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.
