States of matter and diffusion Flashcards
Describe the attractive forces in a gas
very low or negligible
What would you observe while a substance such as potassium permanganate (crystal) diffuses through water in a beaker
The darker more intense purple colour is found near the crystal at first. After some time the colour is more pale and uniform throughout the water.
Describe the attractive forces in a liquid
medium
Describe the relative energy of particles in a liquid
moderate
What state is water at 120°C?
gas
boiling point of water is 100°C
What is the name of the process shown in the image below?
What would you observe during this process?
Diffusion
Colour is now uniform throughout and more pale
Sarah sprayed some perfume in the corner of the room and Tony could smell it on the other side of the room about 3 minutes later.
What is the name of this process?
Diffusion
Name the change of state- gas to liquid
condensation
Describe the particle movement in a liquid
slipping past each other
What is the valency of a hydrogen ion?
H 1+
Explain why this happens?
Both the ammonia and hydrogen chloride particles diffuse across the tube
The ammonia particles are less massive and diffuse faster
The hydrogen chloride particles are more massive and diffuse more slowly
They meet closer to the hydrogen chloride side and form ammonium chloride- a white cloud forms.
Name the change of state- liquid to gas
evaporation
Why does a substance diffuse?
Many tiny invisible particles in the air collide with larger particles. These larger particles move through the air in a random motion from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
What state is water at -60 degrees Celsius
solid
Describe the particle arrangement of a liquid
irregular arrangement, close together
Describe the relative energy of particles in a solid
low
Name the change of state- solid to gas
sublimation
Describe the particle movement in a solid
vibrating in fixed positions
