Chemistry - Chapter 1 - States of matter
Matter is something that occupies space and has mass
Matter is divided into three - solid, liquid and gas. Changing the temperature and or pressure can change the state in which a substance exist. Liquid and gases are able to flow but a solid has a fixed shape and volume. Liquids and gases are fluids. When the temperature is increased and a decrease in volume (a contraction) when the temperature is lowered. The effect is much bigger for a gas, than a solid or a liquid. Volume of a gas at a fixed temperature can easily be reduced by increasing the pressure on the gas. Large increase, or decrease, in temperature and pressure can cause changes that are more dramatic than expansion or contraction Temperature at which a substance turns to a liquid is called melting point. Melting point is the temperature at which solid turns into a liquid. It has the same value as the freezing point A pure substance has a sharp melting point. The process is reversed at precisely the same temperature if a liquid is cooled down. It is then called the freezing point. Solid carbon dioxide is often called as dry ice because the surface of the block is dry. Sublimation is a direct change of a state from solid to gas or gas to solid liquid face is bypass. Evaporation is a process occurring at the surface of a liquid, involving the change of a state from liquid into a vapour at the temperature below the boiling point. The larger the surface area, the faster the liquid evaporates and the warmer the liquid is the faster it evaporates Boiling it is the process of changing from liquid to gas at the boiling point of the substance. Boiling point, it is the temperature at which liquid boils, when the pressure of the gas created above the liquid equals atmospheric pressure. Volatile it is the term that describes a liquid that evaporates easily. Condensation it is the change of a vapour or a gas into a liquid. During this process heat is given out into the surroundings. A pure substance consist only of one substance without any contaminating impurities A pure substance is defined as a single chemical element or a compound. It melts and boils at definite precise temperatures. When there is no space in the particles they are called Inter-particle space. If the force is less, the particles move randomly If the condition is the same, the melting in the boiling point is not affected Latent heat is a Hidden heat (It is the amount of energy which is used to convert the state of matter of mole of a substance) Solid to liquid is melting and liquid to gas is called boiling and this after the process is called vapour formation matter is divided into very small particles known as atoms Lactic regular, three-dimensional arrangement of atoms, molecules or ions in a crystalline solid. Main points of kinetic particle theory: All matter is made up of very small particles. Different substances contain in different types of particles such as atoms, molecules or ions. Particles or moving all the time, the higher the temperature, higher the average energy of particles The freedom of movement and the arrangement of particle is different for three states of matter The pressure of a gas is product and by the atoms or molecules of the gas hitting the walls of the container. The more often the particles collide which is the wall, the greater the pressure. Atom. It is the smallest particle of an element that take place in a chemical reaction. Can you take particle theory it is a theory which accounts for the bulk properties of the different states of matter in terms of movement of particles Atoms or molecules. The theory explains what happens during the change in physical state. Molecule it is a group of atoms held together by covalent bonds. In solid the particles are packed closely in liquid. The particles are still close together and in gas. The particles are very far apart and move randomly. The space between the particles is called intermolecular space Intermolecular forces are the weak attractive forces that act between the molecules Exothermic changes a process or chemical reaction in which heat is produced and released in the surrounding. it has a negative value Endothermic changes is a process or a chemical reaction that takes in heat from the surrounding It has a positive value. Mixture is two or more substances mix together, but not chemically combined-the substances can be separated by physical means Solution is formed when substance (solute)dissolves into another substance (solvent) Salute it is the solid substance that has dissolved in a liquid Solvent. It is a liquid that deserves the solid solute to form and solution. Water is the most common solvent but liquids are in organic chemistry that act a solvent is called organic solvents Suspension it is a mixture containing small particles of insoluble, solid or droplets of an insoluble liquid, spread(suspended) throughout a liquid Precipitation reaction. It is a reaction in which an insoluble salt is prepared from solution of two soluble salts. Alloys dear. The mixture of elements usually metals designed to have Property is useful for particular purpose Insoluble substance that does not dissolve in a particular solvent Soluble -a solute that dissolves in particular solvent Miscible if to liquid form a complete uniform mixture. When added together they are said to be it. Saturday solution solution that contains as much dissolved, salute as possible at particular temperature Concentration a measure of how much salute is dissolved in a solvent to make a solution Solubility is a measure of how much a solvent dissolves into a solvent in a particular temperature Gas is become less soluble in water as the temperature increases The Solubility of gases increase with pressure Diffusion. It is the process by which different fluids mix as a result of the random motion of their particles. Main ideas that involve in diffusion are: Particles move from a region of higher concentration to words the region of lower concentration. Eventually, the particles are evenly spread it. The concentration is the same all throughout The rate of diffusion in liquid is much lower than in gases Diffusion does not take place in solid as the particles cannot move from place to place When the temperature increases, the rate of diffusion increases Vander walls is a weak force of attraction in better neutral molecules To check out the important points.
