1 Particles + Mixtures Flashcards
(42 cards)
What is a solid?
Strong forces of attraction,
lattice arrangement.
Vibrate about fixed positions.
Do solids move/flow?
No they have fixed shape and volume.
What is a liquid?
Weaker forces of attraction (but still pretty strong)
Free to move around set point
Constant movement in random motion
Do liquids move/flow?
Definite volume not definite shapes - will flow at bottom of container.
What is a gas?
Very Weak forces No arrangement (particles far apart) Constantly moving in random motion.
Do gases move/flow?
No constant shape or volume- always fill container.
Liquid -> Gas
Evaporation
Solid -> Gas
Subliming
Solid -> Liquid
Melting
Liquid -> Solid
Freezing.
Gas -> Liquid
Condensation.
What can be done instead of evaporation?
Boiling.
What is diffusion?
Gradual movement of particles from places where there are lots, to places where there are few.
(Basically just particles spreading out)
What colour is bromine gas?
Orange/brown
Describe Bromine?
Strong smelling.
A student fills a glass jar with bromine gas (bottom of glass), and the other with air (top of glass). Separated with a glass plate. They then remove the plate.
What happens?
Bromine diffuses up.
A student fills a glass jar with bromine gas (bottom of glass), and the other with air (top of glass). Separated with a glass plate. They then remove the plate.
Why is this process slow?
Because the particles are colliding.
A student fills a glass jar with bromine gas (bottom of glass), and the other with air (top of glass). Separated with a glass plate. They then remove the plate.
Why is diffusion caused?
Because the particles are moving in random motion.
A student fills a glass jar with bromine gas (bottom of glass), and the other with air (top of glass). Separated with a glass plate. They then remove the plate.
How would you speed this up?
Vacuum - no collisions
Hotter - more energy.
A student fills a glass jar with bromine gas (bottom of glass), and the other with air (top of glass). Separated with a glass plate. They then remove the plate.
What is different about the bromine at the start than at the end?
Conc. of bromine is less at end. However is uniform.
Aqueous ammonia (NH3) and Hydrochloric acid are at either ends of the tube soaked in cotton wool. Ammonia gives off Ammonia gas, and Hydrochloric acid gives off Hydrogen Chloride gas.
What happens?
Both gases diffuse across and react to form Ammonium Chloride.
Aqueous ammonia (NH3) and Hydrochloric acid are at either ends of the tube soaked in cotton wool. Ammonia gives off Ammonia gas, and Hydrochloric acid gives off Hydrogen Chloride gas.
Where is Ammonium Chloride produced and why?
Nearest to Hydrochloric acid because the particles are heavier.
A student places Potassium VII at the bottom of a beaker with water and it slowly spreads.
Why does this happen?
Because the particles are moving in random motion.
A student places Potassium VII at the bottom of a beaker with water and it slowly spreads.
What would happen if you added more water?
The mixture will slowly spread and become less purple (dilute)
