1a
·         Particles in a solid are strongly bonded to each other so their particles are held in a fixed, regular pattern and can not move
·         The bonds between particles in liquids and gases are weaker and therefore their particles can move relative to each other

1b
·         The particles in solids and liquids are closely packed and they are therefore incompressible
·         The particles in a gas are very widely spaced and the forces between them are very weak so they can spread out to fill their container

Boiling
·         Boiling occurs when you heat a liquid until the average energy of the particles is great enough for them to turn into a gas
·         Boiling occurs at a fixed temperature called the boiling point
·         Boiling occurs throughout a liquid
·         It is a fast process
·

Evaporation
·         Evaporation occurs when a liquid is left open to the air
·         Only particles at the surface of the liquid that have enough energy can escape the liquid into the air
·         Evaporation occurs for a range of temperatures; high temperatures increase evaporation, low temperatures decrease evaporation
·         Evaporation only occurs from the surface of a liquid
·         It is a slower process
·         Because it removes the most energetic particles from a liquid the average energy of the remaining particles is decreased and the liquid cools down

5.7 understand that a substance can change state from solid to liquid by the process of melting
·         5.8 understand that a substance can change state from liquid to gas by the process of evaporation or boiling
·         Questions from Collins p.112
·         Answer in Bullet Points!

a) - Solids have a regular pattern of molecule arrangement, which ives them structural stability

- Solids have strong intermolecular bonds, meaning that it takes alot of energy to break these molecules apart

- Molecules in Liquid and gases can flow over each other as they are fluids -> Solids keep their shape

b) - Solids and liquids have stronger intermolecular bonds, therefore the molecules within these states are more densely packed together

- Mass = Volume x Density

- Liquids have a very low density, therefore they are lighter than solids or liquids.

- Gases fill their containers because molecules in this state have the most kinetic energy, so they move about very fast and in random directions

- This movement means that they push out in equal directions therefore 'filling their container'; solids and liquids do not have this energy, or random movement, so this does not occur.

- When a liquid reaches it's boiling point, the average kinetic energy (temperature) is enough to make all molecules transition into the gaseous phase

- Molecules at the bottom of the liquid have enough kinetic energy, but they are suppressed by the molecules above them

- Evaporation only occurs at the surface of the liquid, where there are no suppressing molecules, so these molecules can 'break away' from the intermolecular forces and become gas particles

LEARN: Evaporation is like boiling at the surface.

Collins, p.107

[cid:image001.jpg@01CC88F0.11386960]

Note: ρfresh water = 1,000kg/m3; g = 10N/kg

ps. 1,000mbar = 1 bar = 100,000Pa!

ANSWERS Collins, p107

pressure difference = height × density × g

∆p = h × ρ × g

∆p = pressure of the fluid (N/m2 or Pa) = 250kPa - 100kPa = 150kPa (x1000) = 150 000

h = height FROM SURFACE LEVEL (m) = ?

ρ = density of the fluid (kg/m3) = 1000

g = gravitational field strength (N/kg) = 10

height => h = 150 000/ (1000 x 10) = 15m OR NOTE IN FRESH WATER: EVERY 10m descend = +100kPa
If he was diving in water that was slightly denser than fresh water then we see from the equation that the pressure difference would be divided by a greater number, therefore the answer would be less meaning that the diver would dive less below the surface.

pressure difference = height × density × g

∆p = h × ρ × g

∆p = pressure of the fluid (N/m2 or Pa) = ?

h = height FROM SURFACE LEVEL (m) = 50

ρ = density of the fluid (kg/m3) = 0.42g/cm3 = 0.00042kg/cm3 => (1cm3 = 1/100^3) = 0.00042 x 100^3 = 420 OR NOTE: 1 g/cm3 = 1000kg/m3

g = gravitational field strength (N/kg) = 1.4

NOTE: 1 g/cm3 = 1000kg/m3

∆p =50 x 420 x 1.4 = 29400Pa OR 29.4kPa

Total pressure (atmospheric pressure on Titan = 1600mbar (1 mbar = 0.1kPa = 100Pa) => 1600 x 0.1 = 160kPa

TP = 160 +29.4 = 189.4kPa

5.6 Demo - squirting water column

[cid:image001.jpg@01CC88EF.74EC5B70]
· The bottom hole squirts water the furthest
· Because the water at the bottom has the greatest pressure
· Because in the formula ∆p = h × ρ × g, ρ is constant, g is constant and h is large
· So ∆p = large

5.6

· 5.6 recall and use the relationship for pressure difference:

pressure difference = height × density × g

∆p = h × ρ × g

∆p = pressure of the fluid (N/m2 or Pa)

h = height of the fluid (m)

ρ = density of the fluid (kg/m2)

g = gravitational field strength (N/kg)

5.5

· 5.5 understand that the pressure at a point in a gas or liquid which is at rest acts equally in all directions

· Collins, p.107, Q.4.

[cid:image001.png@01CC88E3.D010D6E0]

ANSWER

Shoe heel:

p = F / A

p = 400 / (0.05 x 0.05)

p = 160 000N / m2

Elephant:

p = F / A

p = 5000 / (pi x 0.1^2)

p = 159 155 N / cm2

High-heel shoe:

p = F / A

p = 400 / (1/20000)

p = 8 000 000 N / m2

Which ones will damage a floor that yields at a pressure of 4000 kPa?

· Collins p.106 Q.1-3. (Table of densities below)

[cid:image001.png@01CC84CD.0F0A7F10]

[cid:image002.jpg@01CC84CD.0F0A7F10]
[cid:image003.jpg@01CC84CD.0F0A7F10]

ANSWERS

Wood in Oil = Float
Wood in Mercury = Float
Plastic in Oil = Sink
Steel in Mercury = Float
Silver in Air = Sink
Gold in Mercury (this experiment must be done rapidly as the gold will dissolve quickly) = Sink
Helium balloon = Float

Dimensions: 0.200 x 0.090 x 0.065 (0.065 = 3.d.p.)

Mass of brick => m = W/g = 22.2/10 = 2.2kg

Volume of Brick => V = 0.200 x 0.090 x 0.065 = 0.00126 Density of Brick => p = mass / volume = 2.2/0.00126 = 1746.031.....

= 1746 kg/m^3

(1.93kg = 1930g)

volume of crown = mass / density => 1930 / 19.3 = 100cm3

new water level = 800 + 100 = 900cm3 (if pure gold)

IF not pure gold, the water level will be different because density affects the volume displaced (v = m/p)

Density of a Liquid

ANSWERS

m(cylinder) = 61g
m(cylinder + liquid) = 85g
m(liquid) = m(cylinder + liquid) - m(cylinder) = 85 - 61 = 24g
V = 25cm^3 = 25ml
p = m / V = 24 / 25 = 0.96 g / cm^3
