Solids Liquids And Gas Flashcards
What is it called when Liquid changes to gas
Boiling
What is it called when gas changes to liquid?
Condensing
What is it called when a Solid changes to liquid
Melting
What is it called when Liquid changes to solid
Freezing
How do gas particles move if they are not evenly distributed
From areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration
What do air particles do that causes air pressure
They move randomly and exert a force
What can be compressed?
Gases
Properties of solids (5)
Fixed volume (at a fixed temperature) Fixed shape Cannot be squashed Does not flow High density (mass is greater then the same volume as other materials)
Properties of liquids (5)
Fixed volume (fixed temperature)
Not fixed shape (takes shape of bottom of container)
Cannot be Squashed
It can flow
Although dense, usually lower density then solids
Properties of gases (5)
Not fixed volume (at a fixed temperature)
Not fixed shape
Can be squashed
Flow- spread to fill container (from high conc to lower conc)
Very low density
What happens when you heat a gas?
What happens when you cool a gas?
Its volume increases (heated)
Its volume decreases (cold)
What are the 3 main types of mixtures
Solution
Suspension
Substances
What are colloids
They are substance mixtures
Although they appear to be a single component they are actually made up of a mixture of 2 separate things
They do not separate while standing
Any solid, liquid or gas combination gas the potential to produce a colloid.(except gas and gas which are totally mixable )
Example of liquid in gas colloid
Fog
Mist
Hairspray
Example of solid in gas colloid
Smoke
Cloud
Gas in liquid colloid
Whipped cream (air in cream) Shaving cream
