Properties of
Matter
Objectives: At
the end of this unit you will be able to:
- Describe the four
states of matter.
- Use the kinetic
theory of matter to explain the characteristics of solids,
liquids, and gases.
- Explain the thermal
expansion of matter.
- Interpret state
changes in terms of kinetic theory of matter.
- Account for the
energy of the heats of fusion and vaporization in state
changes.
- Explain how a
gas exerts pressure on its container.
- State and explain
how the pressure of a container of gas is affected when
the volume is changed.
- Explain the relationship
between the temperature and volume of a gas.
- State Archimede’s
principle and predict whether an object will sink or float
in water.
- State Pascal’s
principle and describe the operation of a machine that
uses Pascal’s principle.
- State Bernoulli’s
principle and describe a way that Bernoulli’s principle
is applied.
