Chem Basics CHAP 3 Flashcards
States of Matter
Kinetic Theory
Matter is made up of atoms and molecules. These atoms and molecules act like tiny particles that are always in motion.
higher temp = faster movement
larger particles move slower
Plasma
A state of matter without a definite shape or volume. Made of free-moving ions and electrons.
99% of all matter (sun, stars)
Its particles are electrically charged - (lightning, fire, aurora borealis - natural)
Artificial plasma - glow of fluorescent or neon lights
Ionized particles are…
electrically charged
Kinetic Energy
the energy of MOTION
Energy
The ability to CHANGE or MOVE matter (do WORK)
food, electricity, candles, batteries are energy sources
True or False: Because they are in motion, ALL particles of matter have kinetic energy.
True
Temperature
the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object
Thermal Energy
TOTAL KE (kinetic energy) of a substance’s atoms
determined by particle speed (faster movement = higher temp) AND # of particles (ocean has higher TE even tho steam particles move faster-KE-in comparison)
True or False: Solids can conduct electricity and are affected by magnets. They need an energy source, like heat, an electric current, or strong light (laser) to exist.
False. Describes PLASMA.
Evaporation
Change of State - from a liquid to a gas
Sublimation
Change of State - from a Solid to a Gas
Change of State
Conversion of a substance from one physical form to another - caused by energy transfers
Does NOT alter the IDENTITY of a Substance
Temp is ____ during changes of state.
CONSTANT
____ and ____ are both conserved.
MASS; ENERGY
Neither can be created or destroyed.
Condensation
Change of State - from a gas to a liquid
Boiling Point
The temp at which a liquid boils.
a physical property
Melting Point
The temp at which a a solid turns liquid.
a physical property
Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass cannot be created or destroyed.
Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
The amount of force exerted on a given surface area.
Pressure
True or False: Fluids exert pressure evenly in all directions.
True
Fluids exert ____ evenly in ___ directions.
Pressure; ALL
How can Pressure be calculated?
Pressure = force/area or P = F/A
SI Unit of Pressure
Pascal (Pa)
1 = the force of one newton (N) exerted over an area of 1 m^2 (1 N/m^2)
