Particles Flashcards
(33 cards)
Is a change of state physical or chemical
Physical- no new substances produced
(Mass always stays same)
How to calculate density
Density = mass/ volume
What is density measured in
Kg/ m cubed
What is the temperature of a substance based on
Average kinetic energy of its particles
True or false, temperature changes during change of state
False- it doesn’t change
What is internal energy
Total kinetic and potential energy of particles in substance
What is potential energy
How far away particles are
More heat= particles further away= more potential energy
What is density a measure of
How much mass there is in a given volume of a substance
Density= mass/ volume
What special piece of equipment is used to find volume of irregular object
Eureka can
Name of change of state from gas to solid
Deposition
Name of change of state from solid to gas
Sublimation
Sublimation vs deposition
Both= changes of state
Deposition= gas to solid
Sublimation= solid to gas
Evaporation vs boiling (both changes of state from liquid to gas)
Evaporation:
No bubbles
Happens at surface of liquid
Happens at temperatures below boiling point
Boiling:
bubbles
Happens throughout liquid
Only happens at boiling point temperature
Why does temperature increase when a substance is heated (without changing its state)
Particles gain kinetic energy and move faster
This increases temperature as temperature is average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance
What is specific latent heat
Energy required to change state of 1kg of substance without changing its temperature
Examples of specific latent heat
Boiling water
Melting ice
Thermoregulation (sweat evaporating)
2 types of specific latent heat
Fusion (melting/ freezing)
Vaporisation (boiling/ condensing)
Which needs more energy, specific latent heat of fusion or vaporisation
Vaporisation
Equation linking specific latent heat, energy and mass
Specific latent heat = energy/ mass
Specific latent heat of fusion meaning
Energy required to melt/ freeze 1kg of substance without changing its temperature
Specific latent heat of vaporisation meaning
Energy required to boil/ condense 1kg of substance without changing its temperature
What is pressure in a gas created by
Particles colliding randomly with walls of container and exerting a force
They collide at right angles to container walls
They move in straight lines but randomly
Relationship between pressure and temperature (when mass and volume of gas in sealed container is constant)
Pressure increases proportionally to temperature
Relationship between pressure and volume of gas (at fixed mass and constant temperature)
Inversely proportional
If volume doubles then pressure halves etc
