Q

What does the kinetic theory of matter say?

A

All matter is composed of particles which have certain amount of energy which allows them to move at different speeds depending on the temperature.
There are spaces between the particles and attractive forces between particles when they come close together.

Q

Kinetic moleclar theory based on 6 points

A
  • matter consists of small particles
  • particles in constant state of motion
  • spaces between particles
  • are forces of attraction/ repulsion between particles
  • greater the temp more particles move
  • particles of different substances have different sizes and masses.

Q

Rate of diffusion depends on two factors

A

Mass of particles
(Lower the relative molecular mass of gas, the faster the gas will diffuse. )
Temperature of substance
(The higher the temperature of the gas, the faster the gas will diffuse)

Q

Evaportaion

A

Process where substance chnges from liquid to gas. Occurs on the surface of the liquid.

17
Q

Sublimation

A

Process where substance changes directly from solid to gas

18
Q

Depostion

A

Process where substance changes directly from gas ro solid

19
Q

Melting point

A

Temp at which substance changes from solid to liquid

20
Q

Freezing point

A

Temp at which substance changes from liquid to solid

21
Q

Boiling point

A

Temp at which substance changes from liquid to gas

22
Q

Melting and boiling points measured at …

A

Standard atmospheric pressure (STP)

23
Q

During change of stante…(3)

A

Kinetic energy remains the same and therefore temp remains contant
Change in the arrangement of particles
Potential energy increases or decreases

24
Q

Pressure

A

Amount of force exerted per unit area

25
Q

READ OVER HEATING CURVE PG.9

& COOLING CURVE PG.10

A
26
Q

How can we tell if a sunstance is pure by looking at the melting point

A

If the melting point is over a temperature range the substance is impure. Gradient = O if substance is pure.

27
Q

When we seperate crude oil we use …

A

Fractional disstilation

Least dense substances boil at lower temps while the denser subtances boil at higher temperatures

28
Q

Internal energy includes…

A

Kinetic energy, vibrational energy, rotational energy.

29
Q

Temperature

A

Measure of average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance

30
Q

Heat

A

Amount of energy transferred from one body to another spontaneously due to their temperature duffernece.
