Density formula
Density = mass (kg)
————–
Volume (m*3)
What can the particle model be used to explain (hint - 2 things)
• the different states of matter
• differences in density.
What are changes of state and how are they different from chemical changes
Changes of state are physical changes which differ from chemical changes because the material recovers its original properties if the change is reversed.
What is internal energy
Internal energy is the energy stored in a system by the atoms and molecules that make up that system
How does heating affect internal energy
Heating changes the energy stored within the system by increasing the energy of the particles that make up the system. This either raises the temperature of the system or produces a change of state.
How do you calculate change in thermal energy (hint - __x__x__)
Energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change
What is specific heat capacity
The amount of energy needed to heat 1 kg of a substance by 1* Celsius
Note - Remember if questions involve change in state and ask for new volume/pressure, the mass is the same!
Note - Remember if questions involve change in state and ask for new volume/pressure, the mass is the same!
What does heating a system do
- Heating increases the energy the particles have
- This increases the internal energy
-This either raises the temperature of the system
-Or produces a change of state
What is specific latent heat
- The amount of energy needed to change the state of 1kg of a substance without a change in temperature
