Surface tension
What is the term for the property that allows insects to walk on water?
Surface tension.
What are the three primary states of matter?
Solid, liquid, gas.
What is viscosity?
Viscosity is a measure of a liquid's resistance to flow.
What is the process called when a solid turns into a liquid?
Melting.
What does Charles's Law state about gas volumes and temperature?
At constant pressure, the volume of a gas increases as its temperature increases
How does temperature affect surface tension?
Higher temperatures decrease surface tension.
What state of matter has a definite shape and volume?
Solid.
Which liquid has a higher viscosity: water or honey?
Honey.
What is evaporation?
The process of a liquid turning into a gas.
What is Boyle's Law about?
At constant temperature, the pressure of a gas increases as its volume decreases.
What is one real-life example of surface tension?
Water droplets on a leaf or the ability of a small object to float on water.
How do the particles in a gas behave compared to a solid?
Gas particles move freely and are far apart; solid particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.
How does temperature generally affect the viscosity of a liquid?
Higher temperatures decrease viscosity.
Describe what happens during condensation.
Gas turns into liquid as it cools.
How do the gas laws apply to everyday situations, like inflating a balloon?
As you blow air into the balloon, the volume increases, and the pressure inside the balloon rises.
If something pours very quickly what does that say about its viscosity
Its viscosity is low
What happens to the particles of a substance when it freezes?
The particles slow down and become more ordered.
Name one practical application of viscosity in everyday life.
Syrup pouring, oil in car engines, or blood flow in the body.
What is sublimation? Provide an example.
The process where a solid turns directly into a gas; an example is dry ice.
What happens to the pressure of a gas if its volume decreases?
The pressure increases.
How does soap affect the surface tension of water?
Soap decreases surface tension.
Which state of matter is used in Charles and Boyles Law
Gas
How does viscosity relate to the flow rate of a liquid?
Higher viscosity means a slower flow rate.
What is the difference between melting and freezing?
Melting is the transition from solid to liquid; freezing is the transition from liquid to solid.
Explain how temperature and pressure are related according to gas laws.
Generally, as the temperature increases, the pressure increases if the volume is constant.
