Study Notes

States of Matter

A solid has a definite shape and volume at a given temperature and pressure.

Phase Transitions

Water transitions into the gaseous state at 100°C (boiling point).
The triple point is the temperature and pressure at which all three phases (solid, liquid, and gas) of a substance coexist in equilibrium.

Plasma

Plasma is often referred to as the fourth state of matter.
Plasma exists at very high temperatures.

Phase Equilibrium

Water has all three phases in equilibrium at a pressure of 611.73 Pascals and a temperature of 0.01°C (triple point).

Gas Properties

Pressure and the gaseous state are directly related: as pressure increases, the volume of a gas decreases.
The number of moles of a gas is directly proportional to its mass.
Volume is expressed in terms of liters (L) for gases.
Temperature in the context of gases is the measure of the average kinetic energy of gas molecules.

Pressure and Altitude

Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude.
The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa).

Temperature Scales

The Celsius scale measures temperature, with 0°C being the freezing point and 100°C being the boiling point of water.
The Fahrenheit scale measures temperature, with 32°F being the freezing point and 212°F being the boiling point of water.
The Kelvin scale is the absolute temperature scale, with 0 K being absolute zero.
The conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit is °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32.

Gas Interactions

The force experienced by the walls of a container due to gas molecules' bombardment is pressure.

Standard Atmospheric Pressure

The standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101,325 Pa, equivalent to a mercury column height of 760 mm.

Molar Mass

The molar mass of a gas is the mass of one mole of the gas.
The molar mass is proportional to the mass of a gas.
