1. Chapter 16 Solids, Liquids, and Gasses

2. Kinetic theory Three assumptions of the Kinetic Theory 1)All matter is composed of small particles. (atoms, molecules, and ions) 2)These particles are in constant, random motion. 3)These particles are colliding with each other and the walls of their container.

3. Thermal Energy You have a bowl of HOT soup. To cool it off you might drop a cube of ice in the soup. Does the ice cube appear to move? The molecules in the ice cube are in constant motion. The more thermal energy… the more motion. All matter is in motion at a molecular level.

4. Average Kinetic Energy Temperature is the term used to explain how hot or cold an object is. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of a substance. Molecules of water will move slower at 0* C than at 100* C. The faster molecules are moving the warmer the substance will be. At -273.15 * C (0 kelvin) no more kinectic energy can be removed from a substance (absolute zero)

5. Solid State An ice cube is an example of a solid. Solids have a definite shape and volume. The particles of a solid are packed closely together. Most solid materials have a specific geometric arrangement in which their molecules or atoms form when they are cooled from a liquid. Physical and chemical properties can often be attributed to this geometric arrangement.

6. Liquid State What happens to a solid when thermal energy (heat) is added to it? The particles of the solid start to move faster. The faster the particles move the farther apart they become. Soon the particles have enough energy to overcome the attractive forces that keep them close together and they move away from each other. Now the solid melts into a liquid.

7. Melting Point- the temp at which a solid begins to melt or liquify. Heat of Fusion- the amount of energy needed to change an substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase at its melting point. Liquids have no definite shape but have a definite volume. The particles in a liquid are further apart and move faster than in solids of the same substances.

8. Gas State Gasses do not have a fixed volume or shape. They can be compressed into whatever shape or volume the container they are in assumes. How does a liquid become a gas? Vaporization Vaporization can occur in two ways: evaporation and boiling. Evaporation occurs at the liquid’s surface and can happen below the liquids boiling point.

9. Boiling point The second way a liquid can vaporize is by boiling. Unlike evaporation, boiling takes place throughout the liquid. Boiling point- the temp at which the pressure of the vapor in the liquid is equal to the external pressure acting on the surface of the liquid. Heat of vaporization is the amount of energy required for the liquid at its boiling point to become a gas.

10. Diffusion- is the spreading of particles throughout a given volume until they are uniformly distributed. Diffusion occurs in solids and liquids but occurs most rapidly in gasses. If someone sprays perfume in the classroom, very soon most of the class can smell it no matter where they are. Why? Because the average oxygen molecule is traveling at 1053 mph This is why diffusion is fastest in gasses.

11. Gasses will distribute themselves evenly in any container no matter how large or small. Plasma is the most common state of matter in the universe.

12. Thermal Expansion The kinetic theory is used to explain the behavior of particles in different states of matter. But it can also explain other characteristics of matter. Have you noticed the gaps in a side walk or bridge? These are called expansion gaps or joints. When concrete absorbes heat, it expands. This is because the molecules are moving faster and get farther apart.

13. Thermal Expansion- an increase in the size of a substance when the temperature is increased. Expansion in liquids Thermal expansion takes place inside a thermometer. Expansion in gasses Hot air balloons Demonstration: thermal exspansion rings and bimetal strip

14. Behavior of Water Water is the only exception to thermal expansion. Because water is a polar compound it has a positive side and a negative side. This means that as water freezes the molecules line up to where there are only positives close to negatives. This allows spaces to reamain in the ice as it freezes. This is why water expands when it freezes instead of contracts like most other subsances.

15. Amorphous Solids Ice melts at 0*C, gold melts at 1064*C and lead melts at 327*C. But not all solids have a definite melting point. They just start to soften and turn into a liquid over a range of temps. These are called amorphous solids (without form) This is due to them not having a crystal structure. Two familiar amorphous solids: glass and plastic

16. Liquid Crystals Normally the geometric arrangement of a solid is lost when the substance goes from the solid state to a liquid state. Liquid crystals start to flow during the melting phase but do not lose their ordered arrangement completely. They retain their geometric order in specific directions. They are highly responsive to temp changes and electric fields. Liquid crystal displays (LCD) watches, calculators, and clocks.

18. How do ships float? Aircraft carriers are huge and weigh thousands of tons. Aircraft carriers are huge and weigh thousands of tons. So how do they float in the water? So how do they float in the water? There is a force pushing up on the ship that is greater than the downward force that gravity has on the ship. There is a force pushing up on the ship that is greater than the downward force that gravity has on the ship. Buoyancy- the ability of a fluid (liquid or gas) to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it. Buoyancy- the ability of a fluid (liquid or gas) to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it. If the buoyant force is greater than or equal to the weight, the object will float. If it is less than the objects weight, it will sink. If the buoyant force is greater than or equal to the weight, the object will float. If it is less than the objects weight, it will sink.

19. Archimedes’ Principle Archimedes’ Principle- the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Archimedes’ Principle- the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If you place a block of wood in a bowl of water it will push water out of the way as it sinks. But only until the weight of the water displaced equals the weight of the block of wood. If you place a block of wood in a bowl of water it will push water out of the way as it sinks. But only until the weight of the water displaced equals the weight of the block of wood.

24. Fluid Flow Another property exhibited by fluids is their tendency to flow. Another property exhibited by fluids is their tendency to flow. Viscosity- a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity- a fluid’s resistance to flow. The lower a fluid’s viscosity, the easier it flows. The lower a fluid’s viscosity, the easier it flows. The higher the viscosity, the slower it flows. The higher the viscosity, the slower it flows. Fluids vary in their tendency to flow because their structures differ. Fluids vary in their tendency to flow because their structures differ. When a container is tilted to allow flow to begin the flowing particles will transfer energy to the particles that aren’t moving.

28. Section 3 Behavior of gasses

29. Pressure = particle collisions You learned from the kinetic theory that gas particles are constantly moving and colliding with anything in their path. The collisions of air particles result in atmospheric pressure. Pressure- the amount of force per unit of area or P = F/A The SI unit of pressure is called the pascal (Pa) One pascal = one newton per square meter 1 N/m^2

30. A pascal is a very small unit so we usually give most pressures in kilopascals (kPa). Or 1000 pascals. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa The means 101,300 N on every square meter (about the weight of a large truck) When we contain a gas in a container like a tire or balloon, they expand because of all the collisions of the air particles with the walls of the container. If you pump more air into the balloon there are more collisions pushing on the walls of the balloon and that makes it expand.

31. If you pump more air into something that cannot expand, like an air tank, the increased air particles still slam into the walls but now instead of expanding the container, you increase the pressure inside the container.

32. Boyle’s Law What happens if the amount of gas stays the same but you decrease the size of the container? You know that the pressure of a gas depends on how often the particles strike the walls of their container. If you squeeze the gas into a smaller container the particles will strike the walls more often. This means the pressure will be increased.

33. Boyle’s Law Boyle’s Law- if you decrease the size of the container while the temp remains constant, the pressure will increase. So an increase in the size of the container while temp is constant will do what to the pressure? Decrease. Weather balloons are a perfect example. P 1 V 1 = constant = P 2 V 2

34. Pressure-Temperature Law You’ve seen the label keep away from heat on spray cans. What happens if you heat an closed container? Because the can can’t expand, the pressure increases. If the pressure increases to a point where the can can’t contain the pressure it will explode.

35. Charles’s Law If you’ve watched hot-air balloons being inflated you know that gasses expand when they’re heated. Because particles in the hot air are farther apart than the particles in the cool air. Charles’s Law- as the temp of a gas increases the volume increases if the pressure remains constant. if the temp increases but the volume remains constant what will happen? The pressure will increase.
