Chapter 13 assignments Name ________________________ In order to understand the concepts of kinetic molecular theory, you will explore the nature of solids, liquids, and gases in a variety of ways. First, complete #1, then you may continue these activities in any order you choose using any resources available, except for your classmates’ work Use this paper as a checklist to mark off what you’ve completed. Hand in everything together. If you are not confident about a particular concept or skill after trying to learn through various methods, ask me! _____ 1. a. Read the textbook. Take Cornell notes on each section. An example is on my website. You must complete the summaries for two parts. This means you will have three more to do. OR _____b. Complete the “Chapter 13 study guide packet” that is on my website. You do not have to do the practice problems on the last 2 pages. _____ 2. Research the issues that you would encounter in terms of gases and gas pressure if you were to go mountain climbing or to live in Denver, CO or Kathmandu, Nepal. You should include information about cooking, altitude sickness, and flatulence. This should be in the form of bulleted notes, a chart or other graphic organizer. Then complete: _____a. Vapor Pressure Diagrams worksheet _____b. Vapor Pressure and Boiling Points 3. Complete a series of worksheets that require you to interpret phase diagrams, phase change diagrams and molecular kinetic energy diagrams. _____a. Interpreting Graphics 13.4 _____b. Understanding Changes of States _____c. Phase Diagrams (try quiz : http://www.sciencegeek.net/Chemistry/taters/phasediagram.htm) _____d. Particle Speed _____5. Kinetic Theory of Matter‐ a. Write about KTM from the point of view of a gas molecule or atom in a closed tank. Describe the path you would follow. Consider your motion in relation to other gas particles in the tank and the walls of the tank. Be sure to use all appropriate vocabulary to showcase your depth of understanding. OR _____ b. Make a concept map using the relevant vocabulary to showcase your understanding of kinetic molecular theory. _____6. a. Complete the graphic organizer: Types of Solids and Types of Solids Worksheet. OR _____ b. Create a document with diagrams, information and examples of each type of solid. (This allows you to avoid drawing.) _____ 7. Complete the Manometers worksheet 13‐2. _____ 8. Draw a diagram that shows the three states of matter and the changes of state. Include diagrams of solids, liquids and gases at the atomic level. Note whether each change of state is exothermic or endothermic. Be sure to explain the difference between evaporation and vaporization.(There is a nice Tyler DeWitt video about this on YouTube.) You have 3 class periods to work on these. All the work is due on the 4th class period. We will have a quiz and then move onto phase changes with a lab. Below are the concepts and skills you are expected to master over the next several lessons. This should help you decide if you have learned thoroughly before the quiz. Unit Enduring Understandings There are several ways in which elements and compounds react to form new substances and each reaction involves the flow of energy. Matter can exist in four states (solid, liquid, gas and plasma) depending on temperature. The kinetic molecular theory conceptually describes the physical behavior of gases. Unit Essential Questions In what ways are bond energies of the reactants and products related to the enthalpy of reaction? How are the properties of substances changed by heating or cooling? How does the kinetic molecular theory explain the motion of gas particles? Objectives Students will know: How to describe the motion of particles of a gas according to the kinetic theory. How to relate temperature to the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. How to explain the significance of absolute zero, giving its value in degrees Celsius and Kelvin. How to state the values of standard temperature and pressure. How to state Avogadro’s hypothesis and explain its significance. How to describe the nature of a liquid in terms of the attractive forces between its particles. How to list six possible phase changes that matter can undergo. How to identify the triple point, critical temperature, and critical pressure on a phase diagram. Students will be able to: Use the kinetic theory to explain gas pressure. Convert between units of pressure: Pa, atm, and mmHg. Explain why a liquid has a vapor pressure and why a change in temperature causes a change in vapor pressure. Describe phase changes at the submicroscopic level. Interpret phase diagrams.
