States Changes Worksheet

The document explains state changes of matter, specifically focusing on water's transitions between solid, liquid, and gas states. It outlines the Kinetic Molecular Theory, which describes how particles behave based on temperature and kinetic energy, and details the forces acting on these particles. Key temperature points for phase changes of water, such as freezing, melting, boiling, and condensation, are also provided.

Liquid water freezes to form solid ice, and liquid water boils to form steam,
which is a gas. These are two examples of _______________________________.

Kinetic Molecular Theory is a set of rules that explain how different states of
matter behave. There are three main parts of Kinetic Molecular Theory:

1. Matter is made of _______________________________.

2. Particles are in constant __________________. In other words, they have

______________________, which is often abbreviated as __________________.

3. The higher the _____________________, the _______________________ the

particles ___________________. In other words, they have higher

Matter can usually be categorized as either solid, liquid, or gas. However, the state of
matter for a particular substance can change, if the temperature changes. For example,
when you start with liquid water and lower its temperature, it will eventually turn into
solid ice. This change from liquid to solid is an example of a state change.

States changes are explained by a set of rules known as Kinetic Molecular Theory
(KMT). There are three main ideas in KMT. First, matter is made of tiny parts. Second,
particles are in constant motion. In other words, they have kinetic energy (KE), which
is the energy of motion. Third, the higher the temperature, the faster the particles
move. As temperature goes up, kinetic energy goes up as well.

There are two main forces acting on particles that affect states of matter and state
changes. The motion of particles (or their kinetic energy) acts to move particles apart.
At the same time, intermolecular forces of attraction (IMF’s) cause particles to be
attracted to each other, and they keep particles closer together. Depending on the
temperature, these two forces affect the particles differently.

As temperature decreases, particles slow down (their KE decreases), and the IMF’s
hold them together more strongly. As temperatures increases, particles go faster
(their KE increases), and then IMF’s hold the particles together more weakly. In
solids, the KE is low and the IMF’s are strong, as the particles are held tightly together in
an organized structure. In liquids, the KE and IMF are essentially balanced, because the
particles can move but they also are close together. In gases, the KE is very high, and
IMF almost don’t exist, because the gases particles are completely apart from each
other.

There are six phases changes that you need to know for the TEAS. The ones you may
already know are freezing (liquid turns to solid), melting (solid to liquid), boiling (liquid
to gas), and condensation (gas to liquid). There are two phase changes that are
probably less familiar: sublimation (when a substance changes from solid to gas
without turning into liquid) and deposition (gas becomes solid directly).

Finally, state changes happen at specific temperatures. For water under standard
conditions, melting and freezing happen at 0ºC. Boiling and condensation happen at
100ºC. You may be familiar with Fahrenheit temperatures (32ºF and 212ºF), but it’s
essential to memorize the Celsius temperatures for the TEAS. Notice that two state
changes happen at the same temperature (for example, water boils and condenses at
100ºC). The temperature change and heat flow direction determine which state change
happens. For example, if heat is absorbed at 100ºC, boiling happens. If heat is released
at 100ºC, condensation happens.
