Mix and Flow of Matter Flashcards
1
Q

The thing you change in an experiment, only 1 in an experiment
2
Q
What is a dependent variable?

What you are measuring as a result of your experiment?
3
Q
What is a control?
A
The standard or thing you use to compare to the other results, what is normal?
4
Q
What is a constant?
A
The things that stay the same, many in an experiment
5
Q
What is a fluid?
A
A substance that has no fixed shape and yields easily to external pressure (gives into forces)
6
Q
How to classify a fluid
A
Takes the shape of the container and can flow, is a moving thing
7
Q
Where are the particles in a gas?
A
Very far apart
8
Q
What do gases do when contained in a container?
A
They completely fill the shape of the container
9
Q
How are gases affected by gravity?
A
Gases do not flow with gravity, because they are not clustered or packed. So, gases move in all directions.
10
Q
What happens to the particles in a liquid?
A
The energy is strong enough to pull away from other particles, the particles slide around
11
Q
What do liquids do when contained in a container?
A
They take the shape of the container, but they keep their volume
12
Q
How are liquids affected by gravity?
A
Liquids flow with gravity because their particles are clustered together enough
13
Q
What happens to the particles in a solid?
A
The particles are tightly packed, they cannot move around, only vibrate
14
Q
What do solids do when contained in a container?
A
They do not take the shape of the container, they keep their own volume and shape, they hold their shape
15
Q
What does the Particle Model state?
A
- All substances are made of tiny particles
- All particles in a pure substance are the same. Different pure substances are made of different particles.
- Particles have space between them.
- Particles are always in motion-vibrating, rotating, and in liquids and gases, moving from place to place. The speed of the particles increases when the temperature increases, while the particles decrease when the temperature decreases.
The particles in a substance are attracted to one another. The strength of the attractive force depends on the type of particle.
16
Q
What happens if you heat a substance?
A
It will change states, melting, vapourization, sublimation, and the particles in the substance gain energy.
17
Q
What happens when you cool a substance?
A
It changes states, freezing, sublimation, condensation, and the particles in the substance lose energy.
18
Q

49
How does the "Desert Tent" for distillation work?
The water in the middle pan with unpure water gets heat from the sun causing the water to evaporate. When the rising water vapour comes in contact with the cooler plastic sheets, it condenses. The drops of water run down the plastic into containers that now contain pure water.
