400

Machine oil has a density of 0.9 g/mL. Ethyl alcohol has a density of 0.8 g/mL. If we mix these, which substance will float on top of the other one?

1) Machine oil has greater density (0.9 > 0.8) 2) Therefore, knowing that denser things SINK, the ethyl alcohol will FLOAT on top of the machine oil, because it's density is lower.

What are the 4 main points of the KMT? DOUBLE POINTS!

-everything is made of particles

-particles have space between them / exist in empty space

-the space between changes based on temperature/energy

-particles are always moving

What are the 3 ways to increase the rate of dissolving a solute in a solvent?

1) increase surface are of solute

2) agitate mixture

3) heat it up

400

What is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid?

What is the melting point?

500

What happens to the density of substance when it is heated up. Why does this happen?

When a substance is heated, its density decreases because the molecules gain energy, move faster, and spread further apart, causing the volume to increase while the mass remains the same.
