The properties of two pure liquids, X and Y, are investigated. First, 50 uL each of X and Y were added on a glass slide. It was observed that X formed globules while Y spreaded throughout the slide. Furthermore, an instrument-based analysis showed that liquids X and Y have comparable molar masses. Based from the information above, which of these two: 1. Has a higher surface tension at a fixed temperature? 2. Is more likely to have hydrogen bonding interactions among its molecules? 3. Is more useful as a drying agent?

If your air conditioner is more than several years old, it may use the chlorofluorocarbon CCl2F2 as the heat transfer fluid. The normal boiling point of CCl2F2 is 29.8 C, and the enthalpy of vaporization is 20.11 kJ/mol. The gas and the liquid have molar heat capacities of 117.2 J/mol K and 72.3 J/mol K, respectively. How much energy is evolved as heat when 20.0 g of CCl2F2 is cooled from +40 C to 40 C?
Classify each of the following statements as true or false. a Intermolecular attractions are stronger in liquids than in gases. b Substances with weak intermolecular attractions generally have low vapor pressures. c Liquids with high molar heats of vaporization usually are more viscous than liquids with low molar heats of vaporization. d A substance with a relatively high surface tension usually has a very low boiling point. e All other things being equal, hydrogen bonds are weaker than induced dipole or dipole forces. f Induced dipole forces become very strong between large molecules. g Other things being equal, nonpolar molecules have stronger intermolecular attractions than polar molecules. h The essential feature of a dynamic equilibrium is that the rates of opposing changes are equal. i Equilibrium vapor pressure depends on the concentration of a vapor above its own liquid. j The heat of vaporization is equal to the heat of fusion, but with opposite sign. k The boiling point of a liquid is a fixed property of the liquid. l If you break shatter an amorphous solid, it will break in straight lines, but if you break a crystalline solid, it will break in curved lines. m Ionic crystals are seldom soluble in water. n Molecular crystals are nearly always soluble in water. o The numerical value of heat of vaporization is always larger than the numerical value of heat of condensation. p The units of heat of fusion are kJ/gC. q The temperature of water drops while it is freezing. r Specific heat is conerned with a change in temperature.
