is anything that has mass and takes up spaceis classified into one of five states of matter Solid Liquid Gas Plasma BEC

Matter

This is used to classify anything into one of the four states of matter.

Kinetic Theory of Matter

All matter is composed of tiny particles.These particles are in constant motion. The amount of motion is proportional to

temperature. Increased temperature means increased particle motion.

Solids, liquids, and gases differ in the freedom of motion of their particles and the extent to which their particles interact.

Kinetic Theory of Matter

Particles that make up a solid are spaced very close together. The particles have only enough room to vibrate.Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume.Atoms in a solid are packed so tightly that they cannot move around.

Solids

Crystalline solid Particles are arranged in

repeating geometric patterns called crystals.

Amorphous solid

Particles are very close together, with no arrangement like glass, wax, plastic.

Two Types of Solids

According to the Kinetic Theory, particles that make up a liquid have more KE energy (due to higher temperature), thus more motion than a solid. Liquids particles can slide over and around one another. A liquid has no definite shape. However it has a definite volume.

Liquids

LiquidsBut why do liquids stay together?Forces of attraction keep the molecules together, such as in water.

According to the Kinetic Theory, gases have the greatest amount of KE, (due to the highest temp) . The particles have freedom to completely separate from one another. They will expand to fill the container they are in.

Gases

GasesGases have no definite shape and no definite volume.Gases will expand to fill the entire room or can be compressed into a small cylinder.

Draw a diagram of a solid, liquid, and gas. Please draw the particles and use arrows to show the motion of the particles in relationship to one another. Let’s watch a little video about the primary four states of matter.

The fourth state of matter is not made of atoms, like the previous three. A plasma is made of ions and free electrons. Let’s review a little…

Plasma

A plasma is different from all other matter because it is a ionized gas. A gas, made of atoms, is exposed to energy in the form of high temperature or electricity. The atoms then release their negative electrons, becoming positively charged, and light is given off. This mix of electrons and positive charged ions is a plasma.

Plasma

Ne atoms

Glass is filled with Neon gas (atoms). An electric current is run through the tube, exciting the gas. This releases the electrons and light is given off, forming a plasma.

BECThe Fifth State of Matter, the Bose-Einstein Condensate, occurs only at really low temperatures (-273° Celsius - 0°Kelvin)At this temperature, the atoms in a substance begin to move as one.

Imagine the gas particles inside the balloon.They are constantly exerting forceson the balloon by colliding with eachother and the sides of the balloonto keep it inflated. Pressure is the amount of force exerted over an area. Pressure is measured in kPa (kiloPascals)

Pressure

PressureCollisions between the particles of gas in a container and the sides of the container cause the particles to bounce around faster, and increase the pressure.The relationship between temperature, number of particles, and the volume of the container affect the pressure of a gas

• According to Boyle’s law, if you decrease the volume of a container of gas, the pressure of the gas will increase, provided the temperature doesn’t change.

• Increasing the volume will cause the pressure to drop.

• Boyle’s Law states an inverse relationship between pressure and volume.

P1V1 = P2V2

Boyle’s Law

States that the volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature (provided the pressure remains constant). As a gas is heated it’s particles move faster and faster and the temperature will increase.

Charles’ Law

Charles’ LawCharles noticed a straight-line graph during his experiments with gas volume and temperature.He extrapolated the line downward to see the point at which all the heat would be out of the gas, and reached 0°Kelvin. (-273.15° Celsius)No scientist has ever gotten this cold.

Combined Gas LawUsing algebra, we can combine Charles’s Law and Boyle’s Law to give us one equation for solving gas problems (not PeptoBismol)

P1V1 = P2V2

Practice Gas ProblemsA cylinder contains air at a pressure of 100kPa and has a volume of 0.75 L. If the pressure increased to 300 kPa, and the temperature does not change, what is the new volume?A gas at a temperature of 20°K has a pressure of 1.5 kPa. If the temperature is raised to 1,000,000°K, and the volume stays the same, what will the new pressure be?

Gas DemonstrationOrdinary air fills the plastic soda bottle. A balloon is affixed to make a seal. If I heat the bottle, will the balloon inflate or deflate?What if I heat the bottle upside down?

This occurs when a substance changes from one state to another. Energy transfer allows substances to change their state. Melting

Freezing Boiling

Vaporization or Evaporation

Condensation

Sublimation

Deposition

Changes in State

Changes in StateDuring a phase change, the temperature of the substance does not changeAccording to Einstein, matter cannot be created nor destroyed, and neither can energy. Energy is merely transferred during the change, and some is lost as heat.

Melting and FreezingMelting : change in state from a solid to a liquid

Freezing : change in state from a liquid to a solid

These processes will occur at the same temperature.

Water will freeze and melt at 00C.

VaporizationVaporization : general term for liquid to gas Evaporation: at any temperature, occurs only at the surface of the liquid Boiling: only occurs at one temperature specific to that liquid.

Vaporization

Condensation

• Condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes

• in contact with a surface at a lower temperature. Condensation can also occur if gas particles are compressed.

SublimationSublimation – is the transition of a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase.

Dry Ice = - 109 0F

Air Temp = 70 0F

Temp difference = 179 0F

Deposition

The reverse of sublimation, it is the process of going from a gas to a solid while skipping the liquid phase.

Phase ChangesPhase changes can either be endothermic (energy is entering the substance) or exothermic (energy is exiting the substance)A substance’s heat of fusion is determined by the amount of energy required to melt one gram of that materialThe amount of energy required to turn a substance from a liquid to a gas is called the heat of vaporization.

This is a line graph plotting temperature(y axis) versus time (x axis). Using the slope of the graph, you can determine the phase of matter at each temperature/time data point plotted. At this time you will be creating a phase change diagram. We will analyze it when you are finished.
