What would happen to each of the properties if the intermolecular forces between molecules increased for a given fluid? assume temperature remains constant.

If we assume that the temperature remains constant. And if the intermolecular forces are increased, then there would be an increase in the boiling point, the viscosity, and surface tension of the substance.

Explanation:

The intermolecular forces are interactions between particles. And decrease as we go from solid >liquid >gas. And on gases we have weak intermolecular forces.

The most common 3 types of intermolecular forces occurs between neutral molecules are known as Van der Walls forces (Dipole-Dipole,Hydrogen bonding, London Dispersion forces).

If the intermodelucar attraction forces increases we have:

1. Decreasing vapor pressure (pressure of the vapor that is in equilibrium with the liquid)

2. Increasing boiling point (temperature at which the vapor pressure is equal to the pressur exerted on the surface of the liquid)

3. Increasing surface tension (resistance of a liquid to spread out and increase the surface area)

4. Increasing viscosity (resistance of a liquid to flow)

If we assume that the temperature remains constant. And if the intermolecular forces are increased, then there would be an increase in the boiling point, the viscosity, and surface tension of the substance.
