Kinetic Particle Model of Matter Flashcards
What are the states of matter?
- Solid
- Liquid
- Gas
Properties of Solids:
- Fixed Shape, FIxed Volume
- Packed tightly together
- Vibrates at place
- High Desnity
- Cannot Flow
- Incompressible
Properties of Gases:
- Fast-Moving Particles
- Compressible
- No fixed shape and volume
- Takes container’s shape
- low density
Properties of Liquids:
- Incompressible
- No fixed shape, fixed volume
- High density
- can flow and take shape of container
Kinetic Particle Models
What happens when the temperature increases?
Object Heated → Average KE increases → Particles Move Faster
What happens when temperatures decreases?
Object Cooled → KE decreases → Particles move more slowly
What is the evidence for the Kinetic Particle Model of Matter?
Brownian Motion
What is Brownian Motion?
It is the random movement of microscopic particles (pollen grains, smoke particles) in a fluid due to collisions by the molecules of the fluid.
How do Gases exert Pressure?
Gas particles move randomly, pressure is created in their collision with a container’s walls - creating force during the collision.
How does the pressure of gas vary with its temperature?
Pressure is directly proportional to Temperature.
P = KT
How does the pressure of a goas vary with its volume?
Pressure is inversely proportional to volume.
P = 1/V or PV = K
If the temperature doesn’t change,
p1V1 = p2V2
