Study Notes
States of Matter
- Solids: Have a fixed shape and volume. Particles are in fixed positions, vibrating.
- Liquids: Have a fixed volume but no fixed shape. Particles can slide past each other.
- Gases: Have neither a fixed shape nor volume. Particles move freely at high speeds.
State Changes
- Melting: Solid to liquid
- Freezing: Liquid to solid
- Boiling: Liquid to gas
- Condensation: Gas to liquid
- Sublimation: Solid directly to gas (no liquid phase)
Particle Model of Matter
- Solids: Particles are closely packed and vibrate in fixed positions.
- Liquids: Particles are closer together than in a gas but can move past each other.
- Gases: Particles are far apart and move randomly at high speeds.
Temperature and Particle Motion
- Higher temperature = faster-moving particles.
- Absolute zero (-273°C) = no particle motion (minimum kinetic energy).
Pressure in Gases
- Pressure is caused by particle collisions with container walls.
- Increased temperature → more frequent and forceful collisions → higher pressure.
Evidence for Kinetic Theory
- Brownian motion: random motion of microscopic particles in a fluid, caused by their collisions with faster-moving gas or liquid molecules.
Forces Between Particles
- Attractive and repulsive forces between particles influence the properties of matter.
Pressure (Force Approach)
- Pressure = force per unit area exerted by particles.
Microscopic Motion of Particles
- Motion of light particles is influenced by collisions with gas molecules.
Temperature and Gas Volume (Constant Volume)
- Increasing temperature of a gas in a fixed container increases the pressure.
Temperature and Gas Volume (Constant Temperature)
- Decreasing the volume of a gas at a constant temperature increases the pressure.
Gas Law (PV = constant) (Core and Supplement)
- The product of pressure (P) and volume (V) is constant for a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature.
- Graphically, pressure is inversely proportional to volume (P ∝ 1/V).
Temperature Conversions
- Kelvin (K) = Celsius (°C) + 273
- Absolute Temperature Conversion Formula: T(K) = θ (°C) + 273
