Question 3.1: What is matter? Also give its different states?
Answer:
Anything (material in Nature) which has mass or weight and occupies space.
States of
Matter: There are four states of matter, namely: Solid, liquid, gas and Plasma. Solid state is the most common state of matter.
Liquid state is less common than other states of matter because it can
exit within a relatively narrow range of temperature. The gaseous state is
the simplest state of matter.
Question
3.1: Give important properties of gases liquid and
solid.
Answer: Some general properties of gases are given below.
i. Volume and Shape: Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape. They acquire the '
volume and shape of the container.
ii. Density: They have very low
densities as compared to solids and liquids.
iii. Diffusion: They
can diffusx and effuse very rapidly.
iv. Compressibility: They can be
compressed by a applying pressure because there are large empty spaces '
among gas molecules.
v. Expansion: They expand on heating and
contract on cooling.
vi. Pressure: they exert pressure when they are
closed in a container.
vii. Joule Thomson effect: Rapid expansion of gases causes cooling
(Joule-Thomson effect).
Properties of liquids:
i. Volume and shape:
Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape. They acquire the
shape of the container.
ii. Density: Their
densities are close to solids due to negligible intermolecular distance.
iii. Diffusion:
They diffuse very slowly into each other because of slow motion of molecules.
iv.
Intermolecular forces: The intermolecular forces are appreciable and have
marked effect on Melting Point and Boiling point.
v. Kinetic
energy: Liquid molecules pass kinetic energy due to their motion. The change
in kinetic energy may change at phase of the liquid.
vi. Collisions: molecules of liquid exchange energy due to their
collision with one anther.
vii. Compressibility:
liquids are almost incompressible due to close proximity of molecules.
Properties of Solids
i. Compressibility and
density:
The particles are tightly packed in solids. So they are incompressible and have high densities.
ii. Diffusion: Solids
cannot diffuse into each other because of translational motion is not
possible.
iii. Volume
and shape: The particles of solid are held together by strong attractive
forces and are regularly arranged. So solids have definite shade and volume.
iv. Vibrational motion:
The solid particles possess vibrational motion.
Question 3.1: What do you mean by Gas laws?
Answer: All gases expand on heating and
contract on cooling. AIl gases can be compressed by increasing pressure. The
behavior of gases towards change in there volume and molar quantities has been
generalized in the form of laws. They are called gas ' laws
Question 3.1: State
and explain Boyle's law?
Answer.
Statement:
''The volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to
its pressure at constant temperature”. Mathematically,
V=1/P (at constant temperature)
or PV = k
where P = pressure of gas V =
volume of gas, k = constant
Similarly, it can be shown that P1V1 = k, P2V2
= k and so on
This gives another definition of
Boyle's law:
“The product of a pressure and volume of a
given mass of a gas remains constant at constant temperature.”
