Study Notes
Matter and its Properties
- Matter has mass, occupies space, and is perceptible by senses.
- Matter is composed of tiny particles called molecules.
Evaporation
- Evaporation is the transition of liquid to vapor at all temperatures from the liquid surface.
- Intermolecular forces are weaker in liquids than in solids, allowing liquid molecules to move freely and collide, transferring energy.
- Molecules with higher kinetic energy reach the surface and absorb heat from the surroundings to escape into the surrounding space as vapor. This occurs even without external heat, driven by collisions and energy transfer between molecules. This escape occurs only from the liquid's surface, making evaporation a surface phenomenon.
- Only surface molecules participate in evaporation.
- Evaporation cools the remaining liquid because it draws heat from the surroundings.
- Factors accelerating evaporation include:
- Blowing air above the surface removes escaping molecules, creating space for more to evaporate.
- Increasing surface area increases the number of molecules able to escape.
- Raising temperature increases kinetic energy and more molecules reach escape velocity.
- The process continues until all the liquid evaporates.
- No external heat is needed for evaporation.
Boiling
- Boiling is the transition of liquid to vapor at a constant temperature throughout the substance.
- During boiling, molecules throughout the liquid gain enough kinetic energy to escape from the interior, as well as the surface.
- Bubbles form throughout the liquid and rise to the surface.
- The heat energy supplied during boiling is used to increase the average kinetic energy of liquid molecules, enabling them to overcome intermolecular forces and escape. Increased kinetic energy leads to increased molecular movement.
Thermal Expansion
- Thermal expansion is the increase in the size of a substance when heated.
- Factors affecting linear expansion of a metal rod include: original length, temperature increase, and material of the rod.
- Longer rods expand more for the same temperature increase than shorter ones.
- Rods heated to a higher temperature expand more than those heated to a lower temperature.
- Different materials expand at different rates. Expansion depends only on material and the temperature change, not shape (hollow or solid).
- Applications in everyday life include:
- Gaps between train tracks to prevent buckling.
- Fitting iron rims to wooden wheels by heating the rim to expand it, then cooling to tighten the fit.
- Preventing telephone wire breakage in cold weather by accounting for contraction.
- Cement floor construction with gaps to allow for expansion during temperature changes. Demonstrates expansion/contraction for loosening and tightening due to differences in thermal expansion rates.
- Expanding ball not passing through a ring, but contracting to fit through it on cooling.
- Empty glass bottle filled with air - air expands on heating and escapes as bubbles.
- Hot water on a bottle neck - the neck expands, allowing the stopper to loosen.
Expansion of Liquids
- Expansion of liquids depends on the type of liquid, with liquids generally expanding more than solids for the same heat input.
- Liquids and gases more noticeably decrease in density with increasing temperature than solids.
- Coefficient of cubical expansion of benzene is greater than alcohol and water.
- The volume of a substance increases on heating while its mass remains constant. Therefore, its density decreases.
- Solids exhibit less noticeable density change due to negligible volume change compared to liquids and gases.
Anomalous Expansion of Water
- Water contracts between 0°C and 4°C and then expands upon further heating. This is called anomalous behavior.
- Above 4°C, water expands like other liquids.
- Mass remains constant on heating.
Summary of key factors for Thermal Expansion
- Original Length: Longer things expand more than shorter things (at the same rate for a given temperature increase).
- Temperature Change: Greater temperature rises cause more expansion.
- Material: Different materials expand different amounts. Expansion is independent of shape (e.g., hollow vs. solid).
