Kinetic Theory Flashcards
In which state do particles vibrate about a fixed position?
Solid
In which state do particles move around each other?
Liquid
In which state are the particles fairly close together?
Liquid
When are the particles the closest?
Solid
What is the process called when a solid changes to a gas?
Sublimation
What is the melting point of pure water?
0oC
What state is water at 25oC, 300oC and 100oC?
Liquid, Water vapour, Boiling
What state is a substance at room temperature if it melts at 15oC and boils at 37oC?
Liquid
What is a solution?
A type of mixture that is made when one substance dissolves and mixes fully with another
What is the solid that dissolves called?
Solute
What is the liquid called that does the dissolving?
Solvent
In which state will diffusion occur more quickly and why?
Gases, because the particles are moving at a higher speed
What is diffusion?
The random movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration
What happens when we increase a material’s temperature?
We increase the energy of its particles
When does evaporation take place?
When the particles in a liquid escape to form a vapour
