Pa
what is 1 pa of pressure
1 pascal is the pressure caused by 1 newton of force acting over an area of 1m^2
how to convert celcious to kelvin
+273
when working with gas laws ALL temperatures MUST use what temperature?
Kelvin
Volume and temp at a constant pressure (fact)
the particles GAIN KINETIC ENERGY and move faster.
collisions are more frequent and with greater force on the container WALLS
since the container is able to expand the gas volume increases until the pressure of the GAS is equal to the EXTERNAL pressure
for changes from solid to liquid use what specific heat capacity?
latent heat of fusion
for changes from liquid to gas use what specific heat capacity?
latent heat of vaporisation
the temperature of a substance is a measure of the?
mean kinetic energy of its particles
