💠Properties of Solids and Liquids - Revision Notes on Liquids at Rest:💠

⛔️Force of cohesion:- It is force between two molecules of similar nature.

⛔️Force of adhesion:- It is the force between two molecules of different nature.

⛔️Molecular range:- The maximum distance between two molecules so that the force of attraction between them remains effective is called molecular range.

⛔️Sphere of influence:- Sphere of influence of any molecule is the sphere with molecule as its center and having a radius equal to molecular range (=10-7 cm).

⛔️Surface film:- Surface film of a liquid is defined as the portion of liquid lying on the surface and caught between two parallel planes situated molecular range apart.

⛔️Surface Tension

Surface tension is the property of a liquid by virtue of which its free surface behaves like a stretched membrane and supports, comparatively heavier objects placed over it. It is measured in terms of force of surface tension.

⛔️Force of surface tension:- It is defined as the amount of force acting per unit length on either side of an imaginary line drawn over the liquid surface.

(a) T = Force/length = F/l

(b) T = Surface energy/Surface area = W/A

Units:- S.I – Nm-1

C.G.S- dyn cm-1

⛔️Additional force:-

(a) For a cylindrical rod:- F = T×2πr  (Here r is the radius of cylindrical rod)

(b) For a rectangular block:- F = T×2(l+d) (Here l is the length and d is the thickness of the rectangular block)

(c) For a ring:- F = T×2×2πr  (Here r is the radius of cylindrical rod)

⛔️Surface energy:-

Potential energy per unit area of the surface is called surface energy.

(a) Expansion under isothermal condition:-

To do work against forces of surface tension:-

W= T×A    (Here A is the total increase in surface area)

To supply energy for maintaining the temperature of the film:-

E = T+H

(b) Expansion under adiabatic conditions:-

E = T

Force of surface tension is numerically equal to the surface energy under adiabatic conditions.

⛔️Drops and Bubbles:-

(a) Drop:- Area of surface film of a spherical drop of radius R is given by, A = 4πR2

(b) Bubble:- The surface area of the surface films of a bubble of radius R is, A = 2×4πR2

⛔️Combination of n drops into one big drop:-

(a) R = n1/3r

(b) Ei = n (4πr2T), Ef =4πR2T

(c) Ef/ Ei = n -1/3

(d) ΔE/Ei = [1-(1/n1/3)]

(e) ΔE = 4πR2T (n1/3-1) = 4πR3T (1/r – 1/R)

⛔️Angle of contact:- Angle of contact,  for a pair of solid and liquid, is defined as the angle between tangent to the liquid surface drawn at the point of contact and the solid surface inside the liquid.

(a) When θ < 90º (acute):-

Fa >Fc/√2

(i) Force of cohesion between two molecules of liquid is less than the force of adhesion between molecules of solid and liquid.

(ii) Liquid molecules will stick with the solid, thus making solid wet.

(iii) Such liquid is put in the solid tube; it will have meniscus concave upwards.

(b) When θ > 90º (obtuse):-Fa<Fc/√2

(i) Force of cohesion between two molecules of liquid is less than the force of adhesion between molecules of solid and liquid.

(ii) In this case, liquids do not wet the solids.

(iii) Such liquids when put in the solid tube will have a meniscus convex upwards.

(c) When θ  = 90º:-?

Fa=Fc/√2

The surface of liquid at the point of contact is plane. In this case force of cohesion and adhesion are comparable to each other.

(d) cosθc = Tsa – Tsl/Tla

Here, Tsa,Tsl and Tla represent solid-air, solid-liquid and liquid-air surface tension respectively). Here θc is acute if Tsl < Tsa while θc is obtuse if Tsl >Tsa.

⛔️Capillarity:-

?Rise of Liquid in a Capillary Tube?Capillarity is the phenomenon, by virtue of which the level of liquid in a capillary tube is different from that outside it, is called capillarity.

Weight of liquid, W = Vρg = πr2[h+(r/3)]ρg    (Here r is the radius meniscus)

If weight of meniscus is taken into account, the force of surface tension will be,

T = [r(h+(r/3)) ρg]/2 cosθ

For fine capillary, force of surface tension, T = rhρg/2 cosθ

So height, h = 2T cosθ/ rρg
