Answer 21

Sublimation

Question 22

Why is changing states a reversible process?

Answer 22

It is a physical change, not chemical

Question 23

Define Evaporation

Answer 23

When a liquid turns to a gas but only on the surface of the liquid

Define Specific Heat Capacity

Answer 24

The energy required to raise 1kg of a substance by 1*C

Question 25

Equation for Specific Heat Capacity

Answer 25

ΔE=mc∆θ

SMILE
= )
: )

Answer 26

Press 5

Question 27

What does the heating graph of a solid look like?

Answer 27

Temperature on the y-axis and time on the x-axis

It is a straight line increasing, it then plateaus, increases again, plateau and increases once more.

Question 28

Define Latent Heat

Answer 28

Energy needed to change the state 1kg of a substance without a temperature change

Question 29

What does the cooling graph of a gas look like?

Answer 29

Temperature on the y-axis and time on the x-axis

It is a straight line decreasing, it then plateaus, decreasing again, plateau and decreasing once more.

Question 30

Why does a heating graph have flat sections where temperature does not increase?

Answer 30

Energy being put in is weakening or breaking the forces of attraction, not increasing kinetic energy

Question 31

What is the specific latent heat of fusion?

Answer 31

Melting

The energy requires to change 1 kg of a substances from a solid to a liquid with no temperature change

Question 32

What is the specific latent heat of vaporisation?

Answer 32

Boiling

The energy requires to change 1 kg of a substances from a liquid to a vapour with no temperature change

Question 33

What is the equation for Latent Heat?

Answer 33

Pressure is the force exerted on the surface of a container per unit of area

Question 36

How can we increase the pressure of a specific mass of a gas?

Answer 36

Increase temperature

increases average kinetic energy

Question 37

What is gas pressure at low temperature? Why?

Answer 37

Low

There are few, low energy collisions per second

Question 38

What is gas pressure at high temperature? Why?

Answer 38

High

There are many, high energy collisions per second

Question 39

What happens when particles in a gas collide with the inside of a container?

Answer 39
