Revision Source
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Why are solids, liquids and gases stored seperatesehold recycling centres? | They all have different properties and have to be handled in different ways |
What is volume measured in? | Cubic Centimetres (cmᵌ) |
Why are liquids transported in sealed containers? | Liquids can flow, which makes it easy for liquids to be pumped in and out of the sealed containers |
What is the definition of dense? | When an object is to heavy for its volume |
What do some gas cylinders contain which is burned in gas cookers? | Propane |
Put these states of matter in order, according to their densities (most dense - least dense) | Solids - Liquids - Gases |
Name 3 observations Scientists have made about ice. | Ice can keep its shape, ice can't be squashed and ice can turn into a liquid when it is heated |
The particles in solids make what movements? | The particles are very close together and vibrate in fixed places. |
The particles in gases make what movements? | The particles are far apart and bounce off each other, when they collide |
What are the properties of a liquid? | Liquids can flow and can take the shape of any container |
What is diffusion? | Diffusion is when the particles move from a high concentration to a lower concentration |
What happens to the particles in a balloon when you blow air inside? | More particles are blown into the balloon, making the pressure increase |
Why is methane gas produced in landfill sites dangerous? | Gasses flow very easily, so the methane gas can flow through the landfill site and collect in pockets. |
Explain how a balloon expands. | A balloon expands because of the air particles that are in the air blown. The particles hit the side of the balloon, which makes the rubber stretch |
Why do old fridges need to be checked? | Old fridges contain a gas called CFCs which cause problems in the atmosphere |
