STATES OF MATTER Flashcards
(119 cards)
Three Primary States of Matter
- Solid
- Liquid
- Gas
Mesophases
- Liquid crystalline state
- Supercritical fluids
- IM Forces is enough, but weaker than gasses
- has definite volume and shape
- dependent on the shape of the container
LIQUID
- greater kinetic energy than any molecules
- has no definite shape and volume
GAS
- impact and definite shape and size
- not dependent on the shape of the container
- molecules are locked in position
SOLID
Temperature – 0 degrees C or 273.13 K
Temperature
Addition of energy
heat
Gas molecules travel in random paths
THE GASEOUS STATE
Liquid to gas
evaporation
Solid to liquid
melting
force per unit area; recorded in atmospheres or in mm of mercury (mmHg)
Pressure
Gas to liquid
condensation
NH3 Critical temperature
132
Solid to gas
sublimation
Liquid to solid
freezing
A lot os space between the particles compared to the size of the particles themselves
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Gas to solid
deposition
Pressure is inversely proportional to volume
Boyle’s Law (PiV)
expressed in L or cubic centimeters
(1 cm3 = 1 mL)
Volume
The speed that the particles move increases with increasing temperature
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Ideal Gas Equation
PV = nRT
n = number of moles
R = Gas constant (0.0821 L. atm / mole K)
Pressure is directly proportional to Temperature
Gay-Lussac’s Law (PdT)
Gas constant
(0.0821 L. atm / mole K)
When there is a cooling or compression of gasses it will turn into liquid and vice versa.
Liquefaction of Gases
