Particle Model of Matter (P3) Flashcards
Define Density
Density is the mass for a given volume
What are the three common states of matter?
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Describe properties of particles in a solid?
Very close together
Arranged in a regular pattern
Vibrate but do not move from place to place
Describe properties of particles in a liquid?
Close together
Not arranged in a regular pattern
Can move around each other
Describe properties of particles in a gas?
Far apart
Not arranged in a regular pattern
Moving very rapidly
Equation for density
ρ=m/v
Density (kg/m^3) = Mass (kg) / Volume (m^3)
What is the density in solids?
Very High
What is the density in liquid?
High
What is the density in gas?
Low
Why does polystyrene have low density?
It has many air spaces
How do we measure the volume of a regular object such as a cube?
Base x Height x Width
How do we investigate the density of a cube?
Measure the mass
Measure the volume (bhw)
Put it into the equation ρ=m/v
How do we investigate the density of a cube?
Measure the mass using a balance
Measure the volume (bxhxw)
Put it into the equation ρ=m/v
How do we investigate the density of an irregular object?
Measure the mass using a balance Fill a Eureka can with water Place the object in the Eureka can Measure the volume of water that leaves the can (same as the volume of the object) Put it into the equation ρ=m/v
Define Internal Energy
The energy stored in a system by the particles
total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles that make up a system
Which types of energy do particles have?
Kinetic
Potential
What do we do to a solid to turn it into a liquid?
Increase the internal energy
Melting
What do we do to a liquid to turn it into a gas?
Increase the internal energy
Boiling
What do we do to a gas to turn it into a liquid?
Reduce the internal energy
Condensing
What do we do to a liquid to turn it into a solid?
Reduce the internal energy
Freezing
What is it called when a solid turns into a gas?
Sublimation
Why is changing states a reversible process?
It is a physical change, not chemical
Define Evaporation
When a liquid turns to a gas but only on the surface of the liquid
Define Specific Heat Capacity
The energy required to raise 1kg of a substance by 1*C
