Provide the term: An explanation of how the particles in gases behave.
kinetic theory
The kinetic theory is also known as the kinetic molecular theory.
What are the four assumptions of the kinetic theory?
PRCE
- All matter is composed of tiny particles1
- These particles are in constant, random motion
- The particles collide with each other and with the walls of any container in which they are held.
- The amount of energy that the particles lose from these collisions is negligible.
PARTICLES, RANDOM, COLLIDE, ENERGY
1 Atoms, molecules, and ions
The specific heat of a material is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 __ of that material by 1 ___.
kg,˚C
Provide the units for specific heat.
joules per kilogram degree Celsius
J/kg˚C
Will aluminum or copper take longer to heat to 100˚C?
Aluminum
It has a higher specific heat, so it will take longer to heat up and cool down.
What is the heat transfer equation?
Q = m * ∆T * Cp
Q - heat (J)
m - mass (kg)
∆T - change in temperature (K or ˚C)
Cp - specific heat (J/kg*K)
