Study Notes
Change of State and Sublimation
- Sublimation refers to the direct change of a solid to gas without becoming liquid.
- Deposition is the direct transition from gas to solid without passing through the liquid state.
Properties of Gases
- Applying pressure and reducing temperature can liquefy gases.
- Solid carbon dioxide (CO2), known as dry ice, transitions directly to gas when pressure is decreased to 1 atmosphere, bypassing the liquid state.
Factors Determining State of Matter
- Temperature and pressure are critical in determining whether a substance exists as a solid, liquid, or gas.
- The molecular arrangement distinguishes different states of matter.
Pressure and States of Matter
- The distance between particles explains various states of matter.
- Compressing a gas by applying pressure alters its state.
Units of Pressure
- Atmospheric pressure is measured in atmospheres (atm) and pascals (Pa).
- 1 atmosphere equals approximately 1.01 × 10^5 pascals.
Properties Comparison of States of Matter
- The characteristics of states of matter include rigidity, compressibility, fluidity, ability to fill a container, shape, kinetic energy, and density.
Density of Substances
- Density is defined as mass per unit volume, expressed as density = mass/volume.
- The order of increasing density for selected substances is: air, exhaust from chimneys, cotton, chalk, water, honey, iron.
Observations and Inferences
- A gas expands to fill its container, exerting pressure on its walls.
- Solids like wood maintain a fixed shape and resist deformation, contrasting with fluid behaviors in gases.
Ice Floating on Water
- Liquids generally have lower density than solids; however, ice floats due to its lower density compared to liquid water. This phenomenon can be observed when melting ice is placed in water.

Description
Test your knowledge on sublimation and deposition processes by analyzing an experimental setup involving camphor. Learn about the direct changes of state from solid to gas (sublimation) and gas to solid (deposition) without an intermediate liquid state.
