Study Guide – Test on States of Matter – Thursday, October 6, 2016

Part One: Properties of the States of Matter

NB #24, #31

1. What is matter?

1. How is mass different from volume?

1. What are the 4 states of matter?

1. Why is weight not the same thing as mass?

1. What are characteristics of solids?

1. What are characteristics of liquids?

1. What are characteristics of gases?

1. What are characteristics of plasma?

1. List the states of matter in order of low energy to high energy.

1. How is temperature related to the motion of the particles?

1. How can we prove that liquids have a strong attraction?

1. What states of matter expand when heated?

1. What causes the expansion of matter?

Part Two: Kinetic Molecular Theory and Energy

Item #12 in NB

1. What 4 things does the Kinetic Molecular Theory State?

Item #14 & 16 in NB

1. For each energy listed below, give a definition and example of each

1. What mnemonic device will help us remembering the energies listed above?

1. What is potential energy?

1. What is kinetic energy?

1. What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?

Item #15 in NB

1. What is an energy transformation?

1. Give two examples of an energy transformation.

1. What is an energy transfer?

1. Give two examples of an energy transfer.

1. For each example below, complete the chart

1. For each example below, identify if it is an energy transfer or transformation. Identify how the energy changed.

Part 3: Gas Laws (NB #22, #29)

1. What three measurements are dependent on one another in gases?

1. What can I measure to get the volume of gases?

1. What is pressure?

1. What does Charles’ Law state?

1. Use this law to explain why a balloon gets smaller when placed in liquid nitrogen, but grows larger when left in a hot car on a sunny day.

1. Why is Charles’ Law directly proportional?

1. What does Boyles’ Law state?

1. Use this law to explain why a marshmallow expands its volume when placed in a vacuum container with no air.

1. What does it mean that Boyle’s Law is inversely proportional?

1. Pressure is affected by temperature. Why does temperature increase the pressure of a gas in a closed up container?

Part Four: Changes of State

NB #24, #25, #32, #33

1. What does it mean that states of matter change as heat is added or release?

1. What is an endothermic change?

1. What is an exothermic change?

1. Complete the chart below:

1. How does pressure affect the boiling point of water?

1. What two types of vaporization are there?

1. Which type of vaporization happens throughout the liquid?

1. Which type of vaporization happens only at the surface of the liquid?

1. What is the boiling point of water in Celsius? Freezing point?

Part Five: Water Cycle

NB #34 and #35

1. What is the water cycle?

1. What type of energy moves water from one place to another?

1. Why is water so important to our ecosystem?

1. When water precipitates, what change of state has occurred?

1. What state of mater is water mostly in during the water cycle?

1. At what point does water turn into a gas?

1. What two processes in the water cycle cause this to happen?

1. At what location is water in the solid state in the water cycle?

1. What change of state causes this to happen?

1. How does water sublimate in the water cycle?

1. When does water undergo deposition to change from a gas to a solid? Why does this only happen in very cold climates?

1. You learned about 3 ways to extend water resources in California: drip irrigation, recycling waste water, and desalination. Which one do you believe would be the best solution?Why?
