  • Which state of matter has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape
    Liquid
  • In what state of matter do you see lattices?
    Solids
  • Is H2 a compound or an element
    Element
  • What affect does a decrease in pressure have on the volatility of a liquid?
    Increase. If you decrease the pressure (on a mountain top) that decreases the boiling point (boils easier) a volatile liquid is one the has a low boiling point.
  • Is evaporation or condensation endothermic?
    Evaporation. Heat is added to turn a liquid to a gas, heat is removed to turn a gas into a liquid = condensation (exothermic)
  • What is an isotope
    atom with a different amount of neutrons
  • Is melting endothermic or exothermic?
    Endothermic. Heat is taken in. Amount of heat in the substance increases
  • Are boiling point and condensing point the same?
    Yes
  • What is freezing point?
    When a substance changes from liquid to solid
  • At what temperature does water become ice?
    0 degrees C, it is the same temperature ice becomes water. (mp = fp)
  • At what temperature does water vapor become water?
    100 degrees C. Same temp that water becomes water vapor bp=cp
  • what are the three states of matter
    solid, liquid, gas
  • Name the three sub-atomic particles and their charges
    Protons (+) electrons (-), neutrons (no charge)
  • What is meant by a volatile liquid?
    It has a low boiling point, it easily condenses
  • Which state(s) are considered fluids?
    Liquids and gases
  • Which state of mater has the most intermolecular space
    gas
  • Whats the difference between synthesis and decomposition
    Substance formed = synthesis, substance broken down = decomposition
  • Which gas diffuses faster ammonia or hydrogen chloride?
    Ammonia, less molecular mass
  • is freezing endothermic or exothermic
    Exothermic, energy is given out
  • How does an increase in pressure affect boiling point?
    Directly related. An increase in pressure= an increase in boiling point
  • Which gas diffuses the fastest?
    Hydrogen (least atomic mass)
  • how many electrons can the first electron shell hold?
    2
  • Are melting point and freezing point the same?
    Yes
  • What affect does an impurity have on boiling point and melting point
    Lowers melting point, raises boiling point
  • What is sublimation?
    When a liquid turns directly into a gas without first becoming a liquid
  • What is melting point?
    When a substance changes from solid to liquid
  • What particles make up the mass of an atom
    protons and neutrons
  • Which sub-atomic particle has the smallest mass
    electron
  • Is H2O a compound or an element
    Compound
  • How does surface area affect rate of evaporation?
    Greater surface area faster the rate of evaporation
