particle model of matter Flashcards
what does the particle model help show
explains how the particles at each stage behave
what are the forces of attraction in liquids
weak
why are solids fixed
they have strong forces of attraction
what happens when a gas is heated
pressure increases/container expands
what happens at each stage from gas to liquid to solid
strength of bonds / density increase
what is density measured in
g per cm3
density practical
find mass of object using mass balance
if it is regular find volume by finding lwh
if it is irregular use eureka can filled with water up to outlet with an empty measuring cylinder aligned underneath the outlet
the volume of the object will flow into the measuring cylinder
insert values into the equation
what can we do to reduce the uncertainty of density experiments
take multiple measurements and calculate a mean
When measuring the density of liquids, use a larger volume of liquid
on a graph of melting and boiling point over time why is there no temp increase at the certain melting and boiling points
the energy is being applied to the objects potential stores(forces holding particles together)
why is the temp constant when cooling
when changing state new bonds are being formed which releases energy which is what counteracts cooling keeping temp constant
what is the latent heat
the amount of energy needed to change state of substance while temp stays constant
what is the spec latent heat
energy required to change 1 kg of a substance from 1 state to another without changing temp
for cooling what is the spec latent heat
energy released by change in state
what are the 2 types of slh
vapourisation-energy change when substance changes from liquid to gas(evaporates or condenses)
fusion-energy change when substance changes between solid and liquid(melts or freezes)
slh of fusion and vapourisation when cooling would be
the amount of energy released instead of required
