48
Q

Studying temperature changes over a period of time ( what happens to a block of ice when you put a Bunsen underneath it): why do plateaus occur

A

The two flat regions (plateaus) occur because any heat energy put in is used to weaken the forces of attraction between the particles for some time (instead of heating the substance) so the overall temperature of the container does not increase.

49
Q

Studying temperature changes over a period of time ( what happens to a block of ice when you put a Bunsen underneath it):
Just like heating curves, cooling curves have horizontal flat parts where what happens

A

Where the state changes from the gas to liquid or from liquid to solid

50
Q

Studying temperature changes over a period of time ( what happens to a block of ice when you put a Bunsen underneath it):
What happens at the melting and boiling point

A

The temperature stays the same as energy goes into separating the particles

51
Q

Why do plateaus in cooling curves occur

A

Because any heat energy is given out as forces of attraction between the particles is set up, so the overall temp of the container does not decrease

52
Q

Dissolving and diffusion:

What is a solute

A

A solids that dissolves in a solvent

53
Q

Dissolving and diffusion:

What is a solvent

A

A liquid that dissolves in a solute

54
Q

Dissolving and diffusion:

57
Q

Dissolving and diffusion:

What happens when a solute dissolves

A

It does not disappear, the particles simply mixes with the particles of the solvent

58
Q

Dissolving and diffusion:

Is calcium carbonate soluble in water

A

No because the calcium carbonate and water particles are not able to mix

59
Q

Dissolving and diffusion:

Is copper sulphate soluble in water

A

Yes because copper sulphate and water particles are able to interact and mix together

60
Q

What can mass not be

A

Created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form into another

61
Q

Dissolving and diffusion:

What is diffusion

A

Diffusion is the random movement of particles, when particles diffuse, they spread out and mix with other particles

62
Q

Dissolving and diffusion:

Give an example of diffusion

A

the smell of perfume can be detected by people on the other side of a room because the perfume particles diffuse in the air

63
Q

What is the second definition of diffusion

A

Diffusion is the random movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The particles mix with other particles.

64
Q

Why do particles in liquids and gases diffuse easily

A

Because they are free to move around, however, it is possible for solids to diffuse as well

65
Q

Diffusion of bromine review

A

When the cover slip that separates the two gases is removed, the brown gas spreads to fill the two containers easily

66
Q

Why will particles of a gas diffuse faster

A

The gas particles are moving around faster than the particles in a liquid because they have more energy. This means that the gas particles will spread out more quickly.

67
Q

Expansion and contraction:

When we increase a materials temperatures what do we do to its particles

A

When we increase a material’s temperature, we increase the energy of its particles and the material will expand, regardless of whether it is a solid, a liquid or a gas

68
Q

Expansion and contraction:

Expansion in solids

A

COLD - particles are sitting at room temperature and vibrating side by side

HOT - when the solid is heated, the particles vibrate more vigorously and nudge each other out of the way. The structure physically becomes bigger

69
Q

Expansion and contraction:

Why do solids expand on heating

A

Solids expand on heating because the more heat energy there is in the solid, the faster its particles will vibrate and they push their neighbours further away.

70
Q

Expansion and contraction:

Give an example of a problem caused when materials (a bridge) which are expanding and contracting occur

A

Bridges expand in the summer heat and need special joints to stop them bending out of shape

71
Q

Expansion and contraction:

What happens to the particles in a liquid when they are heated

A

They move around each other more and take up more room.

72
Q

Expansion and contraction:

How does a thermometer work

A

By expansion and contraction of the liquid inside it

73
Q

It is important to remember that it is the spaces between the particles that change size during expansion and contraction, the particles remain the same size.
