Study Notes
Air
- Air is a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen (about 4/5ths)
- Also contains oxygen (essential for life), carbon dioxide, and water vapor
- The atmosphere surrounds the Earth
- Includes other gases like hydrogen and helium
Air Pollution
- Unclean air is a problem globally
- Pollution sources include factories, power plants, vehicles, and aircraft
- Air pollution is harmful to living things
- Sources such as smoke (cigarettes, cooking), spray cans, and paints contribute indoor and outdoor air pollution
- Air pollution can cause health problems (coughing, dizziness, headaches, breathing problems)
- Cigarette smoke can cause severe lung diseases
Water States
- Matter exists in three states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor)
- Water changes state when heated or cooled
- Melting occurs when a solid becomes a liquid (solid + heat → liquid)
- Boiling occurs when a liquid becomes a gas (liquid + heat → gas)
Melting Point and Boiling Point
- All substances have specific melting and boiling points
- Melting point (solid to liquid) and boiling point (liquid to gas) are substance properties
- Temperature measures the heat in a substance
- Water's melting point is 0°C and boiling point is 100°C (for pure water at standard pressure)
Water Expansion
- Substances expand when heated; particles move faster and spread out.
- Substances contract when cooled; particles move slower and closer together.
Evaporation
- Liquids change to gases when heated, called evaporation
- Particles on the surface of a liquid gain enough energy to transition into a gas state (liquid + heat → gas) This occurs throughout the liquid, not just on its surface
- Evaporation happens constantly around us
Condensation
- Gas particles lose energy when they cool, causing them to come closer together and become a liquid (gas + cool → liquid)
- The reverse process of evaporation
Dissolving and Solutions
- Solids that dissolve in liquids are called soluble.
- Liquids in which solids dissolve are called solvents
- Solutions are mixtures of a solute and a solvent
- Water acts as a universal solvent
Water Pollution
- Pollutants can be dissolved in water; causing harm to plants, animals, and people
- Pollution from factories and farms (fertilizers) are examples
- Water can be polluted from other sources such as waste, oil and plastic
