What’s the Matter Mini Lab• All matter that we see or touch, and even ones that we can’t see or touch are in one of

• three states: They are solids, liquids, or gases. In this activity you will be studying the

• different states of matter. When scientists think or talk about matter they mean every

• substance in the universe from the largest planet to the tiniest speck of dust. But what is

• matter? In the following experiment you will observe a form of liquid matter to try to

• determine what matter is made of.

•  

• Materials

• · 2 10 mL graduated cylinders

• · eyedropper

• · water

• · alcohol

•  

• Procedure

• 1. Put 10.0 mL of water in a 50 mL graduated cylinder. Be careful! Your measurements need to be as precise as possible!!!! Use an eyedropper or pipet if needed!

• 2. Put 10.0 mL of alcohol into the 10 mL graduated cylinder.

• 3. Carefully pour the alcohol into the water.

• 4. Observe what happened in the graduated cylinder and answer the questions below.

•  

• Questions:

• 1. What happens when you mix the two liquids together?

• 2. After the liquids were mixed together, do they take up the same space as they did

• before? How do you know?

What’s the Matter mini-lab explained

• Sometimes the volume of the mixture is less than, some times the sum of, and other times greater than the volume of the components. In the case of ethanol (alcohol) and water the volume of some concentrations is less than the sum of the components. Liquid water has a somewhat "open" structure that is broken up by the addition of ethanol so the mixture "collapses". In general there is no good way of predicting volumes of mixing of either liquids or of liquids and solids.

Pressure and Volume(at constant temperature)

WHY does pressure decrease when volume increases?

When the volume of the container increases, there is a larger inside surface of the container. The same number of particles (moving the same as before) will be hitting the inside surface just as often as they did before, except now those hits are over a larger area.

• Easy!!

• More particles = higher pressure

• More particles results in more collisions with the walls of the container.

Pressure• A gas exerts pressure on all sides of the container which holds the gas. The

amount of pressure is related to the energy of the gas and the amount of gas. The higher the energy, the more pressure is exerted, and the more gas is contained, the more pressure is exerted.

Gases expand to fill the boundaries of their containers. Once a gas has filled the container, it keeps pressing outwards, continuously trying to expand. This expansion creates a pressure on the sides of the container. The pressure is exerted by the molecules of the gas colliding with the sides of the container. The more energy a gas has, the more energy its molecules will have, and the more pressure will therefore be exerted. If there is more gas inside a given container, there will be a higher number of average collisions with the sides of the container, and more pressure will therefore be exerted.

A container may be of any size and shape. A common container of air is a balloon. Another container of gas is the Earth's atmosphere: the gas inside the Earth's atmosphere is constantly pushing against the sides of its container (including you!). Due to the gas contained in the atmosphere, we are all constantly under a pressure of about fifteen pounds per square inch.

Boiling Water at Room Temperature

• Atoms or molecules that make up a solid or a liquid are very close together. If you lower the pressure (in other words, make a vacuum) this means that there will be very few gas atoms or molecules near the surface of the solid (or liquid). This, in turn, makes it very unlikely for any molecule that leaves the surface to be replaced. So as you make the pressure lower, the 'stuff' you're dealing with will have a harder time coming together to make a solid (or a liquid).

Actually, below a certain pressure, you can't get a liquid at all. Below that pressure, if you cool a gas down, it will do something called 'crystal lattice formation' and go straight from a gas to a solid. (The opposite of this, going from a solid to a gas, is called 'sublimation.')

The boiling point for a liquid will also drop at lower pressures. In fact, you can actually get a liquid to boil at room temperature if you have a vacuum.

• High altitude cooking – see next slide!!• http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/foodnut/p41.html•

Page 63: States of Matter. Phase Changes Turn to page 84 in your textbook. Read section 3.3 pages 84-91 Answer the all the questions on p. 91 Section Assessment

High Altitude Cooking• At altitudes above 3,000 feet...

• At altitudes above 3,000 feet, preparation of food may require changes in time, temperature or recipe. The reason, lower atmospheric pressure due to a thinner blanket of air above. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi), at 5,000 feet it’s 12.3 psi, and at 10,000 feet only 10.2 psi - a decrease of about 1/2 pound per 1,000 feet. This decreased pressure affects food preparation in two ways:

• Water and other liquids evaporate faster and boil at lower temperatures.

• Leavening gases in breads and cakes expand more quickly.

• The temperature at which water boils declines as elevation rises (Table 1). Because of this, foods prepared by boiling or simmering cook at a lower temperature at high altitude than at sea level, and thus, require a longer cooking time. Meats cooked by simmering or braising may require one-fourth more time at 5,000 feet than at sea level. Oven temperatures, however, are not affected by altitude, so sea-level instructions work for oven-roasted meats. Hard-cooked eggs will also take longer to cook. A “three-minute” egg may take five minutes to cook at 5,000 feet. High altitude areas are also prone to low humidity, which causes the moisture in foods to evaporate more quickly during cooking. Covering foods during cooking will help hold in moisture.

Marshmallow Man• The chemical structure of a marshmallow is such that there are many pockets of air trapped by sugar

molecules. These pockets of air are constantly applying pressure to the sugar molecules in the amount of approximately 15 pounds per square inch.

A gas exerts pressure on all sides of the container which holds the gas. The amount of pressure is related to the energy of the gas and the amount of gas. The higher the energy, the more pressure is exerted, and the more gas is contained, the more pressure is exerted.

On an average day, the air pressure pressing on all things at the surface of the Earth is approximately 15 pounds per square inch.

Step 1: The marshmallow man is under normal circumstances. The air pressure inside the marshmallows exactly equals the air pressure around the marshmallows.

Step 2: The vacuum pump is turned on and the air inside the bell jar is slowly sucked out. This causes a decrease in air pressure around the marshmallows. Since the air pressure inside the marshmallows has not changed, there is now a difference in pressure. The force on the sugar molecules from the air inside is now greater than the force on the sugar molecules from the outside. The marshmallows expand and air eventually leaves the marshmallows.

Step 3: When the air was pumped out of the bell jar in the previous step, the force inside the marshmallows caused the marshmallows to expand. The force became so great, however, that much of the air inside the marshmallows escaped. When the air was allowed to flow back into the container, the air inside the marshmallows had decreased, so the marshmallows deflated.
