What do you observe just above the solid crystal in the glass of hot water?
What do you observe just above the solid crystal in the glass of hot water?
You would observe a clearer solution with some dissolved particles appearing to fill the spaces above the solid.
What happens to the crystal of copper sulphate or potassium permanganate over time in both hot and cold water?
What happens to the crystal of copper sulphate or potassium permanganate over time in both hot and cold water?
The crystals gradually dissolve, and their particles spread throughout the water, leading to a uniform color over time.
What does the dissolution of solid particles in water suggest about the interaction between solid and liquid particles?
What does the dissolution of solid particles in water suggest about the interaction between solid and liquid particles?
It suggests that solid particles have enough space to fit into the spaces between liquid particles, allowing them to mix.

Study Notes
Properties of Matter
- Temperature increase results in particles moving faster and higher kinetic energy.
- Diffusion is the intermixing of particles from different types of matter, occurring spontaneously as they occupy spaces between each other.
Activities Observing Matter
- Three activities illustrate the behavior of particles:
- Activity 1.7: Iron nail, chalk, and rubber band demonstrate different forces holding particles together.
- Activity 1.8: Demonstrating cutting the surface of water, showing the cohesive force of water particles.
- The strength of attraction between particles varies among different substances.
Observations on Matter
- Examples of matter include chair, air, almonds, and lemon water, while love and thoughts are not considered matter.
- The diffusion of smells, such as from hot food reaching further than cold food, indicates faster diffusion at higher temperatures.
Characteristics of Particles
- Particles of matter possess space between them as shown by the even distribution of sugar or salt in water.
- The observation of solution mixing varies with temperature, highlighting the influence of heat on the rate of diffusion.
Continuous Movement
- Particles are in constant motion, which is a characteristic of matter that underlies the phenomena of diffusion and kinetic energy.
