fluids Flashcards
Changes of State
Changing from one state of matter to another. Physical changes because no new chemicals are made.
Turning from a solid to a liquid- occurs at melting point
Melting
Turning from a solid to a liquid- occurs at melting point
Freezing
Turning from a liquid to a solid- occurs at freezing point
Condensing
Turning from a gas into a liquid.
Sublimation
Turning from a solid to a gas.
Evaporation
Turning from a liquid into a gas. Can occur at the surface of a liquid at any temperature.
Boiling
When evaporation occurs within a liquid- occurs at the boiling point
Pure
A substance made up of a single type of atom or compound.
Pure Substances Changing State
Occurs at a set temperature.
The temperature stays constant when changing state as bonds are broken or made.
Mixtures Changing State
Occurs over a range of temperatures as it contains substances with different melting/boiling points.
Water
Contracts as it is cooled up until 4oc and then it expands slightly. Ice takes up more space than water and is less dense
