IB States of Matter

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
Solid state   fixed shape and volume; particles held together by intermolecular forces in a fixed position; particles can vibrate about a fixed point but do not have translational velocity  
🗑
liquid state   fixed volume; takes shape of container; particles held closely together by intermolecular forces; particles have translational velocity so diffusion can occur  
🗑
gaseous state   widely spaced particles that completely fill container; pressure of gas due to particles colliding with walls of container; intermolecular forces negligible; volume occupied by molecules negligible compared with total volume of gas; diffusion can occur  
🗑
absolute temperature   proportional to its average kinetic energy (.5 mass) x (velocity squared)  
🗑
melting   solid particles increase in temp as kinetic energy increases due to greater vibration of particles; when vibration is sufficient to overcome intermolecular forces holding the lattice together the solid melts. temp doesn't increase during melting  
🗑
boiling   liquid particles move faster than solid; some move faster than others and escape from surface of liquid to form a vapour; when pressure of the vapour is equal to pressure above liquid, the liquid boils. temp remains same during boiling  
🗑
Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution   shows the distribution of kinetic energies.  
🗑
Why does a volatile liquid feel cold as it evaporates?   When a liquid evaporates it is the faster moving particles that escape so the average kinetic energy of the remaining particles is lower.  
🗑
Ideal gas equation   PV=nRT; P=pressure; V=volume; n=number of moles; R=gas constant; T=temperature (K)  
🗑
Real gases   have some attractive forces between particles; particles occupy some space. Real gases behave like an ideal gas at high temp and low pressure.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
