(states of matter)

Cards (25)

  • solid melts to liquid which evaporates into gas
  • gas condenses into liquid which freezes into solid
  • solids vibrate in fixed positions, have regular arrangement and defined shape
  • liquid particles slip and slide over each other, are arranged with space inbetween, and takes shape of container
  • Gas particles move rapidly, and collide into eachother or with the walls of a container. They have no arrangement and are widely spread apart to fill out the volume of it's container
  • states of matter can be converted by either heating or cooling
  • gas: intermolecular forces are broken
    liquid: intermolecular forces are weakened
    solid: intermolecular forces are present and strong
  • an element is a substance made up of only one type of atom
  • a compound is a substance formed from multiple elements bonded
  • a molecule is made up of a few atoms bonded together
  • a mixture is two or more substances mixed, but not bonded together
  • pure substances are elements and compounds
  • impure substances are mixtures
  • appratus for filtration:
    1. filter funnel
    2. filter paper
    3. conical flask
    4. residue
    5. mortar
    6. rock salt
  • appratus for crystallization:
    1. filtrate
    2. evaporating dish
    3. gauze
    4. tripod
    5. heatproof mat
    6. bunsen burner
  • percentage of rock in rock salt: (m of pure/m of impure) x 100
  • crystallization: process of forming crystals from a dish by evaporating
  • filtration: seperating an insoluable solid from a solution by passing it through filter paper
  • appratus for distillation:
    1. thermometer
    2. pear shaped flask
    3. solution
    4. clamp stand
    5. delivery tube
    6. ice bath
  • in distillation, when a solution is heated, water vapour will form and rise, following delivery tube into test tube. Whn the water vapour meets the ice, it will condense into pure water
  • chromatogram:
  • number of spots on a chromatogram indicate the number of components in the solution
  • stationary phase is when no water is travelling
  • mobile phase is when the water moves up of the chromatography paper
  • RF(retention factor): distance moved by spot/disolvent
