· Magnetic materials are attracted by magnets.

· Can you list the 5 magnetic materials?

(3 elements, 2 compounds)

Answer

3 elements

1. Fe (iron)

2. Co (cobalt)

3. Ni (nickel)

2 compounds

1. Steel (an alloy of iron)

2. Fe₃O₄ (magnetite, one of the oxides of iron)

And the exceptions that prove the rule… ?

· Magnet moves water - diamagnetism

· Levitating frog...

· Ferrofluids…

· 6.2 recall that magnets repel and attract other magnets, and attract magnetic substances

Question

You have 3 bars that all look the exactly the same but they are made from:

1. a magnet

2. steel

3. aluminium

You are given a horseshoe magnet. How can you use this to tell which bar is which?

Answer

1. The bar magnet will be attracted to one pole of the horseshoe magnet and repelled by the other

2. The steel bar will be attracted to both poles of the horseshoe magnet

3. The aluminium bar will be attracted to neither pole of the horseshoe magnet

Step 1 = Unscramble the Keywords and Mixed Definitions sheet.

4 options:

· Kinaesthetic Learners = Cut and Stick into your exercise book. Take a photo of your work and send to your blog

· Kinaesthetic Learners = Cut and Paste in the Word document and send to your blog

· Visual Learners = Copy out into your exercise book. Take a photo of your work and send to your blog

· Visual Learners = Type out and send to your blog

Step 2 = Check your keywords by using one of the following online games. Make corrections to your work in a different coloured pen/font so that you can see your mistakes clearly.

Collins, p.116

a. If we cool the gas in a rigid, sealed tin can, what happens to the pressure inside the can? (1 mark)

The pressure will decrease

b. Explain your answer to part a. by using the Kinetic Theory (4 marks)

· The volume remains the same because a tin can is a rigid container

· If the temperature decreases the gas molecules have a lower average Kinetic Energy

· So there are less collisions between the gas molecules and the walls of the container per second

(NB: Can also say that slower molecules will collide with less force) (1 mark)

· So the pressure in the container will decrease

	<<Video - Egg sucked into a bottle by Guy-Lussac's Law.flv>>

Why do the eggs get sucked into the bottles?!

Explanation

· The burning paper in the bottle heats the air in the bottle

· When the egg gets placed on top, the oxygen supply in the bottle is rapidly depleted and the paper goes out

· The bottle is sealed by the egg and now has a constant volume of gas inside

· The hot gas in the bottle now starts to cool which reduces the pressure inside the bottle

· The pressure outside the bottle remains unchanged and so there is now an unbalanced force on the egg which accelerates the egg into the bottle

· 5.17 describe the qualitative relationship between pressure and Kelvin temperature for a gas in a sealed container

Instructions

· Launch the application on this website: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/gas-properties

· Put 5 pumps of gas in

· Set volume as the Constant Parameter

· Heat to 1000K

· Watch what happens to the Pressure

Conclusion

· If you increase the temperature, you increase the pressure

Cloud formation

· Place a little water in the bottom of a 1½ litre plastic bottle

· Squeeze a few times

· Introduce a small amount of smoke

· Squeeze and release several times

· When you squeeze, the cloud disappears; when you release, the cloud reforms

Explanation

· When the pressure increases the temperature increases and vica versa

· The "cloud" is water droplets - liquid water

· When you squeeze the bottle the temperature increases and the droplets turn into water vapour

· The smoke particles are nucleating sites on which the water can condense
