what is the change of state from solid -> liquid?heat
melting
what is the change of state from liquid -> gas?
boiling/evaporation
what is the change of state from gas -> liquid?
condensation
what is the change of state from liquid -> solid?
freezing
what is the change of state between solid and gas?
sublimation
what is the energy change when melting?
heat taken in
energy is needed to break bonds between the particles in the solid
what is the energy change when boiling?
heat taken in
energy is needed to break the bonds between the particles in the liquid
what is the energy change when freezing?
heat given out
energy given out as particles bond together in the solid
what is the energy change when condensing?
heat given out
energy given out as particles bond together in the liquid
what are the main points of kinetic theory?
all matter is made of tiny, invisible, moving particles
the particles are constantly moving- the higher the temperature, the faster they move
heavier particles move more slowly than light ones at a given temperature
what is diffusion in chemistry?
the mixing of atoms or molecules due to their continuous and random motion
what is brownian motion?
the constant random movement of particles is caused by collision with air or water molecules which are themselves in continuous and random motion
what experiments are used to examine the motion of particles?
experiments using gases diffusing
what happens when ammonia and hydrochloric acid are put in a tube to investigate brownian motion?
ammonia moves further along the tube as the particles are lighter, so they move faster
what is an atom?
the smallest part of an element that can exist or take part in a chemical change
why do some elements form molecules?
in some gases, single atoms cannot exist on teir own at ordinary temperatures
what is an element?
a pure substance made up of only one type of atom
what is a compound?
a pure substance which contains 2+ elements that are chemically bonded together in a fixed proportion
what is a mixture?
a group of substances that aren’t chemically bonded together
what are the properties of a compound?
fixed properties
properties differ from those of the elements
cannot be separated into elements without a chemical reaction
there is usually an energy change when a compound is made from its elements
what are the properties of a mixture?
proportions may vary
properties are simply those of the separate elements
can be separated by a physical change (e.g. melting)
no energy change when the elements are mixed
what is a pure substance?
a substance that contains no other substances
how does the melting point change in an impure substance?
they will then melt at a lower range of temperatures rather than a higher fixed one
what separation technique is used for a solid and a liquid when the solid hasn’t been dissolved?
filtration
the liquid filtrate passes through and the undissolved solid residue stays on the paper
