Q

Under what conditions are plasma formed?

A

when it is heated to such a high temperature that the atoms within the gas collide with each other so vigourously that electrons are ripped free. It could also happen when a gas is subject to a strong electromagnetic field

Q

Is plasma negatively or positively charged?

A

Plasma is negatively charged often but in some rare cases the electrons attaches to another atom and the plasma consists of both positively and negatively charged atoms

Q

SI Unit for temperature

A

Kelvin (K)

19
Q

What is absolute zero

A

The average kinetic energy of particles is zero. Absolute zero is -273.15 ◦C, or a zero on the Kelvin scale.

20
Q

What happens to the temperature of ice as it transitions to steam.

A

As energy is added to the particles and the gain kinetic energy and begin to speed up, the temperature begins to increase. However, the temperature of the water hits a plateau as it’s transitioning between phases, energy is needed to break the bonds and overcome the attraction between particles.

21
Q

What is melting

A

transition from solid to liquid

22
Q

What is freezing

A

transition from liquid to solid

23
Q

What is vaporization

A

Transition between liquid to gas at a point greater than the boiling point

24
Q

Evaporation

A

Transition between liquid to gas at a point below the boiling point.

25
Boiling
Bringing a liquid to the point it bubbles and turns to vapour
26
Condensation
Transition from gas to liquid
27
Sublimation
When a solid turns to a gas without going through the liquid phase.
28
Deposition
When a gas turns to a solid without going through the liquid phase.
29
What reactions can attain equilibrium?
Reactions that can go either way can. As long as there is nothing escaping the system (e.g. gas evaporating), it can attain equilibrium.
30
electrostatic forces
when there are negative and positive charges within the substance
31
Define equilibrium
the state at which the rate of the reaction is equal between the forward and reverse reaction
32
3 properties of plasma
* contain ions and electrons which means that it can conduct electricity. * Has variable shape (does vary or change) * Contains neutral atoms as well as ions and electrons, both move around freely.
33
Average kinetic energy of particles at absolute zero
Zero.
34
Define absolute zero
Temperature at which a gas has assumed a volume of zero and the particles have stopped moving.
35
Explain the lack of temperature increase during phase changes.
However, the temperature of the water hits a plateau as it's transitioning between phases, energy is needed to break the bonds and overcome the attraction between particles.
36
Are melting and boiling endo or exothermic processes?
Energy must be transferred to the water from the surroundings to bring these changes of state so they are endothermic.
37
How can you tell if something is a reversible reaction?
IF the reaction can go either way, it is a reversible reaction.
38
Specific heat capacity definition
it is the amount of energy that must be added, in the form of heat, to one unit of mass of the substance in order to cause an increase of one unit in its temperature.
39
Electronegativity definition
means it has the ability to attract electrons towards itself
40
What are the two elements in water
The two elements in it are hydrogen and oxygen.
41
Atom definition
smallest particles of matter that take part in a chemical reactions.
42
Elements definition
any substance that contains only one type of atom
43
Compound definition
elements combine in a fixed ratio to create
44
What are reactions?
bonds breaking and new bonds are formed.
