RSRS Flashcards
What are 3 states of matter?
- Solids
- Liquids
- Gases
characteristics of solids?
- structured internal order
- retains its shape
- doesn’t confirm to surroundings easily
- van der waals’ force
Characteristics of liquids
- take the shape of the container
- cohesive forces
Characteristics of gases
- posses complete molecular mobility
- no definite shape
- weak collision forces
- can be readily expanded or compressed
What are the critical moment when one state of matter change to another?
Melting point
- solid to liquid , e.g. ice to water
Freezing point
- liquid to solid , e.g. water to ice
Boiling point
- liquid to gas , e.g. water to steam vapor
What are the process of different changes in the state of matter?
Sublimation
- solid to gas , e.g. dry ice to CO2 vapour
Evaporation
- liquid to vapour, e.g. H2o to humidity
Condensation
- vapour to liquid , e.g. humidity to H2o
What is the dew point?
- the temperature below at which water begin to condense and form dew
What is the definition of critical pressure?
- pressure required to convert gas to liquid at its critical temperature
What is the definition of critical temperature?
- the temperature above at which as gas cannot be converted back to a liquid
- regardless of its critical pressure
What is the definition of vapour pressure?
- the pressure exerted by gas molecules as they evaporate
- changes with temperature
What are 2 types of energy in a state of matter?
- positional or potential energy or pressure
- kinetic energy
What happen when gas molecule collide with solid or liquid?
- a force is exerted on the solid or liquid
F = m(kg)a(m/s2) - a force acting on a surface creates pressure
P = F/A
Which 2 physical factor help molecule to move apart?
- temperature
2. pressure
What is the definition of temperature?
- the measurement of the average kinetic potential & kinetic energy of molecules of a substance
What are the units of temperature? example?
- F, C, K
- 0 C = 273 K
- 0 k = absolute zero
What is the definition of pressure?
- a force exerted against a resistance
What is the equation for Pascal?
Newton (N) /m2
What are the 2 ways that pressure is measured?
1) Height exerted by a fluid within a column
- -> H2O manometer, Hg barometer
2) weight per unit of area
- ->lb/square inch (PSI)
- ->N/m2 (pascal)
Definition of density?
mass of substance per unit volume occupy
(rho) p = m/v
What is the relationship between density and pressure?
P = F/A = mg/A
p= m/v
mg/a x h/h –> mgh/v
P = pgh
What is the equation for gas density calculation?
p = gram molecular weight / 22.4L ( the volume of 1 mole of gas occupy at STPD
What are the units of pressure
1 atm = 14.7psi
- -> 760mmhg or torr
- -> 1.013 x 10^5 pascals
- –>1.013 x 10^3 kilopascal
- –>1013.25 millibars
- –>1034 cm H2o
What are the types of pressure?
absolute pressure = total pressure of a system
Atm pressure = barometric pressure
Gauge = pressure other than atm pressure
Absolute pressure = atm + guage
What does RT pressure devices measure?
absolute, atm and or guage pressure
