STATES OF MATTER Flashcards
Three Primary States of Matter
- Solid
- Liquid
- Gas
Mesophases
- Liquid crystalline state
- Supercritical fluids
- IM Forces is enough, but weaker than gasses
- has definite volume and shape
- dependent on the shape of the container
LIQUID
- greater kinetic energy than any molecules
- has no definite shape and volume
GAS
- impact and definite shape and size
- not dependent on the shape of the container
- molecules are locked in position
SOLID
Temperature – 0 degrees C or 273.13 K
Temperature
Addition of energy
heat
Gas molecules travel in random paths
THE GASEOUS STATE
Liquid to gas
evaporation
Solid to liquid
melting
force per unit area; recorded in atmospheres or in mm of mercury (mmHg)
Pressure
Gas to liquid
condensation
NH3 Critical temperature
132
Solid to gas
sublimation
Liquid to solid
freezing
A lot os space between the particles compared to the size of the particles themselves
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Gas to solid
deposition
Pressure is inversely proportional to volume
Boyle’s Law (PiV)
expressed in L or cubic centimeters
(1 cm3 = 1 mL)
Volume
The speed that the particles move increases with increasing temperature
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Ideal Gas Equation
PV = nRT
n = number of moles
R = Gas constant (0.0821 L. atm / mole K)
Pressure is directly proportional to Temperature
Gay-Lussac’s Law (PdT)
Gas constant
(0.0821 L. atm / mole K)
When there is a cooling or compression of gasses it will turn into liquid and vice versa.
Liquefaction of Gases
Volume is directly proportional to Temperature
Charle’s Law (VdT)
Collection of particles in constant motion
Kinetic Molecular Theory
the pressure required to liquify a gas at its critical temperature; highest vapor pressure that liquid can have;
Water’s CP = 218 atm
Critical Pressure
No attraction or repulsions between particles; collisions like billiard ball collisions
Kinetic Molecular Theory
CO2 Critical temperature
31.2
CO Critical temperature
-141
point where liquid does not exist
Critical point
NH3 Critical temperature
132
the temperature which a liquid can longer exist;
Water’s CT = 374 degrees C or 647 K
Critical Temperature
C2H6O (Ethanol) Critical temperature
216
C3H8 (Propane) Critical temperature
97
CH4 (Methane) Critical temperature
-82
H2O (Water) Critical temperature
37
SO2 (Sulfur dioxide) Critical temperature
157
CO Critical Pressure
35.9
C2H6O Critical Pressure
65
CH4 Critical Pressure
45.8
NH3 Critical Pressure
115
CO2 Critical Pressure
77
C3H8 Critical Pressure
42
SO2 Critical Pressure
77.8
H20 Critical Pressure
217.8
Depends on the cooling effect produced as gas expands using a Dewar or vacuum flask
Ideal gas expand rapidly and no heat enters system
Adiabatic expansion
