Study Notes
Diffusion
- Ammonia (NH3) particles have a lower mass than Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) particles, so they diffuse faster.
- The white smoke (NH4Cl) forms closer to the Hydrochloric acid (HCl) because the ammonia (NH3) diffuses faster.
- The lower the relative molecular mass of a gas, the faster the gas diffuses.
- When a gas is heated, its particles move faster as they gain energy.
- Heating a gas causes faster diffusion due to increased collisions between particles.
- Diffusion can be used to separate mixtures of gases with different diffusion rates.
- Diffusion can also be used to explain why an open bottle of perfume can be smelt across a room.
States of Matter
- The graph represents the change of state from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water) to a gas (steam).
- At point B (on the graph) the change of state from solid to liquid occurs.
- At point B the temperature remains constant until all the solid ice has changed into liquid water.
- At point D the change of state from liquid to gas occurs.
- At point D the temperature remains constant until all the liquid water has changed into gas (water vapor) at 100 °C.
- A decrease in temperature of a gas produces a decrease in volume. The gas contracts.
Changes of State
- Condensation involves the release of energy as particles come closer together.
- Freezing involves the release of energy as particles come closer together.
Energy and Changes of State
- Exothermic changes release heat energy.
- Endothermic changes absorb heat energy.
Mixtures
- A mixture is formed when two or more substances are mixed together but not chemically combined.
- The substances in a mixture can be separated by physical means.
- A solution is a mixture of a solute and a solvent.
- A solute is the substance that dissolves in the solvent to form a solution.
- A solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute to form a solution.
- Water is the most common solvent.
- Solubility is a measure of how much solute can dissolve in a solvent at a particular temperature.
Solutions
- A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature.
- Concentration refers to the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent.
Brownian Motion
- Brownian motion is the random motion of particles in a suspension.
- Brownian motion is caused by invisible particles colliding with visible particles.
The Kinetic Particle Theory
- All matter is made up of small, invisible particles.
- Each element is composed of its own type of atom.
- Atoms of different elements can combine to make the molecules of a compound.
- The speed of particles depends on their mass and temperature.
- Lighter particles move faster than heavier particles at the same temperature.
- Gases can fill any volume because their particles are free to move anywhere.
Other Concepts
- Alloys are mixtures of elements (usually metals) with properties suitable for a specific purpose.
- A suspension is a mixture containing small particles or droplets suspended throughout a liquid.
- A precipitation reaction forms an insoluble salt from solutions of two soluble salts.
