Q

Explain diffusion and give an example

A

Diffusion is the spreading out or movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration to create equilibrium
Example-a perfume/spray

Q

Name a liquid that can be found in all three states at normal temperatures.

A

Water in the ocean, in the polar ice, and in the air as water vapour.

17
Q

Example of solid to liquid and what it’s called

A

Melting- ice cubes into a liquid

18
Q

Example of gas to liquid what it’s called

A

Condensation- having a cold drink on a hot day as it “sweats”

19
Q

Example of liquid to solid what it’s called

A

Freezing-water yo ice cubes

20
Q

Example of solid to gas what it’s called

A

Sublimation-dry ice

21
Q

Name three substances that have a melting point greater than the comfortable room temperature

A

Aluminium-660
Iron-1535
Table salt-804

22
Q

What are the units of measurements for volumes of liquid?

A
1ml= 1cm3 
1l= 1000cm3 
1000l= 1m3
23
Q

When heat was applies to a metal ring why could the ball easily fir through. Particle model?

A

As the metal ring was heating the particles inside the solid was expanding. Allowing the particles to move faster create an increase in the distance between the particles and the attraction between the particles decreases causing the inner radius increased in size so the ball could fit through the ring easily

24
Q

Explain how particles behave when heated is applied.

A

When heat is applied to particles:

  • particles move faster
  • distance between particles increase
  • the attraction between the particles decreases
25
Q

Explain how particles behave when cooled

A

When heat is removed the particles contract:

  • particles move more slowly
  • distance between particles gets smaller
  • the attraction between the particles increase
26
Q

Explain how clouds are formed

A

Clouds are formed by tiny droplets of water, kept up by air currents.

27
Q

Inter particle space

A

The space between the particles within a solid liquid or gas

28
Q

What is the core temperature of the human body?

A

36-37

29
Q

Diffusion

A

The spreading of one substance through another due to the movement of their particles
