States of Matter A Kinetic Experience
Kinetic Theory of MatterAlso known as the Molecular theory of matter: • All matter is made of molecules and atoms that act like tiny particles • Molecules are always in motion. The higher the temperature, the faster the particles move • At the same temperature, heavier particlesmove slower than lighter particles.
Balls in Box Demo • Small vibrations = Solid • More Energy Added in the form of heat energy, bouncing inside box = Liquid • Even More Energy Added in the form of heat energy, balls falling out of box = Gas (evaporation) Heavier molecules evaporate at a slower rate. • Putting the balls back into the box = Condensation
Why metal balls inside some of the tennis balls? • Heavier molecules take more energy to evaporate. • Lighter molecules evaporate more readily. • Video – Kinetic Molecular Theory Watch as the water molecules gain enough kinetic energy to evaporate.
How does thermal energy affect the state of a substance? • Thermal Energy interactive Video – Investigate at home • Video molecules in motion
Amazing Ice Melting Blocks • How much longer would it take an ice cube to melt on the cold block, as compared to one put on the warm block? • Pass around the block and allow everyone to touch • Which is warm? • Which is cold?
Amazing Ice Melting Blocks • Oh, my the way, The “cold” block and the “warm” block are both the same temperature, namely room temperature. • What did you notice? • Things at the same temperature can feel as though they are at different temperatures. • The ice on the two blocks melts at extremely different rates, in a way that is completely unexpected.
Amazing Ice Melting BlocksWhat’s happening? The “cold” Block The “warm” block Made of Plastic Foam Poor conductor of heat. (Due to gas bubbles in it) Feels warm because heat is conducted more slowly from your hand Warmer to your hand than what is expected so your brain tells you the block is warm. • Made of Al • High heat conductivity • Feels cold because it is rapidly conducting heat from your hand • Cools your hand much more than expected so your brain tells you the block is cold.
Amazing Ice Melting BlocksWhat’s happening? So if they are both at room temperature why did one melt the ice faster? • Ice must have heat energy transferred to it before it will melt. • The high heat conductivity of the Al block allows it to conduct heat rapidly to the ice- resulting in a rapid melting.
Temperature • Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the atoms (or molecules) in a system. Temperature measures how “hot” something is.
Temperature Scales • Fahrenheit English system • Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and boils at 212 degrees. • Celsius modern system • freezing point of water 0 degrees Celsius, and the boiling point 100 degrees Celsius. • Kelvin A scale that is based on energy content . • At zero Kelvin (absolute zero) all molecular motion stops. • Scientists have figured out a way to get a temperature only a few billionths of a degree above absolute zero.
5 States of Matter • Elements and compounds can move from one phase to another when specific physical conditions are present. • When the temperature of a system goes up, the matter in the system becomes more excited and active. • As the temperature rises, matter moves to a more active state.
5 States of Matter • Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC) • Solids • Liquids • Gases • Plasmas • Each of these states is also known as a phase.
Bose-Einstein Condensate • In 1995, two scientists, Cornell and Weiman, created the condensate. • Two other scientists, Satyendra Bose and Albert Einstein, had predicted it in the 1920s, but they didn't have the equipment and facilities to make it happen at that time. • BECs can only be created with a few special elements. Cornell and Weiman did it with rubidium (Rb).
What is a Condensate? Think Condensation • Condensation happens when several gas molecules come together and form a liquid. The molecules get denser or packed closer together. • It all happens because of a loss of energy. Gases are really excited atoms. When they lose energy, they slow down and begin to collect. • Water (H2O) vapor in the form of steam condenses on the lid of your pot when you boil water. It cools on the metal and becomes a liquid again. You would then have a condensate.
Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) • Super unexcited and super cold atoms. • Colder than solids • Occur at temperatures near absolute 0 ((0 K, −273.15 °C, or −459 °F ) • Atoms begin to clump - no more energy to transfer • creating a "super atom." The atoms take on the same qualities and become one blob – No longer separate atoms
What is a solid? • Solids have a • definite shape • definite volume. • Molecules are tightly packed • Cannot move freely, can only vibrate • Molecules stay fairly still. • Energy and temperature are very low
Solids are broadly characterized as • Crystalline Solids- Repeating pattern Examples Ghost crystals crystals in rocks Salt rock candy Copper Sulfate • Amorphous Solids- - Non-repeating pattern Examples Wax play dough hand putty peanut butter Gum clay **Non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid whose viscosity depends on applied stress. Newtonian fluids like water, whose behavior can be described exclusively by temperature and pressure, not the forces acting on it from second to second.
Non- Newtonian Fluid in action • They filled a pool with a mix of cornstarch and water made on a concrete mixer truck. It becomes a non-newtonian fluid. When stress is applied to the liquid it exhibits properties of a solid.
What is a liquid? Liquids have • no definite shape, take shape of container in which it is held • Definite or fixed volume. • Molecules are closely packed • Molecules vibrate and slide around one another easily. • Energy and temperature, in comparison to a solid, are higher • The force of attraction between these particles is called intermolecular forces. These force cause liquid particles to be fairly close together, thus raising the density of a liquid compared to a gas. A misconception that molecules do not touch in a liquid. Demo Examples: Water in different sized containers. Water in syringe Water in baggie.
Solid/LiquidCheck-Up • Describe particle motion in a solid. • Describe particle motion in a liquid. • What are two different types of solids? Give 1 example of each. • What is a common misconception about liquids?
What is a Gas? • Gases have indefinite and unstable shape • No definite volume, volume determined by container • Molecules can vibrate, slide, spin, and bounce off of one another. • Molecules are far apart and can move around quickly. • Energy and temperature are the higher than those of both solids and liquids • Gases diffuse (The movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration) . • Heat will increase the rate of diffusion. Examples: Perfume Lysol “tooting your little horn” Ammonia
Did you know that Gases were also called fluids? Why? Draw a gas.
Vapor vs. Gas • Vapor and gas mean the same thing. • The word vapor is used to describe gases that are usually found as liquids. • Good examples are water (H2O) or mercury (Hg). Water and mercury are liquids at room temperature, so they get the vapor title when they are in a gaseous phase. • Compounds like carbon dioxide (CO2) are usually gases at room temperature, so scientists will rarely talk about carbon dioxide vapor. Water Vapor from a geyser
Compressed Gases With very little pressure, gas molecules can be compressed. Examples • compressed air in a spray bottle • When you feel the carbon dioxide rush out of a can of soda. • These gas were forced into a smaller space so the gas escapes the first chance it gets. • The gas molecules move from an area of high pressure to one of low pressure.
What is plasma? • Charged particles --Ionized Gas-- a cloud of protons, neutrons and electrons where all the electrons have come loose from the atoms • This is an extreme gas! Strikes the other atoms so forcefully it knocks off an electron! • These gases • vibrate, • Slam into one another causing bright gases, • lots of heat • lots of energy. • Hotter than gas. A plasma occurs when the temperature is between 1000 degrees C and 1,000,000,000 degrees C
Plasma Examples Neon Signs Our Sun, the core of stars Lightning Plasma TV Aurora Borealis plasma balls Human Christmas Tree Plasma Cutters
Gas/Plasma Check-Up • Describe particle motion in a gas. • Describe particle motion in plasma. • What is another name for plasma? • How is plasma formed?
A Phase Change • A "phase" describes a physical state of matter. • The key word to notice is physical. • If energy is added (like increasing the temperature) or if energy is taken away (like freezing something), you have created a physical change.
A Phase Change • A compound or element can move from one phase to another, but still be the same substance. • It may require extreme temperatures or extreme pressures, but it can be done.
Melting or Fusion • The change of state from solid to liquid • Melting Point - the temperature at which matter changes from solid to liquid, (e.g. The melting point of water from ice to liquid water is 0 °C)
Vaporization • Matter changing from a liquid to a gas. • Energy is added to the system. • Boiling Point - the temperature at which matter changes from a liquid to a gas, (e.g. The boiling point of water from liquid water to steam is 100 °C) Demo – Super Heated Steam- Water molecules move so fast that are able to burn paper.
