what is density?
how tightly packed the matter is in a given space
density equation
density= mass/volume p=m/v
density (Kg/M^3, g/cm^3)
mass(Kg)
volume= cm^3, m^3
What is the law of displacement?
Law of Displacement -an object completely submerged in a fluid (like water) will replace an amount of fluid equal to its own volume
what happens to mass when the state changes(conservation of mass)
stays the same because the number of particles is the same
what is specific heat capacity?
energy required to increase 1 kg of a substance by 1 degrees Celsius
what is specific latent heat?
the amount of energy required to change the state of 1kg of a substance at a constant temperature
latent heat equation
energy=mass x specific latent heat
SLH = J/k Mass = Kg Energy = J
what is latent heat /
the energy transferred to a substance without the substances temperature rising
What is density?
The amount of mass in a fixed volume how tightly compacted matter is
Density equation
P=m/v
Units for density
g/cm^3
Kg/m^3
Why do objects float
Because they have a low mass of matter in a volume this means they have a low mass of matter in a volume so this means they have a less density than the liquid, this means the object floats in addition an up thrust force causes this
What is sublimation?
Solid to gas
What is deposition?
Gas to solid
What is freezing ?
Liquid to solid
What is evaporation?
Liquid to gas
What is melting?
Solid to liquid
What is condensation ?
Gas to liquid
Solids characteristics
Particles vibrate aroun a fixed point, with little energy , particles re regularly arranged and are tightly compacted , strong bond of attraction
Liquid characteristics
Particles are close, the particles move round each other , they are randomly arranged and have greater energy than solids
Small forces of attraction
Gases characteristics
Particles are far apart
Particles are randomly arranged
Particles move quickly in all directions
High energy
No forces of attraction / weak forces of attraction
Required Practical 5. Density of regular and irregular solid
- Firstly measure the mass of regular solid
using a balance - Note the mass in a table
- using vernier calipers measure the length, width and
height of the object - multiply the length width and height to
calculate the volume of the object
5-now calculate the volume of the object us, the
equation density- mass ÷ volume. - Repent steps 1-5 3 more times and calculate
a mean - Now measure the mass of an irregular solid
using a balance. Record the mass - To calculate to value, fill an Eureka (displacement) with water until the water is level( use a measuring cylinder(not that relevant)
with the spout. - Place a measuring cylinder below the spout
- Lower the irregular solid into the Eureka (displacement) can slowly
- The water displaced into the measuring cylinder is the volume of the solid
- measure (read) the value of water displaced and note this down
- Use the volume and mass to calculate
the density using density= mass/volume - Repeat 3 more times at calculate a mean
- write a conclusion
What is the conservation of mass?
When a substance changes state its mass is the same as the number of particles is the same
Mini practical- Finding the melting point of stearic acid
Place solid stearic acid in a boiling tube with a thermometer inside(the acid)
Record staring temperature using a thermometer
Place test tube in a beaker contains water(water bath)
Heat with a Bunsen Bruner , start a stop clock and measure the tempearture using the thermometer every minute
Remove from hot water once all the acid melts, record the final temapetaturE this is the melting point
Repeat 3 more times and calculate a mean
(To work out melting point)
Plot a graph with the results
