Q

The temperature of the liquid in the container decreases as the liquid evaporates. Use kinetic theory to explain why

A

The particles with the most energy are able to break the bonds holding them in place and leave the surface of the liquid, taking the energy with them.

This causes the internal energy of the remaining particles to decrease leading to a decrease in temperature

(evaporation by cooling)
vaporisation = evaporation

Q

Explain how the windows in a bus full of people mist up
or what happens when water vapour condenses on a cold surface

A

Condensation

When the particles in a vapour, make contact with the cold surface, the particles transfer heat energy to the cold surface by conduction.

The internal energy of the vapour particles decreases, causing them to come together

The vapour will therefore turn from a gaseous state to a liquid

Q

How can the process of evaporation be sped up

A

Increasing the surface area of the liquid
Creating a draft of air across the surface of the liquid. (blowing across the air)

Q

Explain how increasing the surface area of a liquid speeds up the process of evaporation

A

If the surface area is increased, then a greater amount is of liquid (particles) will be exposed to the air is larger. Therefore more particles can leave the surface of the liquid

Q

Explain how creating a draft of air across the surface of the liquid speeds up the process of evaporation

A

By creating a draft of air across the surface of the liquid, particles will be carried away from the surface of the liquid.

Q

What are melting, boiling and condensation examples of

A

Melting, boiling and condensing are examples of physical changes (same substance, just arranged differently)

17
Q

Complete the sentence
When the temperature of the substance is increased, the particles _______

A

When the temperature of the substance is increased, the particles move faster

18
Q

Describe the kinetic theory of matter of a solid

A

The particles in a solid are held next to each other in fixed positions. They vibrate about their fixed positions, so the solid keeps its own shape

19
Q

Describe the kinetic theory of matter of a liquid

A

The particles in a liquid are in contact with each other.
They move about at random.
So a liquid does not have its own shape and it can flow.

20
Q

Describe the kinetic theory of matter of a gas

A

The particles in a gas move about at random much faster than they do in a liquid.
They are, on average, much further apart from each other than the particles of in a liquid. So the density of a gas is much less than that of a solid or a liquid.

21
Q

The particles in solids, liquids and gases have different amounts of energy.

The particles in a gas have _________ than those in a liquid, which have more ______ than those in a solid

A

The particles in solids, liquids and gases have different amounts of energy.

The particles in a gas have more energy than those in a liquid, which have more energy than those in a gas

22
Q

Why are changes of state examples of physical changes?

A

Changes of state are examples of physical changes because no new substances are produced.

23
Q

Explain in detail why 1kg of a solid has a smaller volume than 1kg of a gas (4 marks)
Explain in detail why 1kg of a gas has a much larger volume than 1kg of a solid
Use kinetic theory to explain why.

A

The particles in a solid are much closer together than a gas
This is due to:
The bonds between the particles are stronger
The particles in a solid have less energy
The particles in a solid do not move but vibrate in a fixed position
