    This experiment aims to determine the parachor value of a liquid with a molecular weight of 78. The procedure involves using a stalagmometer to measure the drop counts of water and the liquid to calculate surface tension. Density is found using a specific gravity bottle. The parachor is then calculated using the molar mass, density and surface tension.

    Experiment-2

    Aim: Determine the parachor value of a given liquid. The molecular weight of the liquid is 78.

    Requirements:

    Stalagmometer, specific gravity bottle, rubber tube, screw type pinch cock, beakers etc.

    Theory:

    It has been shown by Sudgen (1924) that if molar volume (M/D) is multiplied by the fourth root
    of the surface tension, it leads to a constant which is known as parachor.

    M
    Parachor [ P ] = ¿
    D

    Where M is the molar mass and D is the density of the liquid. Thus, parachor may be defined as
    the molar volume of a liquid when the surface tension of that liquid is unity. It is both an additive
    and constitutive property.

    Procedure:

    Take a stalagmometer, wash it with ether and dry and then fill it with distilled
    water up to the upper mark A by sucking through rubber tube. Release the
    liquid at a very slow rate and count the number of drops of water from the
    upper mark A to the lower mark B. Also count the no. of drops of given
    liquids in a similar way. Repeat this experiment for three times.
    Take a specific gravity bottle, fill it with distilled water and weigh it.
    Then fill it with liquid and weigh it. Calculate the weight of distilled water
    and liquid by subtracting the weight of empty bottle from the total weights of
    bottle filled with water and filled with liquid. Calculate the density of liquid
    as follows:

    weight of liquid
    Density of liquid = ×density of water
    weight of water

    Note the density of water at the temperature of room from literature table. Then calculate the
    surface tension by using the formula. Using this value of surface tension, we can calculate the
    parachor value of the given liquid.

    Precautions:

    1. To clean stalagmometer, wash it in the following order: chromic acid ⟶ tap water ⟶ distilled
    water ⟶ alcohol ⟶ ether.
    2. Adjust the flow of liquid with the help of rubber tube and screw cock. Adjustment should
    remain the same for all liquids.
    3. Adjust the flow of liquid such that number of drops can be calculated.
    Observation:
    Surface tension of water at _____℃ = _____ dyne/cm

    No. of the drops


    Sample Surface Tension
    1 2 3 Mean

    Water

    Liquid

    Calculation:

    Weight of empty specific gravity bottle = ____ g (w1)


    Weight of empty specific gravity bottle + distilled water = ____ g (w2)
    Weight of empty specific gravity bottle + liquid = ____ g (w3)

    Hence, Weight of water = (w2) – (w1) = ____ g


    Weight of liquid = (w3) – (w1) = ____ g

    Density of water at ____ °C = ____ g/ml

    weight of liquid
    Density of liquid = ×density of wate r
    weight of water

    Therefore,

    And
    M
    Parachor [ P ] = ¿
    D

    Conclusion:

    Parachor value of given liquid = ______
