Chapter 2 & 3 Flashcards
Energy
the ability to do work
Potential energy
energy stored for later use
kinetic energy
the energy of motion
what is heat
kinetic energy because it is associated with motion of particles
Temperature
a measure of how hot or cold a substance is compared to another substance
How does heat flow?
from a substance a higher temperature to a substance at lower temperature until the temperatures are the same
3 types of thermometer scales
- Fahrenheit
- Celsius
- Kelvin
Fahrenheit •formula •how many units is it based on •freezing point •boiling point
- (1.8 x C) + 32
- based on 180 units
- 32 F
- 212 F
Celsius •formula •how many units is it based on •freezing point •boiling point
- (F-32) / 1.8
- based on 100 units
- 0 C
- 100 C
Kelvin •formula •how many units is it based on •freezing point •boiling point
- C + 273.15
- based on 100 units
- 273 K
- 373 K
hypothermia
•F
•C
- less than 96.8 F
* less than 36 C
“Normal”
•F
•C
- 98.6 F
* 37 C
Normal Range
•F
•C
- 96.8 - 100.4 F
* 36 - 38 C
Hyperthermia
•F
•C
- greater than 100.4 F
* greater than 38 C
Death
•F
•C
- greater than 105.8 F
* greater than 41 C
How is heat measured?
in Joules or calories
Calories
defined amount of energy
Conversions of joules, calories, and kilocalories •1 calorie (cal) = \_\_ joules •1 kJ = \_\_ joules •1 kJ = \_\_ calories (cal) •1 kJ = \_\_ Calories (Cal)
- 4,184 J
- 1,000 J
- 1,000 J
- 1,000 cal
- 1 Calorie
1 calorie is the energy required to…
raise the temp of one gram of water by 1 C
Specific heat •definition •allows comparison... •example: Earth's moon (High 107 C, low -1576 C) Mars (High 20 C, low -60 C) Which one has a larger specific heat?
- the amount of heat that raises the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1 C
- of heat transfer between substances
- mars rock
For the same amount of heat added, a substance with a large specific heat
•has a smaller increase in temperature
•has a greater increase in temperature
•has a smaller increase in temperature
When water cools, the surrounding air
•cools
•warms
warms
Sand in the desert is hot in the day and cool at night. Sand must have a
•high or low specific heat
low specific heat
calorimeter
•what is it used for
•what does it contain
•what 2 things does it indicate
- used to measure heat transfer
- contains a reaction chamber and thermometer
- indicates heat lost by a sample
- indicates the heat gained by water
