laws

Charles's and Boyle's laws

This post will be shorter than the rest, because I really don't want spend that much of time on laws. So, today, it will just be facts and some opinion.

Charles's Law: "When the temperature of a gas is elevated at constant pressure, it's volume increases." -- taken from my science book (Interactive Science: Introduction to Chemistry)

1st container: less heat=less volume
2nd container: more heat more volume

This basically means when you have some sort of gas, like helium, and you raise the heat, the volume of the gas gets larger And when the heat is lowered, so is the volume. Example is above.

Boyle's Law: When the pressure of a gas at constant temperature is increased, the volume of a gas decreases. When the pressure is decreased, the volume increased. Look at example below.

Since, today's topic was a bit boring, here are some chemistry jokes to make you laugh:


Two atoms are walking down the street.
Says one atom to the other, "Hey! I think I lost an electron!"
The other says, "Are you sure??"
"Yes, I'm positive!"

What do you do with a dead chemists?  Barium



See you guys next time with periodic tables!

changes in states of matter

Ignore Transpiration, it doesn't want to be part of the story.

The picture above me is of the water cycle! You have your sun, your water, the clouds, and everything else in between. 

You can't really have this cycle without the water, which is crucial to all living things. But, I will not talk about only water, because I have to talk about how the states keep changing. Before, that, I have a little background story that you might find amusing. If you do not want to hear it, skip the next paragraph. 

The other day, I was trying to teach my siblings about the water cycle. And it was going well; I was talking and they were on the sofa, not fidgeting. Halfway through, I realized that both my siblings were starting to fall asleep from my boring lecture. Since, I want my younger siblings to be well educated, I decided to teach them the topic a different way. By story time! So, here is the story all about the simplified and scientifically inaccurate water cycle:

Once upon a time in a vast kingdom called the Earth, there were two friends: Wally the Water, Connie the Cloud. Although, they were the best of friends, they lived very far away from each other, so it was hard for them to play together. But, in a kingdom far far away, there lived Sunny the Sun. Sunny was a very kind creature, so he would help Connie and Wally play together. Everyday in the summertime, Sunny would shine his light onto the Earth. Because Sunny was really hot, parts of Wally would evaporate-- changing from a liquid to a gas-- and go up to where Connie was. At night, when Sunny had to leave, the temperature would drop and heat energy would also lower. (Quick lesson: Thermal Energy and temperature are two different things. Thermal energy is how fast the particles in an object move. The faster the particles, the hotter an object is.)

When that happened, Wally would go through condensation to go back home. 

During the bitter winter months, Connie and Wally couldn't play together very much. Due to the freezing temperature, Wally would freeze and change from a liquid to a solid. 

However, these two friends would always stay friends. And so, Connie the Cloud and Wally the Water remained friends forever. 

the end

Hope you liked this really inaccurate story of the water cycle with accurate of the changes in states of matter! 

states

states of matter

Hello!

For my first topic, I will be talking about the states of matter, if you haven't already figured out from the title. One thing you need to know, before I go any further is that matter is that it makes up everything. 

Now that I've said that, let's begin.

The three states are: solids, liquids, and gases.

I will attempt to explain the three states of matter to you in a way that you will understand, by using an analogy.

Imagine you're at a Christmas dinner, and all of your family members are there. You have your parents, pesky  younger siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, pesky younger cousins and grandparents. After having a delicious turkey and whatever else people eat for Christmas dinner, everyone is stuffed. So, the adults, migrate to your small living room to argue about politics, brag about how their kids are better, and of course, sit around and talk boring topics you don't really about.

These adults are solids. A solid's particles are closely packed, do not move around, and only vibrate in place. Likewise, these adults, once seated on the couches, don't move. They fidget (as is human nature), but they don't get up or walk around.

If everyone just had dinner, then whose's cleaning everything up? It's obvious; since the fates seem to hate you, you're stuck with your cousins Margie and Ash to sweep up the mess, that the lazy adults won't. And so, the three of you move around freely between the kitchen and dining room, all the while feeling like lowly servants.

Liquids' particles have more room to move around, but they're still near each other. It's the same as you're doing the dishes. You wash the tableware, Ash rinses them, and Margie dries them. Although, close to each other, you and your cousins do not resemble a can of sardines, like the huddled adults in the living room.

And obviously, what Christmas dinner wouldn't have a bunch of screaming little kids? These seven pesticides called children, are currently running around your house, high on sugar, breaking everything. Like gases, which spread around trying to fill up all the space possible, there is not one inch of your house that has been untouched, due to the gas-like kids.

So, even though Christmas is one of your favorite holidays, you honestly hate any type of family gatherings.

(And if you don't celebrate Christmas, use your imagination. If you can't, then you don't have one.)

If you did not understand anything I have just explained, then look at the diagram below.

To conclude this post, he is a states of matter joke:

intro

and so this blog was created...

Hello everyone! Somehow, you have happened upon a chemistry blog. Perhaps you may have searching for a book review blog, or you accidentally clicked on some random link you found on Google, because you were bored. Either way, whomever you are, welcome to this blog!

Now for the tour! This newly created blog will have many things, including chemistry jokes that I personally find hilarious. Here's a list of a few topics I will be talking about:

• matter
• states of matter
• how matter changes
• laws (made by now deceased men)

Don't worry, I won't just be telling you about these things. I won't go, "Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space" and drone on and on basically reciting textbooks. Truth to be told, I would fall asleep if I even attempted to do that.

Therefore, you will learn chemistry by stories, videos, and pictures. 

So, please enjoy your stay here, wandering internet travelers. 

And before I forget, here's the joke of the day:

Two chemists walk into restaurant.

The first one says "I think I'll have an H2O." 

The second one says "I think I'll have an H2O too" 

The waiter serves both of them water, because he is not an idiot.
