New cards

What makes up matter?

According to the kinetic theory of matter, matter is made of atoms and molecules. These atoms and molecules act like tiny particles that are always in motion.

2
New cards

What does the kinetic theory do?

Helps to explain the differences between the three common states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

3
New cards

What is the difference between a solid, a liquid, and a gas?

You can classify matter as a solid, a liquid, or a gas by determining whether the shape and volume are definite or variable.

4
New cards

Solids

Have a definite shape and volume.

5
New cards

Liquids

Change shape, not volume.

6
New cards

Gases

Change both shape and volume.

7
New cards

Fluid

A nonsolid state of matter in which the atoms or molecules are free to move past each other, as in a gas or liquid

8
New cards

What is plasma?

Is the most common state of matter.

9
New cards

Plasma

A state of matter that consists of free-moving ions and electrons

10
New cards

What kind of energy do all particles of matter have?

Because they are in motion, all particles of matter have kinetic energy.

11
New cards

Energy

The capacity to do work

12
New cards

Temperature

A measure of how hot (or cold) something is; specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object

13
New cards

Thermal energy

The total kinetic energy of a substance’s atoms

14
New cards

What is temperature?

A measure of average kinetic energy.

15
New cards

What does thermal energy depend on?

Depends on particle speed and number of particles.

16
New cards

What happens when a substance changes from one state of matter to another?

The identity of a substance does not change during a change of state, but the energy of a substance does change.

17
New cards

Evaporation

The change of state from a liquid to a gas

18
New cards

Sublimation

The process in which a solid changes directly into a gas

19
New cards

What do changes of state require?

Energy are melting, evaporation, and sublimation.

20
New cards

Condensation

The change of state from a gas to a liquid

21
New cards

What are changes of state that release energy?

Changes of state that release energy are freezing and condensation.

22
New cards

What happens to mass and energy during physical and chemical changes?

Mass and energy are both conserved. Neither mass nor energy can be created or destroyed.

23
New cards

Conservation of mass and energy

Energy may be changed to another form during a physical or chemical change, but the total amount of energy present before and after the change is the same.

24
New cards

Fluid

a nonsolid state of matter in which the atoms or molecules are free to move past each other, as in a gas or liquid.

25
New cards

Pressure

the amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface

26
New cards

How do fluids exert pressure?

Fluids exert pressure evenly in all directions.

example: when you pump up a bicycle tire, air particles constantly push against each other and against the tire wall

27
New cards

How can pressure be calculated?

By dividing force by the area over which the force is exerted:

28
New cards

What is the SI unit for pressure?

Pascal

29
New cards

Pressure and Bubbles

The shape of the bubble partly depends on an important property of fluids. Fluids exert pressure evenly in all directions. The air you blow into the bubble exerts pressure evenly in all directions. So, the bubble expands in all directions to create a sphere.

30
New cards

What force makes a rubber duck

float in a bathtub?

All fluids exert an upward buoyant force on matter.

31
New cards

Buoyant Force

the upward force that keeps an object immersed in or floating on a fluid

32
New cards

What is Archimedes principle used to find?

Buoyant force

33
New cards

Using Archimedes principle was does the buoyant force on an object in a fluid react?

The buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces.

34
New cards

How do you know if an object will float or sink?

An object will float or sink based on its density.

35
New cards

What happens if an object is less dense than the fluid?

If an object is less dense than the fluid in which it is placed, it will float.

36
New cards

What happens if an object is more dense than the fluid?

If an object is more dense than the fluid in which it is placed, it will sink.

37
New cards

What happens when pressure in a fluid changes?

Pascal’s principle states that a change in pressure at any point in an enclosed fluid will be transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid. In other words, if the pressure in a container is increased at any point, the pressure increases at all points by the same amount.

38
New cards

What is the formula for Pascals Principle?

Because P = F/A, Pascal’s principle can also be expressed as F1/A1 = F2/A2.

39
New cards

What devices are based on Pascals principle?

Hydraulic devices

40
New cards

How do Hydraulic devices work?


Because the pressure is the same on both sides of the enclosed fluid, a small force on the smaller area (left) produces a much larger force on the larger area (right).

41
New cards

What affects the speed of a fluid in motion?

Fluids move faster through small areas than through larger areas, if the overall flow rate remains constant. Fluids also vary in the rate at which they flow.

42
New cards

What does viscosity depend on?

Depends on particle attraction.

43
New cards

How does liquid move when viscosity is great?

The greater the viscosity the slower the flow.

44
New cards

What are characteristics of gas?

Expands to fill the volume,

Can also compress,

  • Shape depends on the container

  • Volume depends on the container

Particles spread out evenly to fill whatever space they have

45
New cards

What are some properties of gases?

Gases expand to fill their containers. They spread out easily and mix with one another. They have low densities and are compressible. Unlike solids and liquids, gases are mostly empty space. Also, gases exert pressure on their containers.

46
New cards

Boyle’s Law

Hold Temperature constant

Volume moves opposite of pressure

Pressure x Volume = constant

47
New cards

Gay - Lussac’s Law

Relates gas pressure to temperature. The pressure of a gas increases as the temperature increases, if the volume of the gas does not change. The pressure decreases as the temperature decreases.

48
New cards

Gay - Lussac’s Law Pressure and Temperature

For constant volume

Pressure and Temperature change together

As a gas particles get warmer, they move faster

Moving faster they hit harder and increase the pressure

49
New cards

Charles’ Law

Relates temperature to volume. For a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas increases as the gas’s temperature increases. Likewise, the volume of the gas decreases as the gas’s temperature decreases.

50
New cards

Charles’ Law Temperature and Volume

Hold Pressure constant

As temperature increases, the volume also increases

51
New cards

According to the kinetic theory of matter, which of the following are true about matter?

The atoms and molecules of a substance are always in motion.

The higher the temperature of a substance, the faster its particles move.

More massive particles move more slowly than less massive particles.

52
New cards

The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object is called

temperature

53
New cards

A substance changes from a liquid to a gas during evaporation because

energy is absorbed

54
New cards

Which properties are shared by solids, liquids, and gasses?

Their particles are in constant motion

55
New cards

Unlike a gas, a plasma

conducts electric current

56
New cards

What happens to the particles of a substance when it condenses?

particles slow down and clump together

57
New cards

According to the law of conservation of mass,

total mass stays the same in changes of state

58
New cards

When ice melts to form liquid, energy is

absorbed

59
New cards

The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid is the

freezing point

60
New cards

The process of a solid changing directly into a gas is called

sublimation

61
New cards

All matter is made of atoms and molecules that are

always in motion
