Unit 5 Flashcards
Endothermic
when heat flows into (enters) a system; Triangle Heat = (+) positive
Exothermic
when heat flows out of (exists) a system; Triangle Heat= (-) negative
Specific Heat
The amount of heat energy needed to change a substance’s (chemicals) temperature; can be used to change the state of matter (Aka…)
Latent Heat
The Amountof heat energy needed to change the state of matter
what does temperature measure in terms of atoms and molecules?
Temperature measures how fast atoms and molecules are moving/vibrating
What is the difference between a food calorie and a scientific calorie?
1 food calorie = 1,000 Science calories
Why did we set the food sample on fire?
To extract it’s heat energy; to release the heat energy in the heat and transfer it to vile so we could measure it
What was the purpose of measuring the change in temperature change of the water in the test cube?
To determine how much energy was in the sun chips
describe the arrangement and motion of the particles of a solid
Slower moving particles are typically closer together, fixed in an ordered pattern, and maintain their shape despite its container
Describe the arrangement of the particles in a liquid.
Medium speed at motion, medium average distance, mildly disordered, forms to the bottom of the container
Describe the arrangement and motion of the particles of gas
Fast moving, farther part, very disordered, form to the whole container
What is the difference between the latent heat of fusion and the latent heat of vaporization? Would these numbers be the same?
Latent heat fusion is from the solid to liquid, and vice versa. The latent heat of vaporization is from liquid to gas.
using the language of heat and energy; describe why it is when your sweat evaporates off your skin cools down.
The heat energy vaporizes into the air through the latent heat of evaporation. Leaving your body with a cooler temperature/less heat energy
Using the language of heat and energy; describe why it is when 100 C steam condenses onto your hand it hurts, but when 100 C touches your hand it doesn’t hurt.
Condensation (gas to liquid) gives off (exothermic) because of the latent heat of evaporation
