Kinetic Energy and Phase Changes
2
Diffusion Diffusion is the process by which molecules will move randomly in order to fill the space that they are in
3
Rate of Diffusion How fast diffusion occurs depends on the kinetic energy of the particles – High kinetic energy = Diffusion occurs quickly – Low kinetic energy = Diffusion occurs slowly **Think back to the demonstration we did with the hot and cold water with food coloring. In which beaker did the food coloring spread out the fastest?
4
Phase Changes Melting – Solid liquid – The kinetic energy of the particles that make up the solid is increased This causes the particles to move around more -- What do you think causes the increase in kinetic energy? Melting point: temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid
5
Phase Changes Evaporation – Liquid gas – The molecules in a liquid become excited enough, or move around enough, that some of them can escape from the surface of the liquid and become a gas – Do you think this occurs faster on a hot day or a cold day? Boiling point: the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas
6
Phase Changes Condensation – Gas liquid – Gas particles slow down and get close enough to each other that they form a liquid – Due to a decrease in kinetic energy – Would this be more likely to occur when it gets very hot or very cold? Why?
7
Phase Changes Freezing – Liquid solid – The particles that make up the liquid slow down enough that they form a solid – What would cause the particles to slow down?
8
Phase Changes Sublimation – Solid Gas – Ex/ Dry ice
