This informative piece covers the four states of matter - solid, liquid, gas, and plasma- focusing on their kinetic energy levels and the resulting physical states they exhibit. Explanations include illustrations and comparisons to help understand these concepts easily. ###

Needed this week • Balloons • One and two liter bottles • Cotton gloves (to handle and protect from dry ice?)
Chapter 13, States of Matter • Four states of matter you need to know: • Solid • Liquid • Gas • Plasma
Determining the states of matter • The amount of kinetic energy a substance contains determines its physical state (solid, gas, liquid). The more energy it has, the “looser” it is bound
Notice • Did you notice that the Kinetic energy was added in the form of heat?
Solids • Solids stick together and stay in the same position next to each other (Like a class in which all students are seated)
Liquids • In a liquid, the particles touch each other but can move freely, like students in a crowded hallway.
Gases • In a gas, the molecules are not in regular contact with each other and bounce off when they hit one another (picture sixth graders in gym)
Gas Pressure • Gas pressure is the results of trillions of molecules banging against each other. The pressure is exerted in all directions at once. This is how a balloon or a tire stays inflated.
Atmospheric pressure • Atmospheric pressure is the pull of gravity on all the gas above us in the atmosphere. • A Barometer measures this pressure • At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 760 mm of mercury, on Mt. Everest, it is 253 mm of mercury
Measuring pressure • Atmospheres (atm) • mm of Mercury (mm Hg) • Pascals (Pa) • Kilopascals (because pascals are tiny) (kPa)
Note = Dumb ole’ TV and radio meteorologists use inches of mercury rather than mm or kPa!!! One inch is 25.4 mm 760 mm = 29.92 inches
Converting • 1atm equals • 760 mm Hg equals • 101.3 kPa • 1atm = 760 mm Hg = 101.3 kPa
Swapping units • 450 kPa X 760 mm Hg = 3400 mm Hg • 101.3 kPa • Note that 760 mm Hg and 101.3 kPa are the same pressure, so you multiply by one to convert
Standards • STP = Standard Temperature and Pressure • 273 K (0° Celsius) • standard pressure is 1 atm • At STP, one mole of gas occupies 22.4 L
Temperature and Kinetic Energy • Temperature is the Average Kinetic Energy in a substance
