Viscosity and Vapor Pressure

The document discusses viscosity, defining it as a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, influenced by factors such as temperature, impurities, and shear rate. It also covers vapor pressure, explaining how vapor forms through vaporization and the factors affecting vapor pressure, primarily temperature and intermolecular forces. Real-life applications for both viscosity and vapor pressure include medical treatments, engine lubrication, and food production.

VISCOSITY
What is
Viscosity?
It is the measure of a fluid's
resistance to flow.
Liquids that flow easily have low
viscosity, while liquids that don't flow
easily have high viscosity
Cohesive and
adhesive forces
Cohesion or cohesive forces
• Attraction between similar
molecules
Example: Honey flowing slowly due to the cohesive
forces between its sugar molecules
Adhesion or adhesive forces
• The attractive forces between
different substances
Example: Water vs Slime pouring out of a glass container
Factors that determine

Vaporization

A process where a
fraction of the kinetic
energy of a liquid
escapes from
the surface to enter
the vapor phase.
