Study Notes

  • Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
  • States of matter include solid, liquid, and gas.

Solids

  • Solids are firm and hard with a definite shape.
  • Examples of solids include stones, firewood, and cooking pots.

Liquids

  • Liquids have no fixed shape, taking the shape of their container.
  • Examples of liquids include water, juice, and soda.

Gases

  • Gases have no fixed shape and are usually lighter than solids and liquids.
  • Air is an example of a gas.

Investigating Properties of Matter

  • Matter can change states depending on temperature changes.

Experiment 1: Water in the Solid State

  • Aim: To demonstrate the properties of water in the solid state.
  • Water in its solid state (ice) is colourless, firm when pressed, and maintains its shape regardless of the container.
  • Solid ice floats in liquid water and melts into liquid water when exposed to warmer conditions.
  • Conclusion: Water in its solid state is firm, retains a definite shape and volume, and does not flow like liquid water.

Experiment 2: Water in the Liquid State

  • Aim: To demonstrate the properties of water in the liquid state.
  • Water in its liquid state has no colour, taste, or smell.
  • It has no definite shape, taking the shape of the container, but maintains a fixed volume.
  • Water flows freely from one place to another.
  • Conclusion: Water in its liquid state has no fixed shape but maintains a definite volume.

Experiment 3: Water in the Gaseous State

  • Aim: To demonstrate the properties of water in a gaseous state.
  • As the temperature rises to 100 °C, water boils and produces water vapour.
  • Water vapour has no colour or smell and cannot be touched.
  • It has no fixed shape or volume and spreads out to fill any available space.
  • When cooled, water vapour turns back into liquid water.
  • Conclusion: Water in its gaseous state has no fixed shape or volume, but when it cools down, it changes back into liquid water.

Experiment 4: Changing Gas to a Liquid State

  • Aim: To demonstrate the changing of gas to liquid state.
  • Liquid water boils, and water vapour escapes.
  • The water vapour condenses into small water droplets when it comes into contact with a cool surface.
  • Water vapour changes back into liquid water when it cools.
  • Conclusion: The experiment demonstrated the process of changing gas (water vapour) into liquid water through condensation.

Condensation

  • Condensation is the process of changing gas to liquid state.
  • The vapour condenses and appears as mist which turns into a liquid state.

Freezing Point of Water

  • Water freezes when it reaches a specific temperature.
  • The freezing point of water is the exact temperature at which a liquid freezes into a solid.
  • The freezing point enables uses such as preserving food, to slow bacterial growth and prevent spoilage of foods.

Experiment 5: Freezing Point of Water

  • Aim: To demonstrate the freezing point of water
  • When the temperature of water drops to 0 °C, the water begins to freeze.
  • Water freezes at a specific temperature as the freezing point.
  • 0 °C is the temperature at which water changes from liquid to solid.

Boiling Point of Water

  • Water boils when it reaches a specific temperature.
  • The boiling point is the exact temperature at which a liquid boils and turns to water vapour.
  • The boiling point ensures safe drinking water, and cooks food well.

Experiment 6: Boiling Point of Water

  • Aim: To demonstrate boiling point of water
  • When water reaches 100 °C, it boils.
  • This temperature is known as the boiling point of water.
  • Conclusion: The experiment showed that the boiling point of water is 100 °C.

Celsius

  • Celsius is a unit of measurement for temperature based on the freezing point of water at 0 °C and the boiling point of water at 100 °C.

Degree

  • A degree is a unit of measurement used to express how hot or cold something is.

Fahrenheit

  • Fahrenheit is a unit of measurement for temperature based on the freezing point of water at 32 °F and boiling point of water at 212 °F

Temperature

  • Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
