STATES OF MATTER
Gas is converted into plasma when you heat gas. When you have a gas
molecule and you exert a lot of energy, electrons get removed, which is
known as ionization. When you ionize a gas, plasma is produced. An
example of this can be lightning. Sparks are present because of the
formation of plasma.
Particles of liquids are tightly packed, but are far enough apart to slide
over another. The density of ice is lower than that of water. Anomalus
behaviour of water is the ice floats on water. Liquids are not
compressible as they have an indefinite shape and a definite volume.
Liquid particles do not have enough space between them.
HEATING CURVE
Which has more kinetic energy? 100 degrees celsius Steam or 100
degrees celsius water? Steam because there are more intermolecular
forces. At point E is where you find steam when the liquid transforms into
a steam. The ΔH vap is aka latent heat of vaporisation. SI unit of
energy will be kilojoules per mole. 18g of water will take a specific
amount heat to vaporise.
COOLING CURVE
Hence, it takes 501,000 J (or 501 kJ) of energy to melt 1.5 kg of water at
its melting point.
Q2. Q = m x ΔH fusion
M = 1.5kg = 1500g
Enthalpy = 22.4 J/G
Q=1500g × 22.4J/g = 33600J
Hence, it takes 33,600 J (or 33.6 kJ) of energy to melt 1.5 kg of lead at its
melting point.
Q3. When water freezes, it behaves differently from most other substances.
Usually, solids are denser than liquids because their molecules are packed
closely together. However, in water, the molecules spread out more when it
turns into ice due to the way they bond with each other through hydrogen
bonds. This results in ice being less dense than liquid water, which is why ice
floats on water. This anomalous property is important in nature. For example,
because ice floats, it forms a layer on the surface of lakes and rivers,
insulating the water below and protecting aquatic life in cold weather. If ice
were denser than water, it would sink, causing entire bodies of water to freeze
solid, which would be harmful to many ecosystems. This unique behavior of
water plays a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth.
