What temperature really isalways Atoms in motion areTemperature and energy278 UNIT 5 MATTERImagine you had a microscope powerful enough to see individualatoms. You would see that atoms are in constant motion, even in asolid object. The atoms are not fixed in place, but act like they areconnected by springs (Figure 11.3). Each atom stays in the sameaverage place, but constantly jiggles back and forth in all directions.As you might guess, the “jiggling” means motion and motion meansenergy. The back-and-forth jiggling of atoms is caused by thermalenergy, which is a kind of kinetic energy.Thermal energy is proportional to temperature. When thetemperature goes up, the energy of motion increases. That means theatoms jiggle around more vigorously. The higher the temperature,the more thermal energy atoms have and the faster they movearound. Temperature measures a particular kind of kinetic energyper atom.Temperature measures the kinetic energyper atom due to random motion.Random average motion versus If you throw a rock, the rock gets more kinetic energy, but thetemperature of the rock does not go up. How can temperaturerandommeasure kinetic energy then? The answer is the difference betweenand average. For a collection of many atoms (like a rock), thekinetic energy of has two parts. The kinetic energy of the thrown rockcomes from the average motion of the whole collection; the wholerock. This kinetic energy is not what temperature measures.Random motion Each atom in the rock is also jiggling back and forth independentlyof the other atoms in the rock. This jiggling motion is random.Random motion is motion that is scattered equally in all directions.On average, there are as many atoms moving one way as there aremoving the opposite way. Temperature measures the kinetic energyin the random motion. Temperature is not affected by any kineticenergy associated with average motion. That is why throwing a rockdoes not make it hotter (Figure 11.4).thermal energy - energy due totemperature.random - scattered equally in alldirections.Figure 11.3: Atoms in a solid areconnected by bonds that act like springs.Figure 11.4: A collection of atomscan have both average motion andrandom motion. That is why a rock hasboth a velocity and a temperature.

Changing phaseMelting freezing andBoiling and condensingChanges in phase require energyThe melting point is the temperature at which a substance changesfrom solid to liquid (melting) or liquid to solid (freezing). Differentsubstances have different melting points because intermolecularforces vary. When these forces are strong, it takes more energy toseparate molecules from each other. Water melts at 0 °C. Iron melts ata much higher temperature, about 1,500°C. The difference in meltingpoints tells us the forces between iron atoms are stronger thanbetween water molecules.When enough energy is added, theintermolecular forces are completely pulledapart and the liquid becomes a gas. Theboiling point is the temperature at which asubstance changes from liquid to gas(boiling) or from gas to liquid (condensation).When water boils you can easily see thechange within the liquid as bubbles of watervapor (gas) form and rise to the surface. Thebubbles in boiling water are not air, they are water vapor.It takes energy to break the bonds created by intermolecular forces.This explains a peculiar thing that happens when you heat an icecube. As you add heat energy, the temperature increases. Once itreaches 0 °C, the temperature stops increasing as ice starts to melt andform liquid water (Figure 11.6). As you add more heat energy, moreice becomes liquid but the temperature stays the same. This isbecause the energy you are adding is being used to break theintermolecular forces and change solid into liquid. Once all the ice hasbecome liquid, the temperature starts to rise again as more energy isadded. The graph at the right shows the temperature change in anexperiment. When heat energy is added or subtracted from matter,either the temperature changes, or the phase changes, but usually notboth at the same time.CHAPTER 11: TEMPERATURE, HEAT,ANDTHE PHASESOF MATTERmelting point - temperature atwhich melting or freezing occurs.boiling point - temperature atwhich boiling or condensationoccurs.Figure 11.6: Notice how thetemperature stays constant as theice is melting into water?11.1 TEMPERATUREANDTHE PHASESOF MATTER281

Specific heatTemperature mass and If you add heat to an object, how much will its temperature increase?It depends in part on the mass of the object. If you double the mass ofthe object, you need twice as much energy to get the same increase intemperature. The temperature increase also depends on whatsubstance you are heating up. It takes different amounts of energy toraise the temperature of different materials.Temperature type of material and You need to add 4,184 joules of heat to one kilogram of water toraise the temperature by 1 °C. (Figure 11.9). You only need to add470 joules to raise the temperature of a kilogram of steel by 1 °C. Ittakes 9 times more energy to raise the temperature of water by 1 °Cthan it does to raise the temperature of the same mass of steel by 1 °C.Specific heat Specific heat is a property of a substance that tells us how much heatis needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram by one degreeCelsius. Specific heat is measured in joules per kilogram per degreeCelsius (J/kg°C). A large specific heat means you have to put in a lot ofenergy for each degree increase in temperature.Uses for specificSpecific heat is the amount of energy thatwill raise the temperature of one kilogram ofa substance by one degree Celsius.Knowing the specific heat tells you how quickly the temperature of aheat material will change as it gains or loses energy. If the specific heat islow (like steel), then temperature will change relatively quicklybecause each degree of temperature change takes less energy. If thespecific heat is high (like water), then the temperature will changerelatively slowly because each degree of temperature change takesmore energy. Hot apple pie filling stays hot for a long time because itis mostly water, and therefore has a large specific heat. Pie crust has amuch lower specific heat and cools much more rapidly. The table inFigure 11.10 lists the specific heat for some common materials.CHAPTER 11: TEMPERATURE, HEAT,ANDTHE PHASESOF MATTERspecific heat - the amount ofheat needed to raise thetemperature of one kilogram of amaterial by one degree Celsius.Figure 11.9: Water and steel havedifferent specific heats.Material Specific (J/kg°C) heatwoodwater 4,184aluminum1,800concrete900glass 800880steel 470Figure 11.10:some common materials.Specific heat values of11.2 HEAT285

Why is specific heat different for different materials?Why heat specific In general, materials made up of heavy atoms or molecules have lowvaries specific heat compared with materials made up of lighter ones. Thisis because temperature measures the average kinetic energy perparticle. Heavy particles mean fewer per kilogram. Energy that isdivided between fewer particles means more energy per particle, andtherefore more temperature change.An example: silver andaluminum Suppose you add 4 joules of energy to a kilogram of silver and 4joules to a kilogram of aluminum. Silver’s specific heat is 235J/kg°C and 4 joules is enough to raise the temperature of the silver by17 °C. Aluminum’s specific heat is 900 J/kg°C. Four joules only raisesthe temperature of the aluminum by 4.4 °C. The silver has feweratoms than the aluminum because silver atoms are heavier thanaluminum atoms. When energy is added, each atom of silver getsmore energy than each atom of aluminum because there are fewersilver atoms in a kilogram. Because the energy per atom is greater,the temperature increase in the silver is also greater.Water has a higher specific heatthan many other commonmaterials. Its specific heat is morethan four times greater than thespecific heat of rocks and soil. Thehigh specific heat of water is veryimportant to our planet. Watercovers about 75 percent of Earth’ssurface. One of the fundamentalreasons our planet is habitable isthat the huge amount of water on ithelps regulate the temperature.Land, because it has a low specificheat, experiences large changesin temperature when it absorbsheat from the Sun. Water tends tohave smaller changes intemperature when it absorbs thesame amount of heat. During theday, oceans help keep Earth cool,while at night, they keep Earthwarm by slowing the rate at whichheat is emitted back into space.286 UNIT 5 MATTER

Heat TransferThe three heat flows waysWhat is conduction?How does conduction work?Thermal equilibriumThermal energy flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.This process is called heat transfer. How is heat transferred frommaterial to material, or from place to place? It turns out there arethree ways heat flows; conduction, convection, and radiation.Heat conduction is the transfer of heat by the direct contact ofparticles of matter. If you have ever held a warm mug of hot cocoa, youhave experienced conduction. Heat is transferred from the mug toyour hand. Conduction only occurs between two materials at differenttemperatures and when they are touching each other. In conduction,heat can also be transferred through materials. If you stir hot cocoawith a metal spoon, heat is transferred from the cocoa, through thespoon, and to your hand.Conduction is the transfer of heat by thedirect contact of particles of matter.Imagine placing a cold spoon into a mug of hot cocoa (Figure 11.11).The molecules in the cocoa have a higher average kinetic energy thanthose of the spoon. The molecules in the spoon exchange energy withthe molecules in the cocoa through collisions. The molecules withinthe spoon itself spread the energy up the stem of the spoon throughthe intermolecular forces between them. Heat conduction works boththrough collisions and also through intermolecular forces betweenmolecules.As collisions continue, the molecules of the hotter material (the cocoa)lose energy and the molecules of the cooler material (the spoon) gainenergy. The kinetic energy of the hotter material is transferred, onecollision at a time, to the cooler material. Eventually, both materialsare at the same temperature. When this happens, they are in thermalequilibrium. Thermal equilibrium occurs when two bodies have thesame temperature. No heat flows in thermal equilibrium because thetemperatures are the same.CHAPTER 11: TEMPERATURE, HEAT,ANDTHE PHASESOF MATTERheat conduction - the transferof heat by the direct contact ofparticles of matter.thermal equilibrium -when things are at the sametemperature and no heat flows.Figure 11.11: Heat flows byconduction from the hot cocoa into,and up, the spoon.11.2 HEAT287

Thermal conductors and insulatorsmatter Which conducts state ofbest?Thermal conductors and insulatorsConduction can happen in solids, liquids, and gases. Solids make thebest conductors because their particles are packed closely together.Because the particles in a gas are spread so far apart, relatively fewcollisions occur, making air a poor conductor of heat. This explainswhy many materials used to keep things warm, such as fiberglassinsulation and down jackets, contain air pockets (Figure 11.12).Materials that conduct heat easily are called thermal conductors andthose that conduct heat poorly are called thermal insulators. Forexample, metal is a thermal conductor, and a foam cup is a thermalinsulator. The words conductor and insulator are also used todescribe a material’s ability to conduct electrical current. In general,good electrical conductors like silver, copper, gold, and aluminum arealso good thermal conductors.Figure 11.12: Because air is a poorconductor of heat, a down jacket keepsyou warm in the cold of winter.Heat cannot conductionthrough occurvacuumaConduction happens only if there are particles available to collidewith one another. Conduction does not occur in the vacuum of space.One way to create an excellent thermal insulator on Earth is to makea vacuum. A vacuum is empty of everything, including air. A thermosbottle keeps liquids hot for hours using a vacuum. A thermos is acontainer consisting of a bottle surrounded by a slightly larger bottle.Air molecules have been removed from the space between the bottlesto create a vacuum (Figure 11.13).Figure 11.13: A thermos bottle usesa vacuum to prevent heat transfer byconduction and convection.288 UNIT 5 MATTER

ConvectionWhat is convection?Natural convectionForced convectionHave you ever watched water boil in a pot? Bubbles form on thebottom and rise to the top. Hot water near the bottom of the pancirculates up, forcing cooler water near the surface to sink. Thiscirculation carries heat through the water (Figure 11.14). This heattransfer process is called convection. Convection is the transfer ofheat through the motion of matter such as air and water.Fluids expand when they heat up. Since expansion increases thevolume, but not the mass, a warm fluid has a lower mass-to-volumeratio (called density) than the surrounding cooler fluid. In a container,warmer fluid floats to the top and cooler fluid sinks to the bottom. Thisis called natural convection.In many houses a boiler heats water and then pumps circulate thewater to rooms. Since the heat is being carried by a moving fluid, thisis another example of convection. However, since the fluid is forced toflow by the pumps, this is called forced convection. Both natural andforced convection often occur at the same time. Forced convectiontransfers heat to a hot radiator. The heat from the hot radiator thenwarms the room air by natural convection. Convection is mainly whatdistributes heat throughout the room.CHAPTER 11: TEMPERATURE, HEAT,ANDTHE PHASESOF MATTERconvection - the transfer of heatby the motion of matter, such as bymoving air or water.Figure 11.14: Convection currentsin water. The hot water at the bottom ofthe pot rises to the top and replaces thecold water.11.2 HEAT289

Thermal radiationthermal Definition radiation of If you stand in a sunny area on a cold, calm day, you will feel warmthfrom the Sun. Heat from the Sun is transferred to Earth by thermalradiation.Thermal radiation is electromagnetic waves (includinglight) produced by objects because of their temperature. All objectswith a temperature above absolute zero (–273 °C or –459 °F) emitthermal radiation. To emit means to give off.Thermal radiation comes from atomsObjects emit and absorb radiationSome absorb surfaces moreThermal radiation is heat transfer byelectromagnetic waves, including light.Thermal radiation comes from the thermal energy of atoms. Thepower in thermal radiation increases with higher temperaturesbecause the thermal energy of atoms increases with temperature(Figure 11.15). Because the Sun is extremely hot, its atoms emit lotsof thermal radiation. Unlike conduction or convection, thermalradiation can travel through the vacuum of space. All the energy theEarth receives from the Sun comes from thermal radiation.Thermal radiation is also absorbed by objects. An object constantlyreceives thermal radiation from everything else in its environment.Otherwise all objects would eventually cool down to absolute zero byradiating their energy away. The temperature of an object rises ifmore radiation is absorbed. The temperature falls if more radiation isemitted. The temperature adjusts until there is a balance betweenradiation absorbed and radiation emitted.The amount of thermal radiation absorbed depends on the surface ofa material. Black surfaces absorb almost all the thermal radiationenergy others than that falls on them. For example, black asphalt pavement gets veryhot in the summer Sun because it effectively absorbs thermalradiation. A silver mirror surface reflects most thermal radiation,absorbing very little (Figure 11.16). You may have seen someone puta silver screen across their windshield after parking their car on asunny day. This silver screen can reflect the Sun’s heat back out the290car window, helping the parked car stay cooler on a hot day.UNIT 5 MATTERthermal radiation -electromagnetic waves producedby objects because of theirtemperature.Figure 11.15: The higher thetemperature of an object, the morethermal radiation it emits.Figure 11.16: Dark surfaces absorbmost of the thermal radiation theyreceive. Silver or mirrored surfacesreflect thermal radiation.

Extraordinary MaterialsChapter 11 Connection292Materials scientists spend their time learning about theproperties of different materials, and also designing,creating, or discovering new materials. Many materials youmay be familiar with were discovered accidentally, whileothers were created in a laboratory with a particular use inmind.Vulcanized RubberMost natural rubber comes from one species of tree thatgrows in South America and Southeast Asia. Naturalrubber becomes sticky when heated and cracks when itfreezes. These properties make natural rubber difficult touse for tires! In the mid-1800's, inventors sought to discovera more durable form of rubber, knowing it could be used in avariety of products if the properties were changed.Perhaps none tried as hard as Charles Goodyear. He onlydiscovered the secret to improving the properties of rubberafter years of research andpoverty. Though manyhistorians consider hisdiscovery an accident (anexperimental rubber mixturehe spilled on a hot stove turnedout to be very durable), it washis attention to detail thatmade him realize that burnedrubber was actually thesubstance he was looking for.Goodyear's experimentalmixture contained sulfur, andexposing the rubber/sulfurmixture to heat caused achemical change. Heatingrubber in the presence ofsulfur causes the long chains of rubber molecules to bondtogether. Vulcanized rubber, as it is called, doesn’t breakdown when exposed to hot or cold temperatures. Have youheard of Goodyear automobile tires?Now that materials scientists better understand theinteraction of the molecules in rubber, they've applied thisknowledge to other materials to make a variety of plasticsand synthetic rubber.Carbon NanotubesThere is a material so strong, youcould hang from a hair-like threadof it! Can you imagine that? Asamazing as it seems, this superstrongmaterial really exists.Scientists discovered that one formof carbon, called a nanotube, hassome amazing properties.Nanotubes are very narrow, tubeshapedmolecules that form underspecial conditions.Nanotubes conduct heat very well,they are incredibly strong. Theyhave a lot of potential for use assmall wires in electronic devices.Materials scientists are working

hard to figure out how to createand use carbon nanotubes.Memory WireNitinol, or memory wire, was“accidentally” discovered. Whilesearching for a metal thatwouldn’t rust, a US Navy labdiscovered that one of its testmaterials had the uniqueproperty of “remembering” itsshape. After bending thematerial into a new shape, theyexposed it to heat and it snappedback in to the original form. Ofcourse the metal doesn’t reallyremember its original shape.When deformed, the molecules inthe material undergo a transitionfrom an orderly, crystallinearrangement to a more randomform. Heating the materialcauses a transition back to thecrystal form, returning theoriginal shape. Some uses fornitinol include medical devices,eyeglass frames, temperaturecontrol devices, and cellular telephone antennas.AerogelWould you believe that someone has made a solid materialthat has about the same density as air? If someone put achunk of it your hand, you might not even notice. Silicaaerogel is a foam that is like solidified smoke. Aerogel ismostly air and has remarkable thermal, optical andacoustical properties.Aerogels are fantastic insulators.You could hold a flame under achunk of the material and touchthe top without being burned.Aerogels have the potential toreplace a variety of materials ineveryday life. If researchers couldmake a transparent version of anaerogel, it would almost certainlybe used in double pane windowsto keep heat inside your house inthe winter and outside in thesummer. Opaque aerogels arealready being used as insulators.Aerogels have been put to use byNASA in several projects,including the Mars PathfinderSojourner Rover and the Stardustmission.Questions:1. Can you think of some new uses for vulcanized rubber? Howabout some uses for natural (sticky) rubber?2. Can you think of some uses for carbon nanotubes if theycould be easily manufactured? What existing materials couldthey replace? Why might one material be better thananother?3. Can you think of some uses for memory wire and aerogel?UNIT 5 MATTERChapter 11 Connection293

Magical Ice Cream Topping!Chapter 11 Activity294Have you ever put a “shell” topping on a frozen dessert likeice cream? It is a liquid in the plastic bottle, but when youput it on ice cream, it hardens very quickly to form a shell orcrust over the dessert. Let’s investigate this interestingmixture.Materials you will need2 large plastic foam cups, 1 large glass or plastic test tube,thermometer, ice water, warm waterWhat you will do1. Fill one cup about 3/4 full withice water.2. Shake the bottle of shell icecream topping well, and pourabout 15 mL into the large testtube.3. Place the thermometer in thetest tube.4. Place the test tube into the cupof ice water. Use the test tube toconstantly stir the mixture, andrecord the temperature every 15seconds. Keep stirring andrecording temperatures untilthe topping is a solid, and youcan’t move the thermometer anymore.5. Fill the second cup about 3/4 fullwith lukewarm water.6. Place the test tube into the cupof warm water. Record thetemperature every 15 seconds.Don’t try to move thethermometer until you can moveit easily.7. When you can move the thermometer, stir the toppingmixture and record temperatures until it reaches about25 degrees C.8. Carefully wash and dry the test tube and thermometer.Analyze your data• Look at the temperatures you recorded as you cooled theshell topping. It will seem almost as if the mixture“stalled” at a certain temperature. What is thistemperature?• Look at the temperatures you recorded as you heated theshell topping. Is the “stalled” temperature about the sameas it was when you cooled the mixture?What happened?Many mixtures will break down and separate when heatedor cooled, but shell topping doesn’t do this. Shell ice creamtopping contains a substance called lecithin. This is amolecule that stabilizes the mixture, so it acts like one puresubstance when heated or cooled. Pure substances (and somestable mixtures) have unique freezing and melting points.7 °C is the approximate freezing and melting point of onebrand of magic shell topping. Did you notice your stalledtemperature? If so, you discovered the temperature at whichyour brand of shell topping freezes and melts!Applying your knowledgea. When you cooled and then heated the shell topping, thetemperature “stalled.” What was happening at thistemperature?b. What would magic shell topping be like if the freezing/meltingpoint was 20 °C? What about if it was 0 °C?c. Make a cooling curve graph and a heating curve graph. Placetime on the x axis and temperature on the y axis. Label thearea of your cooling graph where freezing occurred. Label thearea of your heating graph where melting occurred.

Chapter 12The Physical Properties ofMatterWill it float or will it sink? If you are designing ships, this is acrucial question. The largest ship in the world is the JahreViking, an oil-carrying tanker. This super-sized ship is 1,504 feetlong and 264 feet wide, longer than 5 football fields laid end-toend!If the Empire State building was laid on its side, the JahreViking would be longer by 253 feet. Crew members use bicyclesto get from place to place onboard. The ship is too large to fitthrough the Panama or Suez canals, and it can’t dock in many ofthe world’s seaports. The Jahre Viking is largely constructed ofsteel. How can a big, heavy ship like this actually float? By thetime you finish studying this chapter, you will be able to explainhow ships and boats of all shapes and sizes can float.1. What is density and how can you measure it?2. What two things does density depend on?3. How does a steel ship float when a steel marblesinks?

12.1DensityWhen you think about the many kinds of matter you come into contact with every day,what properties come to mind? Some matter is solid and hard, like steel and wood. Somematter is liquid like water, or a gas like air. Within the category of solid matter, thereare many varying properties. For instance, a block of wood and a block of steel may bethe same size but one has a lot more mass than the other. Because of that difference inmass, wood floats in water and steel sinks. Whether an object floats or sinks in water isDensityrelated to theisobject’sa propertydensity. Thisof matterchapter will explain density, a property of all matter.Density per unit is volume mass Density describes how much mass is in a given volume of a material.Steel has high density; it contains 7.8 grams of mass per cubiccentimeter. Aluminum, as you might predict, has a lower density; aone-centimeter cube has a mass of only 2.7 grams.density - the mass of matter perunit volume; density is typicallyexpressed in units of grams permilliliter (g/mL), grams per cubiccentimeter (g/cm 3 ), or kilogramsper cubic meter (kg/m 3 ).7.8 g 2.7 g 1.0 gSteel 7.8 g Aluminum 2.7 g Water 1.0 gThe water density and air of Liquids and gases are matter and have density. The density of wateris about one gram per cubic centimeter. The density of air is lower, ofcourse—much lower. The air in your classroom has a density of about0.001 grams per cubic centimeter (Figure 12.1).Figure 12.1: The density of steel,aluminum, water, and air expressed ingrams per milliliter (1 mL = 1 cm 3 ).298 UNIT 5 MATTER

CHAPTER 12: THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIESOF MATTERVolume Volume Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. The units used tomeasure volume depend on whether the object is solid or liquid. Thevolume of solids is measured in cubic centimeters (cm 3 ) or cubicmeters (m 3 ). The volume of liquids is measured in milliliters (mL) orliters (L). One cubic centimeter is the same volume as one milliliter.Measuring the volume of liquidsYou can measuring the volume of liquids by pouring them into agraduated cylinder. The graduated cylinder has markings that showvolume. To read a graduated cylinder correctly, follow these two rules:1. Read the mark at eye level.2. You will notice that the surface of the liquid forms a curve ratherthan a straight line (Figure 12.2). This curve is called themeniscus. Read the volume at the center of the meniscus.Volume of solids You have probably already learned to measure the volume of somesolid shapes. The volume of a rectangular solid (a shoebox shape), forexample, is found by multiplying length times width times height. Thevolume of a sphere is 4/3r 3 , with r equal to the radius of the sphere.displacement ThemethodHow you make the measurementYou can find the volume of an irregular shape using a technique calleddisplacement. To displace means to “take the place of” or to “pushaside.” You can find the volume of an irregularly shaped object byputting it in water and measuring the amount of water displaced.You can use the displacement method to find the volume of anordinary item like a house key. Fill a 100-mL graduated cylinder with50 mL of water (Figure 12.3). Gently slide the key into the water. Thewater level in the container will rise, because the key displaced, orpushed aside, some water. If the level now reads 53.0 mL, you knowthat the key displaced 3.0 mL of water. The volume of the key, or ofany object you measure in this way, is equal to the volume of the waterit displaces. The key has a volume of 3.0 milliliters (mL), or 3.0 cubiccentimeters (cm 3 ).Figure 12.2: The meniscus of waterhas a concave shape.

The density of water is one gram permilliliter. That means 1 milliliter of water has a mass of 1 gram, and100 milliliters of water a mass of 100 grams.Some problems use density in units of grams per cubic centimeter(g/cm 3 ). Since one milliliter is exactly the same volume as one cubiccentimeter, the units of g/cm 3 and g/mL are actually the same. Formeasuring large objects, it is more convenient to use density in unitsof kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m 3 ). Table 12.1 gives the densities ofsome common substances in both units.To convert from one unit of density to the other, remember that1 g/cm 3 is equal to 1,000 kg/m 3 . To go from g/cm 3 to kg/m 3 , youmultiply by 1,000. For example, the density of ice is 0.92 g/cm 3 .This is the same as 920 kg/m 3 .To go from kg/m 3 to g/cm 3 , you divide by 1,000. For example, thedensity of aluminum is 2,700 kg/m 3 . Dividing by 1,000 gives a densityof 2.7 g/cm 3 .mass A reference of 1 cm3 book of tile. lists the density of ceramic tile as 2,650 kg/m3.

Density of common materialsMaterial is independent densityof shapetypically Strong solidshigher density haveSoft typically materialslower density haveLiquids be less tend dense tothan the solids same ofmaterialWater is an exceptionDensity is a property of material independent of quantity or shape.For example, a steel nail and a steel cube have different amounts ofmatter and therefore different masses (Figure 12.5). They also havedifferent volumes. But they have the same density. Dividing mass byvolume gives the same result for the nail and the cube.Solids that are strong, such as steel, typically have high density. Highdensity means there are many atoms per cubic centimeter. Manyatoms in a material means many bonds between atoms, and thosebonds are what ultimately create strength.Solids with low density, such as cork or foam, are often used ascushioning material. Low density means there are relatively largespaces between atoms. That means materials may be compressedrelatively easily, which is why foam and other low-density substancesmake good packing materials.The density of a liquid is usually a littleless than the density of the same materialin solid form. For example, the density ofsolid solder is 10 g/mL. The density ofliquid solder is 9.5 g/mL. The density of aliquid is lower because the atoms are notpacked as uniformly as they are in thesolid. Picture a brand-new box of toyblocks. When you open the box, you seethe blocks tightly packed in a repeatingpattern, like the atoms in a solid. Nowimagine dumping the blocks out of thebox, and then trying to pour them backinto the original tight packing pattern. The jumbled blocks take upmore space, like the atoms in a liquid (Figure 12.6).Water is an exception to this rule. The density of solid water, or ice, isless than the density of liquid water.CHAPTER 12: THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIESOF MATTERSteel densitySteel cubeVolume: 10.0 cm 3Mass: 78 gDensity: 7.8 g/cm 3NailVolume: 1.6 cm 3Mass: 12.5 gDensity: 7.8 g/cm 3Figure 12.5: The density of a steelnail is the same as the density of a solidcube of steel.Figure 12.6: The same number(or mass) of blocks arranged in a tight,repeating pattern take up less spacethan when they are jumbled up.12.1 301 DENSITY

Determining densityMeasuring To find the density of a material, you need to know the mass anddensity volume of a sample of the material. You can calculate the densityfrom the formula below.Calculating volumedensity Calculatemass and fromvolumeFor simple shapes you can calculate the volume. The volume ofspheres, cylinders, and rectangular solids is given in Figure 12.7.When calculating volume, all of the units of length involved in thecalculation must be the same. For example, if you want volume incubic centimeters, all of the measurements in the calculation must bein centimeters.Look The nuts at Figure12.8. displace 13 A mL student of water. measures Calculate the the mass density of five of steel the nuts steel to in be the 96.2 nuts. g.1.

12.2BuoyancyIf you drop a steel marble into a glass of water, it sinks to the bottom. The steel does notfloat because it has a greater density than the water. And yet many ships are made ofsteel. How does a steel ship float when a steel marble sinks? The answer has to do withWeightgravity andandweight.buoyancyWeight are not and the mass We all tend to use the terms weight and mass interchangeably. InsameBuoyancy is a forcePushing a ball underwater304 UNIT 5 MATTERscience however, weight and mass are not the same thing. Mass is afundamental property of matter. Weight is a force caused by Earth’sgravity. It is easy to confuse mass and weight because heavy objects(more weight) have lots of mass and light objects (less weight) havelittle mass.It is much easier to lift yourself in a swimming pool than to liftyourself on land. That is because the water in the pool exerts anupward force on you that acts in a direction opposite to your weight(Figure 12.9). We call this force buoyancy. Buoyancy is a measure ofthe upward force that a fluid exerts on an object that is submerged.WeightBuoyant forceStrongerbuoyantforceThe strength of thebuoyant force on anobject in water dependson the volume of theobject that isunderwater. Supposeyou have a large beachball you want tosubmerge in a pool. Asyou keep pushing downward on the ball, you notice the buoyant forcegetting stronger and stronger. The greater the part of the ball youmanage to push underwater, the stronger the force trying to push itback up. The strength of the buoyant force is proportional to thevolume of the part of the ball that is submerged.buoyancy - the measure of theupward force that a fluid exerts onan object that is submerged.Figure 12.9: The water in the poolexerts an upward force on your body, sothe net force on you is lessened.

Archimedes’ principleArchimedes’ What isprinciple?In the third century BCE, a Greek mathematician named Archimedesrealized that buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displacedby an object. We call this relationship Archimedes’ principle. Forexample, suppose a rock with a volume of 1,000 cubic centimeters isdropped into water (Figure 12.10). The rock displaces 1,000 cm 3 ofwater, which has a mass of 1 kilogram. The buoyant force on the rockis the weight of 1 kilogram of water, which is 9.8 newtons.CHAPTER 12: THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIESOF MATTERArchimedes’ principle - statesthat the buoyant force is equal tothe weight of the fluid displaced byan object.Free bodydiagramFree bodydiagramNN29.4 NMass = 3 kgVolume = 1000 cm 31020304050Scale29.4 NWeight29.4 N19.6 N1020304050Scale19.6 NWeight29.4 NBuoyantforce9.8 NA simple buoyancy experimentCalculating the buoyant forceWaterLook at the illustration above. A simple experiment can be doneto measure the buoyant force on a rock (or any object) using aspring scale. Suppose you have a rock with a volume of 1,000 cubiccentimeters and a mass of 3 kilograms. In air, the scale shows therock’s weight as 29.4 newtons. The rock is then gradually immersed ina container of water, but not allowed to touch the bottom or sides ofthe container. As the rock enters the water, the reading on the scaledecreases. When the rock is completely submerged, the scale reads19.6 newtons.Subtracting the two scale readings, 29.4 newtons and 19.6 newtons,results in a difference of 9.8 newtons. This is the buoyant force exertedon the rock, and it is the same as the weight of the 1,000 cubiccentimeters of water the rock displaced.Volume of rock= 1000 cm 3Buoyant force on rock= 9.8 NFigure 12.10: A rock with a volumeof 1,000 cm 3 experiences a buoyant forceof 9.8 newtons.12.2 BUOYANCYVolume ofdisplaced water= 1000 cm 3Weight ofdisplaced water= 9.8 N305

Sinking and floatingbuoyant Comparing Buoyancy explains why some objects sink and others float. Aand weight force submerged object floats to the surface if the buoyant force is greaterthan its weight (Figure 12.11). If the buoyant force is less than itsweight, then the object sinks.Equilibrium Suppose you place a block of foam in a tub of water. The block sinkspartially below the surface. Then it floats without sinking anyfarther. The upward buoyant force perfectly balances the downwardforce of gravity (the block’s weight). But how does the buoyant force“know” how strong it needs to be to balance the weight?BuoyantforceWeightBuoyantforceWeightBuoyantforceDenser objects float lower in the waterYou can see the answer to this question in the illustration above. If afoam block and a wood block of the same size are both floating, thewood block sinks farther into the water. Wood has a greater density,so the wood block weighs more. A greater buoyant force is needed tobalance the wood block’s weight, so the wood block displaces morewater. The foam block has to sink only slightly to displace water witha weight equal to the block’s weight. A floating object displaces justenough water to make the buoyant force equal to the object’s weight.WeightFigure 12.11: Whether an objectsinks or floats depends on how thebuoyant force compares with the weight.306 UNIT 5 MATTER

Density and buoyancyComparing If you know an object’s density, you can immediately predict whetherdensities it will sink or float—without measuring its weight. An object sinks ifits density is greater than that of the liquid it is submerged into. Itfloats if its density is less than that of the liquid.the Two same balls volume withbut densities differentTo see why, picture dropping two balls into a pool of water. The ballshave the same size and volume but have different densities. The steelball has a density of 7.8 g/mL which is greater than the density ofwater (1.0 g/mL). The wood ball has a density of 0.75 g/mL, which isless than the density of water.CHAPTER 12: THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIESOF MATTERAn object with anaverage densityGREATER than thedensity of water willsink.An object with anaverage density LESSthan the density ofwater will float.Why one sinks and the other floatsWhen they are completely underwater, both balls have the samebuoyant force because they displace the same volume of water.However, the steel ball has more weight since it has a higher density.The steel ball sinks because steel’s higher density makes the ballheavier than the same volume of water. The wood ball floats becausewood’s lower density makes the wood ball lighter than the samevolume of displaced water.Thesteel ballsinksWeightThe buoyant forceis the same!The weight is differentWeightThewood ballfloatsFigure 12.12: The meaning ofaverage density.12.2 BUOYANCY307

Boats and average densityHow boats do float? steel If you place a solid chunk of steel in water, it immediately sinksbecause the density of steel (7.8 g/cm 3 ) is much greater than thedensity of water (1.0 g/cm 3 ). So how is it that thousands of huge shipsmade of steel are floating around the world? The answer is thataverage density determines whether an object sinks or floats.Solid because steel sinksdenser than it iswaterTo make steel float, you have to reduce the average density somehow.Making the steel hollow does exactly that. Making a boat hollowexpands its volume a tremendous amount without changing its mass.Steel is so strong that it is quite easy to reduce the average density ofa boat to 10 percent of the density of water by making the shell of theboat relatively thin.Increasingdecreases volumedensityAh, you say, but that is an empty ship. True, so the density of a newship must be designed to be under 1.0 g/cm 3 to allow for cargo. Whenobjects are placed in a boat, the boat’s average density increases. Theboat must sink deeper to displace more water and increase thebuoyant force (Figure 12.13). If you have seen a loaded cargo ship,you might have noticed that it sat lower in the water than anunloaded ship nearby. In fact, the limit to how much a ship can carryis set by how low in the water the ship can get before rough seascause waves to break over the sides of the sip.Figure 12.13: A full ship has moremass than an empty ship. This means afull ship must displace more water (sinkdeeper) to make the buoyant force largeenough to balance the ship’s weight.308 UNIT 5 MATTER

12.3Properties of MaterialsWe choose materials to have the properties we need. We use concrete and steel forbuildings and bridges because these materials are strong. We use foam for sofa cushionsbecause foam is soft. This section is about the properties of materials.PressureLiquid and gas are fluidsAfluid is a form of matter that flows when any force is applied, nomatter how small. Liquids are one kind of fluid, gases are another.You have seen water flow from a faucet (or overflow a sink) and feltcool air flow through an open window.Forces in fluids Think about what happens when you push down on an inflatedballoon. The downward force you apply creates forces that actsideways as well as down. This is very different from what happenswhen you push down on a bowling ball. Because fluids change shape,forces in fluids are more complicated than forces in solids.fluid - a form of matter that flowswhen a force is applied.pressure - a force applied to afluid. Pressure acts in alldirections.BalloonBowling ballApplied forceFluid(gas)SolidPressurePressure A force applied to a fluid creates pressure. Pressure acts in allFigure 12.14: The units of pressure.directions, not just the direction of the applied force. When youinflate a car tire, you are increasing the pressure in the tire. Thisforce acts up, down, and sideways in all directions inside the tire.Units of pressure The units of pressure are force divided by area (Figure 12.14). If yourcar tires are inflated to 35 pounds per square inch (35 psi), then aforce of 35 pounds acts on every square inch of area inside the tire.The pressure on the bottom of the tire is what holds up the car(Figure 12.15)! The metric unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa). Onepascal is one newton of force per square meter of area (N/m 2 ).310 UNIT 5 MATTERFigure 12.15: The pressure insideyour tire is what holds your car up.

Pressure, energy, and forceThe atomic explanation levelPressure is potential energyWhat causes pressure? On the atomic level, pressure comes fromcollisions between atoms and molecules. Look at Figure 12.16.Molecules move around and bounce off each other and off the wallsof a jar. It takes force to make a molecule reverse its direction andbounce the other way. The bouncing force is applied to the molecule bythe inside surface of the jar. According to Newton’s third law, an equaland opposite reaction force is exerted by the molecule on the jar. Thereaction force is what creates the pressure acting on the inside surfaceof the jar. Trillions of molecules per second are constantly bouncingagainst every square millimeter of the inner surface of the jar.Pressure comes from the collisions of those many, many atoms.Differences in pressure create potential energy in fluids just likedifferences in height create potential energy from gravity. A pressuredifference of one newton per m 2 is equivalent to a potential energy ofone joule per m 3 . We get useful work when we let a fluid underpressure expand. In a car engine high pressure is created by anexploding gasoline-air mixture. This pressure pushes the cylinders ofthe engine down, doing work that moves the car.CHAPTER 12: THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIESOF MATTERFigure 12.16: Pressure comes fromconstant collisions of trillions of atoms.Car tires are usually inflated to apressure of 32–40 pounds persquare inch (psi). Racing bicycletires are inflated to much higherpressure, 100–110 psi. A bicycleand rider are much lighter than acar! Why is the pressure in abicycle tire higher than thepressure in a car tire?12.3 PROPERTIESOF MATERIALS311

Energy conservation and Bernoulli’s principleBernoulli’s principleEverything obeys the law of energy conservation. It just gets trickierwhen talking about a fluid (liquid or gas)! You still have potential andkinetic energy, but you also have pressure energy. If friction isneglected, the total energy stays constant for any particular sampleof fluid. This relationship is known as Bernoulli’s principle.Streamlines Streamlines are imaginary lines drawn to show the flow of fluid. Wedraw streamlines so that they are always parallel to the direction offlow. If water is coming out of a hole in a bucket, the streamlines looklike Figure 12.17. Bernoulli’s principle tells us that the energy of anysample of fluid moving along a streamline is constant.Bernoulli’s principle - arelationship that describes energyconservation in a fluid.The variables three Bernoulli’s principle says the three variables of height, pressure, andspeed are related by energy conservation. Height is associated withpotential energy, speed with kinetic energy, and pressure withpressure energy. If one variable increases along a streamline, at leastone of the other two must decrease. For example, if speed goes up,pressure goes down.The airfoil One of the most important applications of Bernoulli’s principle is theairfoil shape of wings on a plane (Figure 12.18). The shape of anairfoil causes air flowing along the top (A) to move faster than airflowing along the bottom (B). According to Bernoulli’s principle, if thespeed goes up, the pressure goes down. When a plane is moving, thepressure on the top surface of the wings is lower than the pressurebeneath the wings. The difference in pressure is what creates the liftforce that supports the plane in the air.312 UNIT 5 MATTERFigure 12.17: A streamline is animaginary line tracing the flow of a singleparticle of fluid.Figure 12.18: Streamlines showing airmoving around an airfoil (wing) that ismoving from left to right.

Mechanical propertiesThe meaning of “strength”When you apply a force to anobject, the object may change itssize, shape, or both. The conceptofstrength describes the abilityof a solid object to maintain itsshape even when force isapplied. The strength of anobject depends on the answers tothe two questions in theillustration at the left.Elasticity If you pull on a rubber band, its shape changes. If you let it go, therubber band returns to its original shape. Rubber bands can stretchmany times their original length before breaking, a property calledelasticity.Elasticity describes a solid’s ability to be stretched and thenreturn to its original size. This property also gives objects the ability tobounce and to withstand impact without breaking.Brittleness Brittleness is defined as the tendency of a solid to crack or breakbefore stretching very much (Figure 12.19). Glass is a good example ofa brittle material. You cannot stretch glass even one-tenth of a percent(0.001) before it breaks. To stretch or shape glass you need to heat theglass until it is almost melted. Heating causes molecules to movefaster, temporarily breaking the forces that hold them together.Ductility One of the most useful properties of metals is that they are ductile. Aductile material can be bent a relatively large amount withoutbreaking. For example, a steel fork can be bent in half and the steeldoes not break. A plastic fork cracks when it is bent only a smallamount. Steel’s high ductility means steel can be formed into usefulshapes by pounding, rolling, and bending. These processes woulddestroy a brittle material like glass.CHAPTER 12: THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIESOF MATTERstrength - the ability to maintainshape under the application offorce.elasticity - the ability to bestretched or compressed and thenreturn to original size.brittleness - the tendency tocrack or break; the opposite ofelasticity.ductility - the ability to bendwithout breaking.Figure 12.19: Brittleness is thetendency of a solid to crack when force isapplied.12.3 PROPERTIESOF MATERIALS313

The arrangement of atoms and molecules in solidsCrystalline amorphous andsolidsCrystalline solidsAmorphous solidsThe atoms or molecules in a solid are arranged in two ways. If thereis an orderly, repeating pattern, the solid is called crystalline.Examples of crystalline solids include salts, minerals, and metals. Ifthe particles are arranged in a random way, the solid is amorphous.Examples of amorphous solids include rubber, wax, and glass.Most solids on Earth are crystalline. Some materials, like salt, existas single crystals and you can see the arrangement of atoms reflectedin the shape of the crystal. If you look at a crystal of table salt undera microscope, you see that it is cubic in shape. If you could examinethe arrangement of atoms, you would see that the shape of the crystalcomes from the cubic arrangement of sodium and chlorine atoms(Figure 12.20). Metals are also crystalline. They don’t look like“crystals” because solid metal is made from very tiny crystals fusedtogether in a jumble of different orientations (Figure 12.21).The atoms or molecules of amorphous solids are randomly arranged.While amorphous solids also hold their shape, they are often softerand more elastic than crystalline solids. This is because a molecule inan amorphous solid is not tightly connected to as many neighboringmolecules as it would be in a crystalline solid. Glass is a commonamorphous solid. Glass is hard and brittle because it is made frommolten silica crystals that are cooled quickly, before they have time tore-crystallize. The rapid cooling leaves the silica molecules in arandom arrangement. Plastic is another useful amorphous solid.crystalline - solid with a regular,orderly arrangement of atoms.amorphous - solid with a random,jumbled arrangement of atoms.Figure 12.20: The shape of a saltcrystal is due to the arrangement of atoms.314 UNIT 5 MATTERFigure 12.21: Metallic crystals insteel (high magnification)

Silly Putty®: Solid or Liquid?Chapter 12 Connection316Silly Putty—it’s been apopular party favor formore than fifty years.Your parents probablyplayed with it when theywere kids. Some peoplecall it America’s longestlasting fad.It’s easy to understandwhy people like SillyPutty. Roll it into a ball,and you can bounce itaround the room. Pull onit slowly and it willstretch out like a longlazy snake. Give it aquick yank and it willbreak with a satisfyingsnap.Have you ever tried to smash a ball of Silly Putty with ahammer? It keeps its shape every time. However, if yougently press on it with your thumb, you can flatten it easily.If you leave a ball of Silly Putty on your dresser overnight, inthe morning you’ll see that it flattened out by itself while youwere sleeping.What’s going on here?Silly Putty isn’t easy to categorize. It holds it shape whenhammered, yet flows into a puddle when left aloneovernight. No wonder the people who make Silly Putty call it“a real solid liquid.”Rheologists (scientists who study how matter flows and/ordeforms) have another term for Silly Putty: it’s a viscoelasticliquid.Viscoelastic is a compound word (like snowman). The viscopartcomes from the word viscous, which means “resistant toflow.” Thick, gooey, slow-flowing liquids like hot fudge sauceare viscous. Silly Putty is like that.You’re probably already familiar with the second half of theword. Elastic, in physics terms, describes a material thatreturns to its original shape when deformed.So, rheologists describe Silly Putty as a slow-flowing, elasticliquid.How did it get that way?It’s not too surprising that Silly Putty bounces, because itwas accidentally invented by a chemist looking for asubstitute for rubber. In 1943, James Wright, a researcherfor General Electric, dropped some boric acid into silicone oil,creating a gooey compound.This compound, first called “nutty putty,” was sent toengineersaround theworld—but nopractical useswere found. In1949, a mannamed PeterHodgsondecided to sell itas a toy. Heborrowed $147to buy a batchfrom General Electric, divided the batch into one-ouncelumps, and placed each lump into a plastic egg. He renamedthe compound “Silly Putty” after the main ingredient,silicone.

A New Yorker magazine reporter wrote an article about SillyPutty in 1950, and afterward Hodgson received 250,000orders in three days. Silly Putty was a hit!Inside Silly PuttyThe silicone oil used to make Silly Putty is known tochemists as polydimethylsiloxane, or PDMS. PDMS is apolymer, which means each molecule is made up of longchain of identical smaller molecules.When boric acid is added to the long chains of PDMS, boroncrosslinks begin to form. This means that the boron hookschains of PDMS molecules together like this:These boron crosslinks are not very strong. Remember thatmolecules in solids and liquids are always in motion. Thismotion breaks boron crosslinks, but over time new crosslinksform. This action is called dynamic (changing) crosslinking.Because of this dynamic crosslinking, Silly Putty reacts oneway to quick forces and another way to long-acting forces.When you strike Silly Putty with a hammer, the Silly Puttyreacts like an elastic solid: it bounces back. That’s becausemost of the boron crosslinks remain in place during the splitsecond of the hammer’s strike.When you leave a ball of Silly Putty untouched overnight,the boron crosslinks that help Silly Putty hold its shape haveabout eight hours to break down. Over that time, molecularmotion breaks many of the original crosslinks. Gravitationalforce constantly pulls the PDMS molecules downward, andin the morning you’re left with a Silly Putty puddle.Questions:1. Silly Putty does have some practical uses, despite the factthat engineers in the 1940’s couldn’t think of any. Find outabout these using the Internet, or come up with one on yourown.2.

The homemade compound usesdifferent molecules to form the polymer chains, but the boroncrosslinks work the same way.What you will needWhite glue and water solution made in a 1:1 ratioBorax and water solution: mix 5 mL of Borax in 60 mL ofwater (Borax powder is found in supermarket laundrydetergent aisles)8-ounce paper cupStirring stick (A tongue depressor works well)What you will do1. Pour 60 mL of the white glue solution into the cup.2. Add 30 mL of the borax solution.3. Stir the mixture for 2-3 minutes.4. Remove the mixture from the cup and knead it with yourhands. It will be sticky at first. Keep kneading until it iseasy to pull the Putty away from your hands in a singlelump.Applying your knowledgea. Develop a class procedure for measuring the Putty’sbounciness and stretchiness. Compare your results withyour classmates’. Was every batch of Putty the same? Ifnot, can you suggest reasons for the differences?b. There are lots of experiments you could do with your homemadePutty. Here are a few examples:1. How does temperature affect bounciness?2. Does stretchiness change over time?Choose one of these questions or make up your own question toanswer about your Putty.c. State your hypothesis.d. Develop a procedure for testing your hypothesis. Remember,only one variable can be changed!e. Create a data table to record your results. Here’s a sample:-10°C20°C5°C35°C50°CTemperatureBounce height when dropped 50 cmf. Carry out your experiment and record your results. Whatconclusion(s) can you draw?g. Share your results with your classmates.318
