    Study Notes

    States of Matter

    • There are three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.
    • Solids have a definite shape and volume.
    • Liquids take the shape of their container and have a definite volume.
    • Gases take the shape and volume of their container.
    • Fluids are substances that flow; Liquids and gases are considered fluids.
    • Condensation is when a gas turns into a liquid.
    • Freezing is when a liquid turns into a solid.
    • Sublimation is when a solid turns into a gas.
    • Vaporization is when a liquid turns into a gas.
    • Deposition is when a gas turns into a solid.
    • Melting is when a solid turns into a liquid.

    Mixtures

    • Mechanical Mixtures are heterogeneous mixtures where the components are easily distinguishable (salad, trail mix).
    • Suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures where particles settle slowly after mixing (paint, blood).
    • Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures where particles do not settle (milk, gelatin).
    • Solutions are homogeneous mixtures where no settling occurs (vinegar, saltwater).

    Dissolving Materials

    • Soluble materials dissolve to form a solution.
    • Insoluble materials do not dissolve.
    • The strength of attraction between solvent and solute particles determines whether a material will dissolve.

    Sugar-Water Solution

    • The solute in a sugar-water solution is sugar.
    • The solvent in a sugar-water solution is water.

    Separation Methods

    • Sand and Water Mixture:
      • Evaporation
      • Filtration
      • Sifting
    • Salt and Water Mixture:
      • Evaporation
      • Distillation
    • Woodchip and Water Mixture:
      • By hand/Floatation

    Viscosity and Flow Rate

    • Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.
    • Flow rate is the speed at which a fluid moves.
    • Increased viscosity leads to decreased flow rate.
    • Decreased viscosity leads to increased flow rate.

    Density

    • Density is a measure of mass per unit volume.
    • Formula for density: $D = \frac{M}{V}$
    • Solids are the most dense state of matter.
    • Liquids are moderately dense.
    • Gases are the least dense state of matter.

    Buoyancy

    • Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float or rise in a fluid.
    • Buoyancy and density are related through the hydrometer (an instrument that measures liquid density).
    • A hydrometer floats higher in liquids with higher density and sinks lower in liquids with lower density.

    Pressure

    • Pressure is the force applied per unit area.
    • Formula for pressure: $P = \frac{F}{A}$

    Compressibility

    • Gases are compressible because their particles can be squeezed closer together.
    • Liquids are incompressible because their particles are already close together.

    Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

    • Balanced forces occur when forces are equal and opposite, resulting in no net movement.
    • Unbalanced forces occur when forces are unequal, resulting in movement.

    Atmospheric Pressure

    • Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases, due to fewer air particles pressing down.

    Aerosols

    • Aerosols work by using high-energy gas particles confined in strong-walled containers.
    • When released through openings, the gas particles exit with great force.
