Study Notes
Phases of Matter
- Water vapor is classified as a gas.
- Solids have atoms that are tightly packed and vibrate in place, whereas liquids have atoms that are close together but can move freely; when energy is added to solids, their atoms vibrate faster, potentially transforming into a liquid.
- Changing a liquid into a solid can be achieved through freezing, where energy is removed.
- Solids maintain a fixed shape even when subjected to external forces, such as being hit by a water balloon.
- Liquids take the shape of their container, filling it from the bottom up.
Energy and Molecular Movement
- Molecules in a ball filled with air will contract and move slower when moved to a colder environment due to decreased thermal energy.
- The coldest possible temperature is referred to as absolute zero, which is 0 Kelvin.
- Carbonation in beverages like Coca-Cola adds carbon dioxide gas, creating bubbles that enhance texture and taste.
Phase Changes and Energy
- Boiling a solid in a liquid produces a gas phase as vapor rises.
- Phase changes such as melting or boiling require the addition of pure energy (heat).
- Freezers serve the primary purpose of removing energy from food items, facilitating freeze processes to preserve them.
- Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic liquid that remains at extremely low temperatures, often used for cooling and preservation.
Interactions of Molecules
- As molecules get closer together, their potential for motion decreases, leading to states of matter with increased density, such as solids from liquids.
- The three phases of matter commonly referenced are solid, liquid, and gas.
- Liquid atoms, similar to solid atoms, also become more mobile when energy is added, transitioning toward a gaseous state.
- Rapid molecular movement is characteristic of gases, where particles fill the available space and collide frequently.
