The diagram below shows the different phase transitions that occur in matter. mc008-1.jpg Which arrow represents the transition in which dew is formed?
4
Bromine gas in a container is heated over a flame. What happens to the average kinetic energy of the bromine particles?
It increases quickly.
What happens when the kinetic energy of molecules increases so much that electrons are released by the atoms, creating a swirling gas of positive ions and negative electrons?
Matter changes to a plasma state.
A perfume bottle is dropped in the corner of a room. The odor of the perfume can be detected on the other side of the room. Which statement best describes this observation?
Particles are moving from regions of high concentration to low concentration.
Which is an aspect of the kinetic-molecular theory and can be used to explain the behavior of plasmas?
Particles exchange energy through elastic collisions.
Malia was able to make a paperclip float on the surface of water. What will most likely happen to the paperclip if a drop of dishwashing detergent is added near it?
Soap is a surfactant that disrupts the intermolecular forces of water making the paperclip sink.
Which statement best explains why heating a liquid affects its viscosity?
The molecules move faster at higher temperatures and overcome attractions more easily.
This heating curve is produced when a certain substance is heated. mc032-1.jpg Which best compares the particles of the substance when it is in region 1 with the particles of the substance when it is in region 3?
The particles are more orderly in region 1.
Which postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory applies to the particles of a liquid?
They have enough kinetic energy to easily slide by each other.
Which is the best example of immiscible liquids?
a polar liquid and a nonpolar liquid that do not dissolve into one another
On a temperature versus time graph, how does the temperature at the beginning of a change of state compare with the temperature at the end of the change?
always the same
Which device involves the use of plasma in technology?
arc welder
Which is an example of plasmas in nature?
auroras
Which change of state involves a release of energy?
condensation
Water's molar mass is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of glycerol is 92.09 g/mol. At 25°C, glycerol is more viscous than water. Which substance has the stronger intermolecular attraction?
glycerol because it is more viscous and has a larger molar mass
