Temperature, Heat, and the Particle Theory

CBSE ADDA

Temperature, Heat, and the Particle Theory        
1.         What is a theory and can they be changed?

A theory is an explanation based on all the available information.  A theory can be changed when new evidence is discovered.

The Particle Theory

2.         According to the Particle Theory, what four characteristics are common to all matter?

According to the Particle Theory:

1.  All matter is made up of tiny particle too small to see.
2.  These tiny particles are always moving
3.  The tiny particles have energy
4.  The more energy the particles have the faster they move


3.         Use the Particle Theory of Matter to explain why pollen grains move around when placed in a glass of water.

Pollen grains move around in a glass of water because they are being pushed around by
the invisible particles in water.

Heat and Temperature

4.         Using the particle theory, explain Heat and Temperature.

The invisible particles in matter move because they have energy.  This energy is called heat. When these particles get more energy they move faster.  This creates more heat.

Temperature is a measure of the average energy of motion of the particles of a substance.

Expansion and Contraction

5.         Use the particle theory to explain the Expansion and Contraction of matter

Expansion:      When a substance is heated, its invisible particle get more energy so they move faster and they move further apart.  This results in an increase in volume (size) for the substance.

Contraction:    When a substance is cooled, its invisible particles lose energy.  They slow down and move closer together.  This results in a decrease in volume (size) for the substance.


States of Matter

6.         What are the 3 possible states of all Matter?

The 3 states of matter are Solid, Liquid, and Gas


8.         Using Figure 4, Identify the properties (characteristics) of Solids, Liquids, and Gases.

Properties of Solids                                        
1.  a set volume
2.  a rigid shape
3.  they cannot flow like a gas or liquid
4.  the particles move but only vibrate

Properties of Liquids
1.  a set volume
2.  they take the shape of the container they are in
3.  a liquid can flow
4.  its particle are free to move around

Properties of Gases
1.  it will fill any container and take the shape of the container
2.  a gas will flow
3.  its particles are free to move around
4.  its particle are much further apart than solids or liquids
 Understand and Apply

9.   What is Brownian motion?  What important evidence did it provide to scientists?

The movement of pollen grain in a glass of water is referred to as Brownian Motion.  This motion is cause by the water particles.

This movement helped scientist prove that their Particle Theory – that all matter is made of tiny particle that are always moving.


10.       In your own words describe the difference between HEAT and TEMPERATURE.

Heat is another name a particle energy.
Temperature is a measurement of the average energy of moving particles

11.       Use the Particle Theory to explain how a clinical thermometer works.

In a clinical thermometer, the tiny particles of ethyl alcohol inside the bulb of the thermometer are heated by a person’s body temperature. This increase in energy causes the particle of ethyl alcohol to move faster and further apart.  As a result, the ethyl alcohol in the bulb of the thermometer begins to expand.  As the alcohol expands it moves up the bore of the thermometer.  The alcohol stops moving up the bore when it reaches a constant temperature.


12.       How can you use a bottle of perfume in a room to show that the molecules in a gas are in constant motion?

When a bottle of perfume is opened its smell is transferred through the air by the particles that make up the air.

NCERT Activity Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salt Class 10 Chemistry Activity 2.1 Indicator Acid Base Red litmus No Change Blue Blue Litmus Red No change Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink Methyl Orange Pink   Yellow Indictors are substance which change colour in acidic or basic media. Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get dissolved in it

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor
