Q

Phase changes

A
  • Melting (fusion) & Freezing → “Melt the ice, Freeze the lake.”
  • Vaporization & Condensation → “Vapor goes up, Condensation drips down.”
  • Sublimation & Deposition → “Sublime snow disappears (solid → gas), Depositing frost appears (gas → solid)”

Q

Continuty Equation

A
  • What flows into a pipe must flow out — unless it’s leaking
  • Imagine water flowing through a garden hose:
  • the hose is wide, the water flows slowly

Q

convection

A
  • It occurs when warmer, less dense fluid rises and cooler, denser fluid sinks, creating a cycle.
25
isolated system
no heat and matter transfer
26
closed system
allow heat transfer but no matter transfer
27
cyanohydrin formation
28
torque
29
refraction
* the angle of incidence: angle between an **incoming ray (light, sound, or other wave) and the normal to the surface**-always equal to angle of reflection
30
**Total Internal Reflection**
when a light ray traveling in a denser medium (higher refractive index, n₁) hits the boundary of a less dense medium (lower refractive index, n₂) at an angle **greater than the critical angle (θc)**, causing all the light to be reflected back into the denser medium instead of refracting
31
Ideal gas law
*** PV=nRT** R=0.0821 L·atm/mol·K; V measured in L/m^3 T = Temperature (measured in Kelvin = °C + 273) 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 760 torr = 101.325 kPa
32
Unit conversion
1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³ 1L=1000 cm³
33
Doppler equation
34
boiling point
* the temperature at which a liquid’s vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure. * high vapor pressure=easily escape=high esacaping rates from the liquid to gas-->low BP
35
principal quantum number
* energy of a given orbital or electron cloud in which an electron cloud changes
36
mirror lens equations
37
Magnification Equation
38
Converging lenses/mirrors
* Real/Inverted if beyond F, Virtual/Upright if inside F; * **"LUV IR" → Lenses: Upright = Virtual, Inverted = Real**
39
Diverging lenses/mirrors
Always Virtual & Upright
40
Archimede's principle
41
sound traveling speed
* Sound travels fastest in solids, then liquids, and slowest in gases. * Solids have molecules that are tightly packed, allowing sound waves to transfer energy more efficiently.
42
light traveling speed
* Slows down in glass than in air * Glass has a higher index of refraction than air.
43
diffraction
44
light dispersion
45
light reflection
46
specific gravity
47
open-open pipe resonance
48
Bernoulli’s Equation
* used for **large-scale, fast-moving flows** (e.g., blood in arteries, air over wings, water through open pipes) * faster moving fluid-->less pressure
49
Hydrostatic pressure
How does arterial blood pressure in the leg compare to that in the arm for a healthy person standing at rest?
50
collision theory
51
rate law
* determined by rate limiting step (slow step)
52
convex vs concave mirrors
53
Units
54
disulfide bonds
* two thiol (-SH) groups from cysteine amino acids are oxidized to form a covalent bond between their sulfur atoms. * A type of covalent bonds
55
Gamma Emission
* occurs when a nucleus emits a gamma photon (γ-ray). * Photons: a packet of energy that has no mass and moves at the speed of light
