  • Density Formula?

    Mass ÷ Volume
  • What happens to particles in a solid when it gains energy?

    Particles move further apart
  • What is the effect on volume when particles in a solid gain energy?
    Volume increases
  • What happens to particles in a solid when it loses energy?

    Particles move closer together
  • What is the effect on volume when particles in a solid lose energy?
    Volume decreases
  • What happens to particle energy when they gain energy?
    They gain internal energy
  • What type of energy do particles gain when they have more internal energy?
    Kinetic energy (movement energy)
  • What can particles do with increased kinetic energy?
    Change state (e.g. Solid to Liquid, Liquid to Gas)
  • What remains constant during a change of state?
    Mass
  • What provides the energy for melting a solid?
    Heat supplied
  • What happens to the heat energy when a solid is melting?
    All heat energy is used to break bonds and give particles kinetic energy
  • What is internal energy in a substance?
    The total energy stored by the particles
  • What is internal energy comprised of?
    Kinetic energy of particle motion and Potential energy due to particle position
  • What happens to the internal energy of a substance when its temperature increases?
    Increases
  • What happens to the internal energy of a substance when its temperature decreases?

    Decreases
  • What happens to the particles when a solid changes to a liquid?

    They move further apart
  • How does this change affect the potential energy?
    Increases because particles change position relative to each other
  • What happens to the internal energy as a result?
    Increases
  • What holds particles together in a substance?
    Forces of attraction
  • How does the strength of forces of attraction affect the heat energy needed?

    The stronger the forces, the more heat energy needed
  • What is latent heat?
    Energy required for a substance to change state without changing temperature
  • What happens to energy during a change of state from liquid to solid or gas to liquid?

    Energy is released into the environment
  • What is the flat bit on the cooling curve representing?
    Release of energy during change of state
  • How do you calculate the energy required for a change of state?
    Energy = mass x specific latent heat
  • What factors influence the energy required for a change of state?
    Mass and specific latent heat
  • What is the specific latent heat called for the change of state from solid to liquid?
    Specific latent heat of fusion
  • What is the specific latent heat called for the change of state from liquid to gas?
    Specific latent heat of vaporization
  • What happens when gas particles collide with the walls of their container?
    They change direction, resulting in a force
  • What is this force called?
    Pressure
  • What units is pressure measured in?
    Pascals (Pa)
  • What happens to the motion of gas particles when the temperature increases?
    They move faster
  • What happens to the frequency and force of particle collisions with the container when the temperature increases?

    They collide more often and with more force
  • What is the effect on pressure when the temperature of a gas increases?

    The pressure increases
  • What is the relationship between pressure and temperature?
    Pressure is proportional to temperature. As temperature increases, pressure increases, and vice versa.
