What are the properties of solids?(4)
Fixed shape and volume
Vibrate in fixed position
Packed closely together
High density
What are the properties of liquids?(3)
Fixed volume but takes up shape of container
Medium density
Particles move and slide past each other
What are the properties of gases?(5)
No fixed volume nor fixed shape
Low density
Can be compressed into smaller volume
Particles are far apart, move randomly and quickly
Particles collide with each other and container sides to form pressure
What’s the arrangement of each state of matter?
Solid-regularly arranged
Liquid-randomly arranged
Gas-randomly arranged
Solid to liquid?
Liquid to solid?
Melting-when heated, particles absorb energy and vibrate, solid expands, bonds break, change to liquid
Freezing-when particles lose energy in low temp, bonds reform
Liquid to gas?
Gas to liquid?
Evaporation/boiling-when liquid is heated, it expands, intermolecular forces break, particles gain energy to evaporate
Condensation-energy of particles is transferred to surroundings, particles lose energy, intermolecular forces reform
What is the effect of temperature on volume of gas?
Higher temperature increases kinetic energy of particles, they move faster and collide more frequently with walls, flexible walls get bigger
What is the effect of pressure on volume of gas?
When pressure increases, volume decreases and amt of particles remain constant, particles collide more often in small volume
What is diffusion?(5)
Occurs in gases and liquids
Particles move from area of high concentration to area of low concentration
Particles are evenly spread in the available space
Happens faster at higher temp due to higher kinetic energy
Faster in gases than liquid bc particles r faster
What is the effect of relative molecular mass on the rate of diffusion of gases?
Lower mass gases are light, travel faster and further in same amt of time
Higher mass gases are heavier, travel slower and less far in same amt of time
Example of diffusion in terms of molecular mass
Ammonia has lower Mr=17
Hydrogen chloride has higher Mr=36.5
So ammonia travels faster and further than hydrogen chloride
