Study Guide for Matter and Solutions TEST
TOPIC & Objectives
Kinetic Theory of Matter
Students will:
-Explain the kinetic
theory of matter
-Describe particle
movement in the four
states of matter
-Explain particle behavior
at the melting and boiling
-Review the concept of
density
-use density to identify &
compare materials
Solutions
Students will:
-determine how things
dissolve
- describe 3 types of
solutions and how they
are made
-explain Archimedes’,
Pascal’s & Bernoulli’s
principles
- explain how a gas
changes when pressure,
volume or temperature is
changed
-explain how we use
these laws and principles
Properties of fluids
Students will:
-determine what affects
rate of dissolving in gases
and liquids
-express concentrations
of solution
-describe effects of
pressure and temp on
solubility of gases
BIG IDEAS
3 parts of the kinetic theory
States/phases of matter
- Amount of energy each phase has
- Properties of each phase (shape and
volume).
Density
-calculating volume and density
-identifying a material based on its
density
- interpreting graphs

Short Answer questions that will be on the test:
1. Use your understanding of the kinetic theory of matter (particle
movement) and the gas laws to explain why aerosol cans have a
“do not incinerate [burn]” warning printed on them. Which gas
law would you use to explain this?
2. Explain why a steel ball sinks but giant slips made of steel float.
Use density, buoyancy and Archimedes’ Principle in your
explanation.
3. Use your understanding of solubility of gases and temperature
to explain how keeping a carbonated beverage capped and cool
helps keep if from going “flat.”
