31. Define exothermic change.
|
31. It is a change that occurs when energy is removed from a substance.
|
|
32. What are the four major states of matter?
|
#32
1. Solid 2. Liquid 3. Gas 4. Plasma |
|
33. What are two forms of naturally occurring plasmas on Earth? (Short Answer)
|
33. Lightning and fire
|
|
28. What does Charles' Law say would happen to a balloon if you put in the freezer?
Why? |
28. It would shrink because if the temperature decreases, the volume (size) will also decrease.
|
|
29. What process changes a liquid to a gas?
|
29. Vaporization
|
|
30. Tell what state ice, water, and steam are in.
|
30. Ice is a solid.
Water is a liquid. Steam is a gas. |
|
25. Compare endothermic and exothermic. (Short Answer)
|
25. During endothermic changes, energy(heat) is added. During exothermic changes, energy (heat) is removed.
|
|
26. What happens to the particles when a liquid becomes a gas?
|
26. The particles break away from each other
|
|
27. Describe the particles of a liquid.
|
27. The particles are close together but are able to slide past each other.
|
|
22. What state does matter have a fixed shape and volume?
|
22. Solid
|
|
25. Define condensation.
|
25. It is the change from a gas to a liquid.
|
|
24. What state is it that will take the shape of its container and has a fixed volume?
|
24. Liquid
|
|
19. According to Boyle's Law, what will happen to the volume of a gas inside a chamber sealed by a piston if the pressure is reduced?
|
19. It will increase.
|
|
20. What are three things that happens when a substance loses or absorbs energy?
|
#20
1. Its temperature can change 2. The speed of the particles can change 3. Its state can change |
|
21. What are crystalline and amorphous examples of?
|
21. Solids
|
|
16. What state will not change shape in different containers?
|
16. Solids
|
|
17. Define vaporization.
|
17. It is the change of state from a liquid to a gas.
|
|
18. According to Charles' Law, if the temperature of a gas increases, what happens to the volume?
|
18. The volume will increase also.
|
|
13. What are particles like in a gas state?
|
#13
1. They move independently of each other. 2. They move fast enough to break completely away from each other 3. They have empty space between them. |
|
14. Define freezing.
|
14. It is the change of state from a liquid to a solid.
|
|
15. Of the five changes of state, which are exothermic changes?
|
15. Condensation and freezing
|
|
10.Give 3 properties that describe plasmas.
|
#10
1. Conduct electric current 2. Have magnetic fields 3. Can have a fixed or not fixed shape and volume |
|
11. True or False
Particles of a plasma have broken apart. |
11. True
|
|
12. Give an example of something that contains plasma.
|
12. A flourescent light
|
|
7. What does Boyle's Law say?
|
7. It states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, volume decreases as pressure increases (or vice versa).
|
|
8. What changes of state are endothermic?
|
#8
1. Melting 2. Vaporization 3. Sublimation |
|
9. Define sublimation.
|
9. It is the change in state from a solid directly into a gas.
|
|
4. What state is 99% of known matter?
|
4. Plasma
|
|
5. What do you add or remove from water to get it to change state?
|
5. Energy (Heat)
|
|
6. List two differences between gases and plasmas. (Short Answer)
|
#6
1. Plasmas conduct electricity and have magnetic fields. Gases do not. |
|
1. Classify each substance according to its state of matter: ice, apple juice, slice of bread, helium in a balloon, air, water, a textbook, and steam. (Short Answer)
|
#1
1. SOLIDS: ice, slice of bread, textbook 2. LIQUIDS: apple juice, water 3. GAS: helium in a balloon, steam |
|
2. Describe how the motion and arrangement of particles change as a substance freezes. (Short Answer)
|
2. MOTION: The motion will begin to slow down as it freezes.
ARRANGEMENT: The particles will start to get closer and closer until they can barely move. |
|
