P1-Changes of state

?
Describe the particle movement in a solid
Solids have a fixed shape and regular pattern. Particles are packed together therefore the particles vibrate more. Particles vibrate much faster around a fixed point.
1 of 23
Describe the particle movement in a liquid.
In liquids, particles have more space to roam around as they aren't as tightly packed. The particles flow in a liquid.
2 of 23
Describe the particle movement in a gas.
Particles have a lot more space and no particular pattern;move randomly and quickly.
3 of 23
Name the changes of state of a solid to liquid, solid to gas and liquid to gas. Do they gain or lose energy?
Solid to liquid=Melting. Solid to gas=Sublimating Liquid to gas=Evaporating. Need the material to gain energy.
4 of 23
Name the changes of state between a gas to a liquid and a liquid to a solid. Do they lose or gain energy?
Gas to liquid=condensation Liquid to solid= Freezing/Solidifying Material loses energy.
5 of 23
What type of change are changes of state? Physical or chemical?
Physical change-they are reversible.
6 of 23
What's the difference between a chemical and physical change?
Chemical changes are irreversible whereas physical changes are reversible.

What is the kinetic molecular theory?*
An increase in the number of gas particles in the container increases the frequency of collisions with the walls and therefore the pressure of the gas
8 of 23
Where does evaporation and boiling occur?*
Evaporation: Surface of a liquid only Boiling:Throughout the liquid
9 of 23
How is energy needed in evaporation?*
Particles on the surface of the liquid gain energy to change state. Takes in energy from the surrounding area.
10 of 23
How is energy needed in boiling?*
For the substance to reach it's boiling point.
11 of 23
How is temperature affected in evaporation?*
It does not need to reach it's boiling point-causes cooling.
12 of 23
How is temperature affected in boiling?*
Temperature remains constant.

What is the law of conservation?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.
14 of 23
What is specific heat capacity?
The amount of energy(J) needed to increase the temperature of a substance by 1°C.
15 of 23
What is the equation of Specific heat capacity?
E=m x c x θ (E=Energy, m=mass(kg), c=specific heat capacity(J/kg°C), θ=change in temperature(°C))
16 of 23
What is Specific Latent Heat?
How much heat energy required to melt or boil a substance.
17 of 23
What is the equation of specific latent heat?
Energy (J) = mass (kg) x Specific latent heat (kJ/kg)
18 of 23
Pressure in a gas-Example
E.g pressure in a balloon increases with the amount of energy being pumped into it. The n.o of particles increases, resulting in collision. They also collide with the walls of the ballon, producing a force.
19 of 23
What is pressure measured in?
Pascals (Pa) or N/m^2
20 of 23
Ways to affect pressure-increase temperature
As you increase the temperature, the pressure increases. Particles gain energy from the heat, causing them to collide and increase the pressure.
21 of 23
Ways to affect pressure-Decrease volume
As you decrease the volume, the pressure increases due to the packed space. It increases the pressure as the small space produces a force against the walls.
22 of 23
Ways to affect pressure-More particles in the same volume
The more particles in the same volume, the bigger the risk of collision. Increases pressure and collision of particles.
