States of Matter

Matter Anything that takes up

space and has mass Composed of tiny particles What are they called????????

Three states of matter: Solid, liquid, gas

Plasma is the fourth state Occurs only at very high

temperatures and is not common on Earth

Movement of Particles Atoms are always moving in matter They move faster when they have more

kinetic energy (energy of movement) and slower when they have less kinetic energy

More heat = More energy

Solids Matter with definite shape and

volume because particles are packed closely together and merely vibrate in place

Very little kinetic energy in particles

So they move very slowly Particles of solids arranged in

one of 2 ways: Crystals - arranged in

repeating, 3-D patterns Amorphous - have random

arrangement

Liquids

Matter with a definite volume but no definite shape Particles move more freely than those of a solid

Particles have more kinetic energy than particles in solid

So they are moving faster than in a solid Viscosity is a liquids resistance to flow

Increases when particles are more strongly attracted to each other

Surface Tension is the tendency of molecules of a liquid to stick together Due to uneven forces acting on particles

Gasses Matter that does not have a

definite shape or volume Diffusion is the movement of

particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

If you spray cologne, the smell will eventually spread out.

Gas particles spread out evenly and as far apart as possible

They will fill a container. Most kinetic energy

So they are moving the fastest

Section 1 Review1. Define matter in your own words and give

three things containing matter.2. Describe the movement of particles within

solids, liquids, and gases. 3. Why do liquids flow? 4. A scientist places 25 mL of a yellow substance

into a 50-mL container. The substance quickly fills the entire container. In which state of matter is the substance? Why?

5. Two of the three common states of matter can be grouped together. Which two states share a similar property? Explain.

Changes of State Particles are in constant motion

Amount of movement depends on their kinetic energy (energy of movement)

Thermal energy is the total energy of all the particles in a sample of matter

Temperature is the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance

Heat is the movement of thermal energy from a substance with a higher temperature to one with a lower temperature

Changes of State Specific Heat is the

amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance 1°C

For example, the specific heat of water is equal to one calorie

Changes of State Matter can change states as energy is absorbed or released A change from the solid to the liquid state is called melting

Is energy absorbed or released? What happens to the particles?

A change from the liquid to the solid state is called freezing?

Is energy absorbed or released? What happens to the particles?

Changes of State A change from liquid to gas is called

vaporization Boiling is vaporization which occurs below

the liquid’s surface at its boiling point Evaporation is vaporization which occurs

at the surface of a liquid Molecules must be at or near the surface at

the right speed to evaporate What about energy? What about particles?

Changes of State Condensation is a

change from a gas to a liquid What about energy? What about particles?

During sublimation, the surface particles of a solid gain enough energy to become a gas.

Pressure

Pressure equals the force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted Pressure(P) = Force(F) / Area(A)

If force increases over an area, the pressure increases

If force over an area decreases, the pressure decreases

Section 2 Review1. How are thermal energy and temperature

similar? How are they different? 2. How does a change in thermal energy cause

matter to change from one state to another?3. During which three changes of state is energy

absorbed?4. What are two types of vaporization?5. Do particles of gold move faster in the liquid or

the solid state? Liquid or gas? 6. How can the temperature of a substance

remain the same even if the substance is absorbing thermal energy?

Pressure Atmospheric pressure is

the air that presses down on the Earth with force

Pressure can be balanced as the pressure pushing down equals the pressure pushing up

As altitude increases, air pressure decreases That’s why it’s colder

at higher altitudes

Gas Pressure in Containers Gas pressures in a closed container

changes with volume and temperature changes

Decreasing volume increases pressure Increasing volume decreases pressure Increasing temperature increases

pressure Decreasing temperature decreases

pressure

Boyle’s Law At a constant

temperature, pressure times volume is a constant

They are inversely related (as one goes up, the other goes down)

Charles and Gay-Lussac’s Law

At a constant pressure, Volume = a constant times temperature

Volume and temperature are directly proportional (as one goes up, the other goes up)

The Ideal Gas Law Charles’ and Boyle’s Law

Combined pV=nRT (n and R are constants)

Pressure x Volume is proportional to Temperature pV~T

Buoyant Force

An upward force on an object immersed in a fluid

Archimedes’ principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object If a boat displaces 10,000 N of water, then

the buoyant force upward from the water will be 10,000 N (it will seem 10,000 N lighter)

Density

Density is mass divided by volume D = M/V It’s all about the love

An object will float in a fluid that is denser than the object

An object with the same density as the fluid will stay the same level in the fluid

An object will sink in a fluid that is less dense than the object

Density and States of Matter Which is more dense: ice, liquid water, or

water vapor? As particles of water get more energy (from

heat), they move faster and spread apart more. As particles move faster, they spread apart

and become less dense. Where is the air the least dense? Why? The air particles are farther apart at high

altitudes and are less dense (due to pull of gravity)

Pascal’s Principle When a force is applied to a confined

fluid, an increase in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid

Hydraulic systems allow people to lift heavy objects with relatively little force

When squeezed, liquids will be pushed out of a force pump, a closed container with a hole in it.

Section 3 Review1. What happens to pressure as the force exerted on a

given area increases?2. How does atmospheric pressure change as altitude

increases? How does density change?3. An object floats in a fluid. What do you know about the

buoyant force on the object? How does the density of the object compare with the density of the fluid?

4. Why does wood float in water? 5. Which is more dense: the crust of the Earth or the

oceans? 6. What would the Earth look like if the oceans were more

dense than the crust? 7. All of the air is removed from a sealed metal can. After

the air has been removed, the can looks as if it were crushed. Why?
