciting evidence to suggest water once flowed on Mars. When water flows over rocks for a long time, the rocks break down and become smooth. On Mars, some rocks look like they were smoothed by water long ago. Scientists are not sure what happened to the water. But, because matter cannot disappear, the water most likely evaporated or froze. (Large ice caps are visible at each pole on Mars.) Scientists also think water may be This image compares rocks found on Mars (left) buried beneath the planet’s surface. with rocks on Earth (right). Both sets of rocks look like they were smoothed by flowing water. Which tool can we use to measure different temperatures? Temperature: a Losing or gaining heat causes the temperature of a substance to measure of th average energy of motion in change. If water loses heat, the water’s temperature decreases. the particles of a Similarly, if water gains heat, the water’s temperature increases. substance. Temperature is measured in units called degrees. The most Fahrenheit: common tool for measuring temperature is a thermometer. temperature scale Sometimes temperature is measured on the Fahrenheit scale. commonly used in the United States. When you hear a weather report, you might hear the temperature will be 65 degrees Fahrenheit, or 65F. However, scientists use the Celsius scale to measure and record the Celsius: temperature temperatures of different substances. A temperature of 65F scale used by scientists. On this equals about 18 degrees on the Celsius scale (18C). scale, water freezes at 0 and boils at 100. Take a little time to explore how to measure temperature on the Celsius scale. Remember that many thermometers are made with glass, so handle yours carefully. 1. To complete this activity, you will need the following materials: Celsius thermometer A container of room temperature water, about one cup Four or five ice cubes A spoon © 2013 Rice University – All Rights Reserved 2 Properties of Water 5.5B 2. Place the thermometer in the container of water. Wait for about 1 minute. 3. With the thermometer in the water, note where the liquid on the thermometer stops along the number line. This is the water temperature. Record it in degrees Celsius, or C. 4. Take the thermometer out of the water. Add the ice cubes and stir with the spoon. 5. Repeat Steps 2 and 3. 6. Think about how the temperature would change if you added heat. Would it increase or decrease? At what temperatures on the Celsius scale will water freeze or boil? At what temperature will ice melt? Like other substances, water needs to reach a certain temperature in order for its physical state to change. The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas is called its boiling point. The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid is called its freezing point. As you might have guessed, the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid is called its melting point. All substances have specific boiling, melting, and freezing points. For example, the boiling point of pure water is 100C. You can place water in a pot and heat it on the stove. Once the water temperature reaches 100C, it will begin to boil. This boiling point does not change whether you have a large pot of water or a small droplet of water. Boiling, melting, and freezing points are constant, meaning they do not change unless the substance itself is changed. If you add salt to water, you are changing pure water into a different substance. This new substance will have a different boiling point. Melting and freezing are reverse processes. Because of this, the melting point and freezing point of water are the same. They are both 0C! © 2013 Rice University – All Rights Reserved 3 Properties of Water 5.5B What Do You Know? Water has constant boiling, melting, and freezing points that cause its physical state to change. Color each thermometer in the chart below to show how the water’s temperature changes in each example. Then, read the descriptions of changes in physical state. Decide which change matches each example. Write your answers in the final row of the chart. For each example, color the thermometer on the left to show the water’s starting temperature. Color the thermometer on the right to show the water’s ending temperature.

You will need the following materials to get started: Eight cups of water set to room temperature Measuring cup Hot plate or access to stove burner Small pot Timer or stopwatch Heat-resistant Celsius thermometer that measures at least 120C (optional) Remind students to use extreme caution when using the hot plate or stove burner. In order to bring the water to room temperature, let it sit in a room for about an hour before the experiment. Set up the experiment by adding two cups of room temperature water to the pot. If possible, have students measure and record the water’s temperature. Next, carefully place the pot on the hot plate or stove and start the timer. As soon as the water begins to boil, record the elapsed time. If possible, have students carefully measure and record the water’s temperature. (Measurements should confirm that water boils at 100°C.) Turn off the burner and pour out the water. Rinse the pot with cold water and drain. Now, add one cup of water to the pot. Repeat the experiment by measuring the temperature of the water, placing the pot on the burner (be sure to use the same setting on the burner), and recording the amount of time it takes for the water to boil. Repeat these steps for the following quantities of water: one-half cup and four cups. Compare the results from each trial. If time allows, try a similar experiment with salt water. Simply add a quarter-cup of salt to a cup of water and stir until the salt is dissolved. Record the amount of time it takes the salt water to boil, and compare this to the pure water results. Here are some questions to discuss with students: Did the amount of water affect the amount of time it took for the water to boil? Did the amount of water affect the boiling point? If you were not able to obtain boiling point measurements, think about what you observed during the experiment.

Accepted: April 17, 2011. An equation of state (EOS) is presented for the thermodynamic properties of benzene that is valid from the triple point temperature (278.674 K) to 725 K with pressures up to 500 MPa. The equation is expressed in terms of the Helmholtz energy as a function of temperature and density. This for- mulation can be used for the calculation of all thermodynamic properties. Comparisons to experimental data are given to establish the accuracy of the EOS. The approximate uncertainties (k = 2) of properties calculated with the new equation are 0.1% below T = 350 K and 0.2% above T = 350 K for vapor pressure and liquid density, 1% for saturated vapor density, 0.1% for density up to T = 350 K and p = 100 MPa, 0.1 – 0.5% in density above T = 350 K, 1% for the isobaric and saturated heat capaci- ties, and 0.5% in speed of sound. Deviations in the critical region are higher for all properties except vapor pressure.

  • The Basics of Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium (Or Why the Tripoli L2 Tech Question #30 Is Wrong)
    The Basics of Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium (Or why the Tripoli L2 tech question #30 is wrong) A question on the Tripoli L2 exam has the wrong answer? Yes, it does. What is this errant question? 30.Above what temperature does pressurized nitrous oxide change to a gas? a. 97°F b. 75°F c. 37°F The correct answer is: d. all of the above. The answer that is considered correct, however, is: a. 97ºF. This is the critical temperature above which N2O is neither a gas nor a liquid; it is a supercritical fluid. To understand what this means and why the correct answer is “all of the above” you have to know a little about the behavior of liquids and gases. Most people know that water boils at 212ºF. Most people also know that when you’re, for instance, boiling an egg in the mountains, you have to boil it longer to fully cook it. The reason for this has to do with the vapor pressure of water. Every liquid wants to vaporize to some extent. The measure of this tendency is known as the vapor pressure and varies as a function of temperature. When the vapor pressure of a liquid reaches the pressure above it, it boils. Until then, it evaporates until the fraction of vapor in the mixture above it is equal to the ratio of the vapor pressure to the total pressure. At that point it is said to be in equilibrium and no further liquid will evaporate. The vapor pressure of water at 212ºF is 14.696 psi – the atmospheric pressure at sea level.

  • Liquid-Vapor Equilibrium in a Binary System
    Liquid-Vapor Equilibria in Binary Systems1 Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to study a binary liquid-vapor equilibrium of chloroform and acetone. Measurements of liquid and vapor compositions will be made by refractometry. The data will be treated according to equilibrium thermodynamic considerations, which are developed in the theory section. Theory Consider a liquid-gas equilibrium involving more than one species. By definition, an ideal solution is one in which the vapor pressure of a particular component is proportional to the mole fraction of that component in the liquid phase over the entire range of mole fractions. Note that no distinction is made between solute and solvent. The proportionality constant is the vapor pressure of the pure material. Empirically it has been found that in very dilute solutions the vapor pressure of solvent (major component) is proportional to the mole fraction X of the solvent. The proportionality constant is the vapor pressure, po, of the pure solvent. This rule is called Raoult's law: o (1) psolvent = p solvent Xsolvent for Xsolvent = 1 For a truly ideal solution, this law should apply over the entire range of compositions. However, as Xsolvent decreases, a point will generally be reached where the vapor pressure no longer follows the ideal relationship. Similarly, if we consider the solute in an ideal solution, then Eq.(1) should be valid. Experimentally, it is generally found that for dilute real solutions the following relationship is obeyed: psolute=K Xsolute for Xsolute<< 1 (2) where K is a constant but not equal to the vapor pressure of pure solute.

  • Pressure Vs Temperature (Boiling Point)
    Boiling Points and Vapor Pressure Background Boiling Points and Vapor Pressure Background: Definitions Vapor Pressure: The equilibrium pressure of a vapor above its liquid; the pressure of the vapor resulting from the evaporation of a liquid above a sample of the liquid in a closed container. Boiling Point: The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric (or applied) pressure. As the temperature of the liquid increases, the vapor pressure will increase, as seen below: https://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/vpress.html Vapor pressure is interpreted in terms of molecules of liquid converting to the gaseous phase and escaping into the empty space above the liquid. In order for the molecules to escape, the intermolecular forces (Van der Waals, dipole- dipole, and hydrogen bonding) have to be overcome, which requires energy. This energy can come in the form of heat, aka increase in temperature. Due to this relationship between vapor pressure and temperature, the boiling point of a liquid decreases as the atmospheric pressure decreases since there is more room above the liquid for molecules to escape into at lower pressure. The graph below illustrates this relationship using common solvents and some terpenes: Pressure vs Temperature (boiling point) Ethanol Heptane Isopropyl Alcohol B-myrcene 290.0 B-caryophyllene d-Limonene Linalool Pulegone 270.0 250.0 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) a-pinene a-terpineol terpineol-4-ol 230.0 p-cymene 210.0 190.0 170.0 150.0 130.0 110.0 90.0 Temperature (˚C) Temperature 70.0 50.0 30.0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 200 300 400 500 600 760 10.0 -10.0 -30.0 Pressure (torr) 1 Boiling Points and Vapor Pressure Background As a very general rule of thumb, the boiling point of many liquids will drop about 0.5˚C for a 10mmHg decrease in pressure when operating in the region of 760 mmHg (atmospheric pressure).

  • Chapter 10: Melting Point
    Chapter 10: Melting Point The melting point of a compound is the temperature or the range of temperature at which it melts. For an organic compound, the melting point is well defined and used both to identify and to assess the purity of a solid compound. 10.1 Compound Identification An organic compound’s melting point is one of several physical properties by which it is identified. A physical property is a property that is intrinsic to a compound when it is pure, such as its color, boiling point, density, refractive index, optical rotation, and spectra (IR, NMR, UV-VIS, and MS). A chemist must measure several physical properties of a compound to determine its identity. Since melting points are relatively easy and inexpensive to determine, they are handy identification tools to the organic chemist. The graph in Figure 10-1 illustrates the ideal melting behavior of a solid compound. At a temperature below the melting point, only solid is present. As heat is applied, the temperature of the solid initially rises and the intermolecular vibrations in the crystal increase. When the melting point is reached, additional heat input goes into separating molecules from the crystal rather than raising the temperature of the solid: the temperature remains constant with heat input at the melting point. When all of the solid has been changed to liquid, heat input raises the temperature of the liquid and molecular motion within the liquid increases. Figure 10-1: Melting behavior of solid compounds. Because the temperature of the solid remains constant with heat input at the transition between solid and liquid phases, the observer sees a sharp melting point.
