Kinetic Theory Simulation
States of matter Solid Liquid Gas Plasma
2
Kinetic Theory Explains how particles in matter behave
All matter is composed of small particles Particles are in constant, random motion Particles collide with each other and walls of their containers
3
Solid State Particles are closely packed together in a specific type of geometric arrangement -Particles vibrate in place - Solids have a definite shape and volume
4
Liquid State A solid begins to liquefy at the melting point as the particles gain enough energy to overcome their ordered arrangement Energy required to reach the melting point is called heat of fusion Liquid particles have more space between them, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container No definite shape but a definite volume
5
Gas State A liquid’s particles have enough energy to escape the attractive forces of the other particles in the liquid At the boiling point, the pressure of a liquid’s vapor is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere, and the liquid becomes a gas Gas particles spread evenly throughout their container in the process of diffusion Have no definite shape or volume Simulation
6
Heating Curve of a Liquid
As a solid melts and a liquid vaporizes, the temperature remains constant The temperature will increase after the attractive forces of the earlier state have been overcome
7
Plasma State of matter consisting of high temperature gases with balanced positively and negatively charged particles
8
Thermal Expansion Increase in the size of a substance when the temperature increases The size of a substance will then decrease when the temperature decreases Expansion and contraction occur in most solids, liquids, and gases Water is an exception because it expands as it becomes a solid
9
Some substances do not react as expected when changing states.
Amorphous solids lack the tightly ordered structure found in crystals do not have a definite temperature at which they change from a solid to liquid Examples: glass, plastic
10
Some substances do not react as expected when changing states.
Liquid Crystals do not lose their ordered arrangement completely upon melting used in liquid crystal displays in watches, clocks, calculators, and some notebook computers
11
Changes of State Melting Freezing Boiling Evaporation Condensation
Sublimation Crystalization
12
Properties of Fluids Buoyancy
Ability of a fluid (liquid or gas) to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it
13
Buoyancy An object in a fluid will float if its weight is less than the buoyant force acting on it from the fluid An object in a fluid will sink if its weight is more than the buoyant force acting on it from the fluid
14
Buoyancy
15
Buoyancy Archimedes Principle
Buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
16
Mass is 2gm, 27gm, 113gm volume of each is 10cubic centimeters
17
Buoyancy An object will float if its density is less than than the density of the fluid it is placed in.
18
Pascal’s Principle Pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid Pressure is force exerted per unit area Hydraulic machines use this principle to lift heavy loads
19
Pascal’s Principle
20
Pascal’s Principle
21
Bernoulli’s Principle
As the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases Ex) walk and push Airplanes use this principle to fly
22
Viscosity A liquid’s resistance to flow
Molecular structure determines a fluid’s viscosity Increased temperature will lower viscosity
23
Behavior of Gases Pressure is measured in a unit called a Pascal (Pa)
Collisions of particles in air result in atmospheric pressure Moving particles colliding with the inside walls of a container result in increased pressure
24
Air Pressure
25
Boyle’s Law Relates pressure and volume
Volume decreases when pressure increases Pressure decreases as volume increases Pressure multiplied by volume is always equal to a constant if the temperature is constant
26
Boyle’s Law
27
Charles’s Law Relates volume and temperature
At a constant pressure, volume increases as temperature increases At a constant pressure, volume decreases as temperature decreases
28
Gay-Lussac’s Law Relates pressure and temperature
At a constant volume, as temperature increases, pressure increases
