After studying this chapter, students will be able to:
1. Explain changes of state and internal energy with
change in temperature (melting, boiling, freezing,
condensation, sublimation and deposition) in terms
of kinetic particle theory.
2. Distinguish between evaporation and boiling.
3. Interpret heating and cooling curves in terms of
kinetic theory
4. Interpret in terms of kinetic particle theory the effects
of changing pressure, temperature and volume of a gas on the other two with regards to Boyle’s law,
Charles’ Law, and Avogadro’s Law.
5. Explain qualitatively the effect of external pressure on rate of boiling and evaporation
6. Explain diffusion of gases in terms of kinetic particle theory.
7. Examine qualitatively the effect of molecular mass
and temperature on the rate of diffusion
8. Discuss applications of sublimation around us.
9. {Examples may include: solid air fresheners and 3D
printing}
10. Explain, with the help of kinetic particle theory, the
importance of rates of diffusion of medicines in the
body
