CC1+CC2 (States of matter and Separation techniques) Flashcards
What are the three states of matter
Solid, liquid and gas
What are the arrangement of particles in a gas
- Random
- Far apart
What are the arrangement of particles in a liquid
- Random
- Close together
What are the arrangement of particles in a solid
- Regular
- Close together
What are the movement of particles in a gas
- Fast in all directions
What are the movement of particles in a liquid
- Move around each other
What are the movement of particles in a solid
- Vibrate about fixed positions
What is changing state from solid to liquid called
Melting
What is changing state from solid to gas called
Sublimation
What is changing state from gas to liquid called
Condensing
What is changing state from liquid to gas called
Evaporating
What is changing state from liquid to solid called
Freezing
What is changing state from gas to solid called
Deposition
How do you predict a state of matter at a certain temperature
Given temperature < melting point =Solid
Given temperature is between melting and boiling points =Liquid
Given temperature > boiling point =Gas
This then allows you to then plot your temperature, bp and mp on a line and figure out which state of matter it is
Mercury at 20 degrees is what state of matter if it’s bp is 357 degrees and it’s mp is -39 degrees
Liquid
