Study Notes
Densities of Solids and Liquids
- The density of a solid is higher than that of a liquid because the particles are closer together in a solid.
- The mass of a substance per unit volume is higher in a solid than in a liquid.
Calculating Density
- Density = Mass / Volume
- Units: Mass (kg), Volume (m³), Density (kg/m³)
- Example: Calculating the density of an iron girder: Density = 7074 kg / 0.9 m³ = 7860 kg/m³
- Example: Calculating the mass of a delivery of copper: Mass = Density x Volume = 8960 kg/m³ x 0.5 m³ = 4480 kg
Measuring Density
- Method for measuring density of a liquid:
- Place a measuring cylinder on a balance and pour in the liquid
- Use the volume in the measuring cylinder and the mass on the balance to calculate density
- Method for measuring density of a solid:
- Place a solid on a balance to measure its mass
- Fill a displacement can with water and place a measuring cylinder under the spout
- Add the solid into the water, the water displaced is the volume of the solid
- Calculate the density
Changes of State
- Changes of state are physical changes because no new substances are formed (the particle arrangement just changes)
- Types of changes of state:
- Sublimation
- Melting
- Boiling
- Freezing
- Condensing
- Deposition
Properties of Solids, Liquids, and Gases
- Solids cannot be compressed because there are no gaps between the particles
- Liquids are similar to solids and cannot be compressed
- Gases can be compressed because there are lots of space between the particles
