States of Matter (Chemistry Lab)

Front

What is a solid?

Back

A state of matter that has a definite shape and volume, with particles that are closely packed together and vibrate in place.

Front

What is vaporization?

Back

The process of turning from a liquid into a gas, which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

A substance that dissolves a solute, forming a solution. In the glurp lab, water was the solvent.

Front

What is freezing?

Back

The process of turning from a liquid into a solid, occurring when the temperature drops below the freezing point.

Front

What is a gas?

Back

A state of matter that has no definite shape or volume, with particles that are far apart and move freely.

Front

What happens during condensation?

Back

The process where gas turns into a liquid, often when the gas cools down.

Front

What is melting?

Back

The process of turning from a solid into a liquid, occurring when a solid is heated to its melting point.

Front

What is the boiling point of water?

Back

The temperature at which water changes from a liquid to a gas, typically 100 degrees Celsius at sea level.

Front

What is the difference between a solute and a solvent?

Back

A solute is the substance that is dissolved, while a solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute.

Front

What is the particle movement in solids?

Back

Particles in solids vibrate in place but do not move freely, maintaining a fixed structure.
