Best Answer

In the gas phase, benzene molecules act independently. Benzene molecules in the liquid phase are closer together than in the gas phase. They interact with each other and alter the molar absorptivity values. This causes the sharp peaks of the gas phase spectrum to broaden. Collisional broadening is also a factor in the liquid phase as well.

What is the significance of the stationary phase in gas chromatography?

The stationary phase is the medium that is used to react with the mobile phase. The molbile phase is sent through the column. The stationary phase is inside the column and reacts with your carrier liquid (mobile phase) which contains the sample that you want to be analyzed. Stationary phase is different for every column because you need different mediums for different tests.


Why does the thermal conductivity of benzene decrease with increasing intemperature?

In the gas phase molecules transfer momentum and energy as they collide with each other. In liquid phase molecules are close together and cannot move as freely as in the gas phase. Intermolecular attractive forces result in low values of liquid diffusion coefficients. This theorey is unsuccessful in deriving explicit expressions for thermal conducitivity and approximations must be used for engineering calculations.

What phase is liquid water?

Water can exist in three phases which are solid, liquid, and gas. So liquid water is water in the liquid phase.
