P1. Topic 3- Particle Model Of Matter 🥈 Flashcards
What are the three states of matter?
Solids, liquids and gases
How are particles in a solid arranged?
-close together
-regular pattern
-vibrate but do not move from place to place
How are particles in a liquid arranged?
-close together
-not arranged in a regular pattern
-particles can move around each other
How are particles in a gas arranged?
-far away
-not arranged in any pattern
-move rapidly
What is the equation for density
density = mass/volume
what is the unit for density
kg/m^3
A block of wood has a mass of 150kg and a volume of 0.3m^3. Calculate the density.
500kg/m^3
Do solids usually have a high or low density?
High
Do liquids usually have a high or low density?
High
Do gases usually have a high or low density?
Low
What is the definition of internal energy?
The energy stored in a system by particles (total kinetic energy and potential energy)
What is the name for when a solid turns into a liquid?
Melting
What is the name for when a liquid turns into a gas?
Boiling
What is the name for when a gas turns into liquid?
Condensation
What is the name for when a liquid turns into a solid?
Freezing
What happens between state changes?
Internal energy increases/ decreases
What is the name for when a solid turns into a gas?
Sublimation
What happens to mass between state changes?
It remains the same as mass is conserved
Are changes of state physical changes or chemical changes?
Physical
What is evaporation?
When only the particles on the surface of a liquid have enough energy to turn into a gas
What is the definition of specific heat capacity?
The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 degrees celsius
What is the equation for specific heat capacity?
change in thermal energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change
Calculate the energy required to increase the temperature of 2kg of water from 20°C to 100°C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 j/kg°C.
change in thermal energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change
672 kJ
What is the unit for specific heat capacity
J/kg°C
