Chapter 10: The Kinetic Theory of Matter Section 10.2: Kinetic Energy and Changes of State

Main Idea: Matter changes states when energy is added or removed A) Interpret changes in temperature and changes of state of a substance in terms of the kinetic theory of matter B) Relate Kelvin and Celsius Temperature scales C) Analyze the effects of temperature and pressure on changes of state

Temperature and Kinetic Energy Particles move in random directions at different rates Temperature- measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up the material As gas is heated, the average kinetic energy and speed of its particles increases → temperature increases As gas is cooled, the average kinetic energy and speed of its particles decreases → temperature decreases

Kelvin Scale • Kelvins= SI unit of temperature (divisions on a Kelvin scale) • Water freezes at 273.15 Kand boils at 373.15 K • The temperature at which a substance would have zero kinetic energy is called Absolute zero • Absolute zero has never been reached because submicroscopic particles are in constant motion • It is defined so that the temperature of a substance is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles and so the zero on the Kelvin scale corresponds to zero kinetic energy

Celsius Scale • used throughout the world • Water freezes at 0°Cand boils at 100°C

Fahrenheit Scale • used by weather reporters, household ovens • Water freezes at 32°Fand boils at 212°F

Temperature Conversions • The divisions of the Fahrenheit and Celsius are called degrees, but the divisions of the Kelvin scale are called Kelvins Celsius to Kelvin: Tk = (Tc +273) K Kelvin to Celsius: Tc = (Tk - 273) °C http://education-portal.com/academy/lesson/temperature-units-converting-between-kelvins-and-celsius.html#lesson

Examples: 25°C = ? K 298 K =?°C Tk = (25 +273) KTc= (298 - 273) °C Tk = 298 KTc = 25°C

Changes of State • Dependent on temperature • Include: Evaporation, Sublimation, Condensation, Melting, Freezing, Deposition

Evaporation • the process by which particles of a liquid form a gas by escaping from the surface • The area of the surface, temperature, and humidity affect the rate of evaporation • Liquids that evaporate quickly are volatile liquids Example: perfume

Sublimation • process by which solid goes to a gas • occurs when the solid to liquid state is skipped • Example of material that sublimes: dry ice (solid CO2)

Deposition • The opposite of sublimation • Gas goes into a solid

Condensation • the reverse of evaporation (gas → liquid) • the gas particles come closer together (condense) and form a liquid

Melting Point • the temperature of the solid when its crystal lattice begins to disintegrate • When more heat is applied after the melting point, energy is used until the crystal lattice collapses and becomes a liquid

Freezing Point • If a liquid substance is cooled, the temperature falls, and the liquid becomes a solid • The temperature of a liquid when it begins to form a crystal lattice and becomes a solid

During Phase Changes… • Because energy is always conserved, energy is released when vapor changes to a liquid • As with boiling and condensing, the kinetic energies of the particles of a substance do not change during melting or freezing

Mass and Speed of Particles • Particles of greater mass have greater kinetic energy • Particles with greater speed have greater kinetic energy • Motions of gas particles cause them to spread out to fill containers uniformly

Diffusion • process by which particles of matter fill a space because of random motion (ex: food coloring moving in water) • The rate of diffusion of a gas depends upon its kinetic energy- mass and speed of its molecules • http://education-portal.com/academy/lesson/diffusion-and-effusion-grahams-law.html#lesson

Vapor Pressure • The liquid water that is left in a closed container will not all evaporate. The liquid in a closed container comes to equilibrium with its vapor • When equilibrium is reached, the pressure exerted by vapors reaches its final, maximum value (volume of liquid will not change)

Vapor Pressure (cont) • Vapor pressure - The pressure of a substance in equilibrium with its liquid (rates of evaporation and condensation are equal) • The value of vapor pressure of a substance indicates how easily the substance evaporates: • High vapor pressure = more volatile • Low vapor pressure = less volatile • Higher temperatures = greater vapor pressure • Lower temperatures = less vapor pressure

Boiling point • Temperature of the substance when its vapor pressure equals the pressure exerted in on the surface of the liquid • Normal boiling point is the temperature at which liquid boils in an open container at normal atmospheric pressure

Boiling point (cont) • Boiling point of a liquid increases when pressure increases • Boiling point of a liquid decreases when pressure decreases • Example: Sea level: 100°C High altitude: 96°C • Because the temp of the boiling water is lower at high elevations, it takes longer to cook foods. • ↑ altitude = ↓ pressure = ↓ boiling point

Heat of Vaporization • energy absorbed when 1 kg of a liquid vaporizes at its normal boiling point • Joule (J) -SI unit of energy required to lift a 1-kg mass 1 meter against the force of gravity • 2.26 x 106 J is the energy needed to move molecules in 1 kg of water far enough apart that they form water vapor • Heat of vaporization of water = 2.26 x 106 J/kg

Heat of Vaporization (cont) Example: How much energy is absorbed if a 500g sample of water vaporizes? 0.5 Kg x 2.26 x 106J = 1.13 x 106 J 1 Kg

Heat of Fusion • The energy released as 1 kg of a substance solidifies at its freezing point • Heat of fusion of water = 3.34 x 105 J/kg

Heat of Fusion (cont) Example: How much energy is released if a 5000g sample of water solidifies? 5 Kg x 3.34 x 105J = 1.67 x 106 J 1 Kg
