Study Notes
Solids, Liquids, and Gases
- Solids are very hard to compress, cannot be poured, and hold a fixed shape and volume.
- Liquids are hard to compress, can be poured, and take the shape of their container but have a fixed volume.
- Gases are easy to compress, can be poured, and take the shape and volume of their container.
- Particles in solids have a regular arrangement and vibrate about fixed positions.
- Particles in liquids have a random arrangement and move around each other.
- Particles in gases have a random arrangement and move quickly in all directions.
- Changing state involves changes in the forces between particles and adding or removing heat energy (kinetic energy).
- Processes like melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, sublimation, and decomposition are examples of state changes.
Dilution and Diffusion
- Dilution is adding solvent to a solution. This decreases the concentration of the solute in the solution.
- Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
- Hydrogen chloride diffuses slower than ammonia because of its larger particles and ammonia has smaller particles.
- Hazards of working with these substances include corrosive gases, requiring safety equipment like gloves and goggles.
