AP09 Intermolecular Forces

Weak intermolecular forces of carbon dioxide will allow its molecules to form a crystal lattice when the temperature is 197 K at 1 atm.

"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax-- Of cabbages--and kings-- And why the sea is boiling hot-- And whether pigs have wings."
In this chapter, you will learn that the sea can be boiling hot if the atmospheric pressure is low enough.

Evaporation of water, an endothermic reaction, will lower the temperature to freeze water, an exothermic reaction If the atmospheric pressure were low enough, the sea would be hot enough to boil and freeze at the same time. |

This flash point demonstration done properly uses 2-propanol in a 5 gallon bottle. The alcohol is allowed to reach its equilibrium vapor pressure, and then is ignited in a carefully designed demonstration. The unnamed teacher in the second demonstration did not fare as well. But at least it wasn't a fuel-oil tank. |
