kinetic model ofnmatter
used to describe structural e of solids, liquids and gases
describes behaviour of matter in terms of moving particles
solid
. molecules close together
. tightly bonded to neighbours
. vibrating about fixed positions
gas
. particles broken free from their neighbours
. widely seperated
. free to move within container
in change of state, temperature
is constant
even in constant temperature part of graph
energy is still being lost
more particles movement speed
more kinetic energy
more particles disorder
more electric potential energy
electric potential energy
. close, value is large and negative
. more distance, more potential energy
. complete seperation, potential energy is maximum and zero
change of state (flat part)
. must be energy input
. temperature doesn’t not change
. molecules breaking free of one another
. increasing potential energy
between the change of state (tilted part)
. input energy increases temperature
. molecules move faster
. kinetic energy increasing
latent heat
latent = hidden
energy that goes towards breaking bonds between neighboring molecules, doesn’t cause a temperature change
at change of state
no change in kinetic energy
no change in temperature
melting takes less energy than boiling
in liquid boiling, almost all molecules have to be broken free
evaporation
the process by which a liquid becomes a gas at a temperature below its boiling point
cooling effect of evaporated liquid
. most energetic molecules escape
. avergae kinetic energy of remaining molecules is less
. less temperature
internal energy
the sum of the random distribution of kinetic and potential energies of the atoms or molecules in a system
ways of increasing the internal energy
. heating a gas - molecules vibrate more, molecules kinetic energy increases
. doing work on a gas - molecules strike and bounce off wall faster, more kinetic energy
. passing electric current through gas
ways of decreasing internal energy of gas
. loses heat ti surroundings
. expands so work is done on surroundings
first law of thermodynamics
<>U = q + W
the increase in internal energy of a body is equal ti the thermal energy transferred to it by heating plus the mechanical work done on it
<>U = q + W
first law of thermodynamics
. q is energy supplied TO thr system by heating
. W is work done ON the system
<>U
. postive value = internal energy increases = heat added TO the system = work done ON system
. negative value = internal energy decreases = heat taken AWAY from system = work done BY system
in heat is added to system
W = 0 in <>U = q + W
gas expands
work done on surroundings
