internal energy & changes of state

Cards (9)

  • internal energy is the total energy stored by particles in a system
  • internal energy is what?
    Total energy stored by particles in a system
  • internal is the total energy what?
    Stored by particles in a system
  • what is the total energy stored by particles in a system?
    internal energy
  • what’s internal energy?
    total energy stored by particles in a system
  • what’s internal energy again?!?
    total energy stored by particles in a system !!!!
  • | internal energy
    • particles in a system vibrate or move around- they have energy in kinetic
    • & potential energy
    • energy in a system is stored by its particles
    • internal energy is the total energy particles have in their kinetic & potential energy stores
    • heating transfers energy to particles, increasing internal energy
    • leads to change in temperature or state. if temp changes, change depends on mass
    • change in state gives enough energy to break bonds in kinetic energy stores
  • what does the extent of change when temperature is changed depend on?
    mass
  • what does a change in state mean?
    that particles will have enough energy in kinetic energy stores to break bonds
