STATES OF MATTER

Water can exist as ice, which is a solid; it can exist as liquid; or it can exist in the gaseous state as water vapour or steam Chemical properties of a substance do not change with the change of its physical state; nature of intermolecular forces, molecular interactions and effect of thermal energy on the motion of particles because a balance between these determines the state of a substance.

Threestatesis depictedas follows:

INTERMOLECULARFORCES Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction and repulsion between interacting particles (atoms and molecules

Dispersion Forces or London Forces-- Atoms and non polar molecules are electrically symmetrical and have no dipole moment because their electronic charge cloud is symmetrically distributed. But a dipole may develop momentarily in such atoms and molecules. The intermolecular forces of attraction in between two temporary dipoles non polar substances is nown as London force or dispersion force.

These forces are always attracti e and interaction ener!y is in ersely proportional to the si"th power of the distance between two interactin! particles !i.e., #/r$ where r is the distance between two particles". #hese forces wor at short distances !$%&& pm" and their magnitude depends on the polarisability of the particle.

Dipole% Dipole Forces


'ipole(dipole interactions occur between molecules that have permanent net dipoles between )Cl* molecules, +Cl, molecules, C-,Cl molecules and -Cl molecules. #he dipole ( dipole interactions are stronger than the .ondon forces. #he dipole(dipole interaction energy between stationary molecules is proportional to /0r, and for rotating molecules is proportional to /0r1, where r is the distance between the polar molecules.

Dipole % &nduced dipole


A dipole(induced dipole attraction is a wea attraction that results when a polar molecule induces a dipole in an atom or in a non polar molecule by disturbing the arrangement of electrons in the non(polar species. #he interaction energy is proportional to /0r1 where r is the distance between two molecules.

2n a molecule, whenever the hydrogen atom is directly lin ed to a highly electronegative atom !li e 3, 4 or 5", the shared pair of electron is pulled more towards this atom and it acquires a slight negative charge !d6" and the hydrogen atom acquires a slight positive !d(" charge. #here occurs a wea bond formation between the negative end of one molecule and the positive end of the other. #his bond is nown as a hydrogen bond, which is represented by dotted lines. 2t involves dipole(dipole interactions.

THEGASLAWS

E"periments of (oyle) in a *uantitati e manner pro e that !ases are hi!hly compressible because when a !i en mass of a !as is compressed) the same number of molecules occupy a smaller space+ This means that !ases become denser at hi!h pressure+ A relationship can be obtained between density and pressure of a !as by usin! (oyle,s law By definition, density 7d8 is related to the mass 7m8 and the volume 7V8 by the relation d9m0v. 2f we put value of V in this equation from Boyle8s law equation, we obtain the relationship.

#his shows that at a constant temperature, pressure is directly proportional to the density of a fixed mass of the gas.

Problem5.1 A balloon is filled with hydrogen at room temperature. It will burst if pressure exceeds 0.2 bar. If at 1 bar pressure the gas occupies 2.27 L volume, upto what volume can the balloon be expanded ? Solution According to Boyles Law p1V1 =p2V2 if p is 1 bar, V will be 2.27L

if p = 0.2 bar, then V =p V /P

:V =1 bar2.27L/0.2bar=11.35L Since balloon bursts at 0.2 bar pressure,the volume of balloon should be less than 11.35 L.

Each line of the volume vs temperature graph is called isobar.

All gases obey Charles8 law at very low pressures and high temperatures.

Problem5.2 On a ship sailing in pacific ocean where temperature is 23.4 C , a balloon is filled with 2 L air. What will be the volume of the balloon when the ship reaches Indian ocean, where temperature is 26.1C ? Solution V = 2L From Charles law T = (23.4 + 273)K = 296.4 K V /T =V /T T = 26.1 + 273 = 299.1 K :V =(V T )/T :V =2L 299.1K / 296.4K =2L 1.009 =2.018L

Ideal gas equation is a relation between four variables and it describes the state of any gas, therefore, it is also called equation of state. Let us now go back to the ideal gas equation. This is the relationship for the simultaneous variation of the variables. If temperature, volume and pressure of a fixed amount of gas vary from T , V and p to T , V and p then we can write
