  • what does density depend on?
    spacing of the atoms in matter
  • order of densities in solids liquids and gases
    • solids - little space between particles
    • liquids - small gaps - random arrangement (except ice and water)
    • gases - lots of energy, volume increases, density increases
  • what is conserved during changes in state
    mass
  • what are the 5 changes in state
    • melting - solid to liquid
    • evaporation- liquid to gas
    • condensing - gas to liquid
    • freezing - liquid to solid
    • sublimation - solid to gas
  • why are changes in state not chemical changes
    the material retains its original properties when the reaction is reversed
  • what happens when you heat a system
    • particles have more energy
    • vibrate more
    • temperature of system increases or changes state
  • what is specific heat capacity
    energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 degree
  • what is specific latent heat
    energy needed to change the state of 1kg of a substance without a change in temperature
  • what is specific latent heat of fusion
    the energy needed to melt or freeze
  • what is specific latent heat of vaporisation
    Energy needed to boil or condense
  • when is energy absorbed in state changes
    melting and evaporating
  • when is energy released in state changes
    freezing and condensing
  • what is the purpose of insulation
    to prevent thermal energy transfers out of the system to avoid it being wasted and lost to the surroundings
  • how does reflective coating insulate
    reflect infrared radiation or heat back into the system
  • what does pressure produce
    a net force at right angles to any surface
  • how does velocity change in a gas
    as particles collide with the wall as they change momentum during the collision
  • how is a force exerted in a gas
    onto the wall of the container
  • how does temperature impact the pressure of a gas
    • more energy given to particles
    • Thermal energy transferred to kinetic
    • Particles move faster
    • Collisions occur more
    • Particles exert more force
    • Pressure increases
  • what is absolute zero
    0 kelvin or -273 degrees Celsius - nothing exsists at a colder temperature than this
  • Why can nothing exists at a colder temperature than absolute zero
    Particles have no energy and do not vibrate at all
  • how do you convert kelvin to centigrade
    degrees to kelvin = + 273
    kelvin to degrees = - 273
  • Why are ice and water exceptions to normal substances
    • Most become denser when they freeze
    • water freezes in a hexagonal structure with more empty space
    • volume increases and mass stays the same decreasing density
  • What is conservation of mass
    The mass stays the same in all strategy changes as the number of particles stay the same only arrangement changes
  • What is the difference between specific latent heat and specific heat capacity
    • in SHC energy is used to increase the kinetic energy causing a temperature change (focus on temperature)
    • In SLH energy is used to overcome intermolecular forces (focus on changing state)
  • What is the relationship between temperature and pressure at a constant volume
    Pressure increases as temperatire increases
  • how to investigate SHC of water
    • use immersion heater to heat a known mass of water
    • record the temperature changed and energy supplied with a joule-meter or using power x time
    • use energy = mass x SHC x time
  • how to investigate ice melting
    • thermometer in beaker of ice
    • record the temperature every minute until above 0
    • plot a graph
  • what should a graph of ice melting look like
    • initial rise as ice warms
    • flat as ice melts because it stays at a constant temperature while melting
    • final rise as the liquid heats
  • what determines whether an increase in temperature happens or an overall state change
    whether particles only gain energy or there is enough to break the bonds which depends on:
    • mass
    • material
    • energy input
    • SHC
  • how to investigate the density of irregular shapes
    • measure mass
    • measure volume with eureka can using displacement in cylinder
    • use D = m/v
  • how to investigate the density of a liquid
    • measure volume with measuring cylinder
    • mass by mass of empty beaker - mass of liquid + beaker
    • use d = m/v
