In a liquid
• molecules are in
constant motion
• there are appreciable
intermolecular forces
• molecules are close
together
• Liquids are almost
incompressible
• Liquids do not fill the
container

5. Gas
H2O(g) Steam

6. Liquids
The two key properties we need to describe are
EVAPORATION and its opposite CONDENSATION
add energy and break intermolecular bonds
EVAPORATION
release energy and form intermolecular bonds
CONDENSATION

11. • To evaporate, molecules must have
sufficient energy to break IM forces.
• Molecules at the surface break away
and become gas.
• Only those with enough KE escape.
• Breaking IM forces requires energy. The
process of evaporation is endothermic.
• Evaporation is a cooling process.
• It requires heat.
Evaporation

12. Change from gas to liquid
Achieves a dynamic equilibrium with
vaporization in a closed system.
What is a closed system?
A closed system means
matter can’t go in or out.
(put a cork in it)
What the heck is a
“dynamic equilibrium?”
Condensation

13. When first sealed, the molecules
gradually escape the surface of the
liquid.
As the molecules build up above the
liquid - some condense back to a
liquid.
The rate at which the molecules
evaporate and condense are equal.
Dynamic Equilibrium

14. As time goes by the rate of vaporization
remains constant but the rate of
condensation increases because there
are more molecules to condense.
Equilibrium is reached when:
Rate of Vaporization = Rate of Condensation
Molecules are constantly changing phase “dynamic”
The total amount of liquid and vapor remains constant
“equilibrium”
Dynamic Equilibrium

15. • Vaporization is an endothermic process - it
requires heat.
• Energy is required to overcome intermolecular
forces
• Responsible for cool earth
• Why we sweat
