STATES OF MATTER

CHANGE OF STATE

  • One state of matter can
    be changed to another
    by heating or cooling.
  • During the change of state, the mass
    is conserved.
  • When the particle is heater
    it gains kinetic energy and particles
    tend to move far apart.

When the particle is cooled, it looses
energy and the particles move closer.

Melting Point

It is the temperature at which the ice
melts from solid to liquid without the change
in temperature. For water it is 0 degrees.

Boiling Point

It is the temperature at which the water
boils from liquid to gas without the change
in the temperature. It is 100 degrees for
water.

Freezing Point

It is the temperature at which the water
freeze from liquid to solid to form ice without
the change in temperature.For water it is 0 degrees.

When we heat the ice :-

a) The ice is heated. The temperature increases
to zero degrees. At zero degrees, the melting
point is reached.

b) At the melting point, the ice melts to form water.
At this stage there is no change in the temperature
and if we plot the graph then it will be the flat
section of the graph.

c) After the ice is melted and forms liquid, the liquid
is heated again until it reaches its boiling
point at 100 degrees.

d) At the boiling point, the water boils to form the gas or
water vapor without any change in temperature.

EVAPORATION AND BOILING

INTERNAL ENERGY

Energy stored by the particle of a substance

KINETIC ENERGY

It is the energy due to the particle’s
individual motion relative to each other.

POTENTIAL ENERGY

It is the energy due to the particle’s
individual position relative to ach other.

Heating or cooling a particle changes its internal energy and
changes the state of the particle.

LATENT HEAT

It is the energy transferred when the substance changes its state without
the change in temperature.

LATENT HEAT QUESTIONS

MEASURING LATENT HEAT FROM GRAPH

Plot the graph of temperature changes with time
for a given mass of ice let’s say 100 g of ice with
the power supply of 50 W. Note the time
for which the temperature did not change but change
of state take place.

LATENT HEAT OF FUSION

Power= 50 W
Time= 60 minutes= 3600 seconds
E= Power X time
= 3600 X50

LATENT HEAT OF VAPORIZATION

SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature
of 1 Kg of a substance by 1 degrees celcius.

SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY and
LATENT HEAT

Calculate the total energy required to convert to 750 g of water
at 50 degrees to 120 degrees. Specific Heat capacity
of water = 4200 J/Kg/C and latent heat of vaporization 2,260 KJ/Kg ?

PRESSURE IN GAS

Increasing the temperature
increases the kinetic energy of the molecules

So, the particles collide more and increases
the pressure.

BOYLE’s LAW

For a fixed amount of gas at a given temperature,
the product of Pressure and Volume is constant.

If a gas at 20 KPa occupies the

volume of 20 m3, then how much
volume it will occupies if it is compressred
to 10 KPa.

PARTICLE MOTION IN GAS

  • The particles in the gas are moving randomly.
  • The particles collide with the wall of the
    container and exert pressure.
  • Greater the number of particles, more the
    collission and greater the pressure.

KEY TERMS

  • Density:- Density is mass per unit volume.
  • Melting Point:- It is the temperature at which the ice melts from
    solid to liquid without the change
    in temperature. For water, it is 0 degrees.
  • Boiling Point:- It is the temperature at which the water boils
    from liquid to gas without the change in the
    temperature. It is 100 degrees for
    water.
  • Freezing Point:- It is the temperature at which the water freeze
    from liquid to solid to form ice without
    the change in temperature. For water, it is 0
    degrees.
  • Evaporation:- It is the surface phenomenon in which the water
    is lost in the form of water vapours from
    the surface of the water at the temperature
    below the boiling point.
  • Boiling:- The change of a liquid to a gas at the
    boiling point. Boiling occurs throughout the liquid
    and it results in the formation of bubbles.
  • INTERNAL ENERGY:- Energy stored by the particle of a substance. It
    is the sum of particles potential energy and
    kinetic energy. Kinetic energy
    of a particle is the energy due to the particle’s
    individual motion relative to each other.
    Potential Energy of
    a particle is energy due to the particle’s
    individual position relative to each other.
