  • 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
