    • The internal energy of a body is equal to the sum of all the Ke and Pe of all its particles.
      Internal energy can be increased by:
      . doing work on the system
      . increasing temperature
    • water internal energy cycle:
      . solid to liquid is melting point
      . liquid to gas is boiling point
      Gas state has highest internal energy.
    • Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 degree, without changing state.
    • Specific latent heat is the energy required to change the state of 1kg of a substance without changing its temperature.

      2 types:
      . Specific latent heat of fusion ( solid to liquid )
      . Specific latent heat of vaporisation (liquid to gas)
    • Boyles law - when temperature is constant, pressure and volume are inversely proportional pV=k
      Volume increases , molecules then spread out more resulting in less collisions. Therefore pressure decreases.
    • Charles law - when pressure is constant, volume is directly proportional to temperature.
      Temperature increases, increase in Ke and particles move more and spread out. Pressure is constant and volume increases.
    • Pressure law - Volume is constant , pressure is directly proportional to the temperature.
      Temperature increases, Ke increases resulting in more frequent collisions and pressure increases.
    • Number of moles= mass of substance/molar mass

      Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance.
      1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms/molecules.

      Kelvin = C + 273
