Experiments
Here are experiments our science specialists have selected to support the IB* topic.
Evaporation and Intermolecular Attractions
Experiment #9 from Chemistry with Vernier
In this experiment, you will
- Study temperature changes caused by the evaporation of several liquids.
- Relate the temperature changes to the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction.
Evaporation and Intermolecular Attractions
Experiment #8 from Investigating Chemistry through Inquiry
In the Preliminary Activity, you will gain experience using a Temperature Probe while you determine the temperature change as ethanol, C2H5OH, evaporates.
After completing the Preliminary Activity, you will first use reference sources to find out more about alkanes and alcohols before you choose and investigate a researchable question dealing with temperature changes as alkanes and alcohols evaporate.
