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.
