Tested Vapor Pressure, Viscosity, And Surface Tensions

The experiment tested vapor pressure, viscosity, and surface tension. The vapor pressure was tested by putting a drop of the liquid on the laminated paper and waiting 30 second to see which one had reverberated. The viscosity was tested by putting a drops of different liquids on the laminated paper and holding the paper vertically to see which one fell the fastest. The surface tension was tested by how far the liquid spread when a drop of it was put on the laminated paper. The propanol had a high vapor pressure, a low viscosity, and a low surface tension. The high vapor pressure meant that when it was left it to evaporate it evaporated completely or the fastest. The low viscosity was seen when we raced the liquids and the propanol finished first. Lastly, the low surface tension was found when it spread the farthest. The reason for all of this is because proponal has a weak intermolecular force allowing the molecules to spread faster.

The low vapor pressure is because it is was not completely evaporated like the propanal. The low viscosity is because it finished second behind the propanal when it slid down the paper. Lastly, the surface tension was low because it spread farther than the glycerin but not as far as the propanol. The intermolecular forces in water are stronger than propanol but still relatively weak. The glycerin had a low vapor pressure, a high viscosity, and a high surface tension. The high vapor pressure was found when it did not a evaporate at all. The low viscosity was shown since it was the slowest moving one by far. The surface tension was the highest because it did not spread the slightest bit. Glycerin has a strong intermolecular force because it has a low vapor pressure, a high viscosity, and a high surface
