Kinetic Theory of Matter

The kinetic theory of matter explains the physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases by considering the arrangement and movement of particles within them.

Solid

The state of matter with the highest density, where particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions.

Liquid

The state of matter with medium density, where particles are close together but can move around.

Gas

The state of matter with the lowest density, where particles are far apart and move freely.

Boyle's Law

The relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Boiling

The process of a liquid changing into a gas, occurring at a specific temperature called the boiling point. It involves heating the liquid, causing bubbles of gas to form below the surface and escape.

Evaporation

The process of a liquid changing into a gas that occurs over a range of temperatures, not just at a specific point like boiling. It occurs at the surface where high-energy particles escape, even when the liquid isn't at its boiling point.

Condensation

The process of a gas changing into a liquid caused by cooling. It occurs over a range of temperatures as gas particles lose energy and clump together to form a liquid.

How does molecular mass affect diffusion?

The rate of diffusion is affected by the molecular mass of the gas. Lighter gases diffuse faster than heavier gases at the same temperature because their particles move faster.

What should you include when discussing diffusion?

When discussing diffusion, it's important to mention the areas of high and low concentration, as well as the energy and movement of the particles. This helps explain why diffusion occurs.

Study Notes

Solids, Liquids & Gases

  • Solids have a fixed volume and shape, high density

  • Atoms vibrate in position, cannot change location

  • Particles are closely packed, fixed, and regular pattern

  • Liquids have a fixed volume, adopt container shape

  • Generally less dense than solids (except water), denser than gases

  • Particles move and slide past each other, free-flowing

  • Gases have no fixed volume or shape, adopt container shape

  • Very low density

  • Particles are far apart, gases can be compressed into a smaller volume

  • Particles collide with each other and container walls, creating pressure

Kinetic Theory

  • Substances are made of particles
  • Particles are in constant, random motion
  • Particles collide with each other and the container walls

States of Matter

  • State changes occur when energy, arrangement, and movement of particles changes
  • Solids become liquids (melting)
  • Liquids become gases (vaporization)
  • Gases become liquids (condensation)
  • Liquids become solids (freezing)
  • Solids can become gases (sublimation)
  • Gases can become solids (deposition)

Pressure and Temperature in Gases

  • Change in temperature or pressure affects gas volume
  • Increasing temperature causes gas volume to increase, density decreases, balloon rises
  • Squeezing a gas container increases pressure, decreasing volume

Diffusion

  • Particles move from high concentration to low concentration
  • Eventually, concentration is even throughout available space
  • No energy input is needed for diffusion
  • Faster at higher temperatures (more kinetic energy)
  • Gases-faster than liquids
  • Example: Potassium manganate (VII) in water, bromine gas in a container

Molecular Mass and Diffusion

  • At same temperature, gases with lower molecular masses diffuse faster
  • Gases with higher molecular masses diffuse slower
  • Example: Ammonia and hydrogen chloride react to form ammonium chloride
