PHASESE OF MATTER
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1) Define matter.
2) Differentiate solid, liquid, and gas.
3) Describe gases
MATTER
Anything that takes up space and can be weighed.
PHASES OF MATTER
1. SOLID - Particles are tightly packed together.
2. LIQUID - Particles have more movement.
3. GAS - Particles are spread out.
4. PLASMA - Superheated matter.
FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTIES OF GASES
VOLUME - How much space a substance takes up.
Conversions: 1 L = 10dm³ = 10m³ = 1000 mL =
SI Unit: L, mL, cm³, m³, dm³
PRESSURE - Force exerted by the gas per unit area.
Formula: P=F/A
Conversion: 1 atm = 760mmHg = 760 torr = 1.01325 bar =
101.325 kPa
SI Unit: Pa, atm, mmHg, torr, bar, kPa
TEMPERATURE - Depends on the kinetic energy of the gas.
Formulae: K = °C + 273.15
°C = (°F – 32) 5/9
SI Unit: °F, °C, K
AMOUNT OF GAS - Mass of the gas is related to the
number of moles of the gas.
Formula: n = mass of the gas
molar mass of the gas
SI Unit: kg or g
KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY - Explain
the behavior of gases.
CHARACYERISTICS OF GASES
- Consists of very tiny particles, each of which has
mass.
- Gas particles travel constantly and in random
directions.
- Gases diffuse very rapidly.
- The forces of attraction are negligible.
- Gas particles collide but does not lose their kinetic
energy.
1000 cm³ - All gases have the same average kinetic energy at a
given temperature of gas.
