The pressure and temperature determine the state of a substance. Explain
Pressure and Temperature.
Phase changes.
Effect of Temperature and Pressure.
Changes when pressure and temperature are varied.
On increasing pressure | On decreasing pressure |
1. Particles of matter get closer. | 1. The particle of matter expands as pressure is reduced. |
2. When pressure is applied to a gas, the gas's particles become closer together, and a stage is reached where the gas may turn into a liquid. | 2. If you apply less pressure to a liquid, it will turn into a gas. |
3. When a liquid is subjected to increased pressure, it will transform into a solid. | 3. If you apply less pressure to a solid, it will turn into a liquid. |
On increasing temperature | On decreasing temperature |
1. The particles' kinetic energy increases. | 1. When the temperature of any state is reduced, the particles come closer. |
2. The particles begin to vibrate at a faster rate as their kinetic energy rises. | 2. When we lower the temperature of a gas, it transforms into a liquid. |
3. When a solid is exposed to increasing amounts of heat, it transforms into a liquid. | 3. If we apply a lower temperature to a liquid, it will solidify. |
