(14 cards)
Kinetic molecular theory
All matter is made up of particles in constant motion. movement is related to temperature.
Energy
The ability to do work. (Movement of thermal, potential, kinetic)
Mass
The number of particles ( atoms and molecules) that make up a substance.
Volume
The amount of space occupied by substances
Density
D= mass (kg) / volume (L)
How much mass occupies certain space.
Density of oil and water
Oil < water
Degree of hotness
Speed
Quantity of hotness
Mass and speed
Temperature
Is the average kinetic energy of all particles in a sample of matter.
What is temperature measured in?
Celsius and kelvin
Celsius is used
Based on the freezing and boiling points of water
Calvin is used
Related to KMT.
What is absolute zero?
Temperature when particles stop moving.
Heat
Is the amount of energy that is transferred to an object of lower temperature.
