Kinetic theory equation assumptions
1) Brownian motion
2) elastic
3) molecules don’t attract
4) collision time shorter than moving time
5) molecules are point molecules
1st law of thermodynamics
The change of internal energy of an object = the total energy transfer due to work done and heating
Internal energy
Sum of the random distribution of KE and PE of its molecules
Latent Heat of Fusion
Energy needed to melt a solid at its melting point
Latent Heat of vaporisation
Energy needed to vaporise a liquid
Specific latent Heat of fusion
Energy needed to change state of unit mass from solid to liquid without temperature change
Specific latent Heat of vaporisation
Energy needed to change the state of unit mass of substance from liquid to vapour without a change in temperature
