  • Heat
    A form of energy
  • Solid particles
    • Fixed, but still vibrate
  • Liquid particles
    • Not fixed, can flow
  • Gas particles
    • Widely spread, moving
  • tempurature
    Measure of the mean kinetic energy of particles
  • Specific heat capacity
    Energy required or given out when the temperature of a substance changes by 1°C
  • Calculating heat energy transferred
    1. Eh= cm ΔT
  • Specific latent heat
    Energy involved in changing the state of a substance without temperature change
  • Pressure
    Force per unit area acting on a surface
  • Kinetic theory of gases
    • Assumes a large number of rapidly moving, randomly colliding molecules with no loss of kinetic energy
  • As volume of gas increases
    Pressure decreases
  • As temperature of a gas increases
    Pressure increases
  • Volume Temperature (constant mass and pressure)
    1. If the temperature of the gas is increased
    2. The kinetic energy of the particles increases + speed increases
    3. The volume of the gas must increase to increase the area the container walls to keep the pressure constant
  • Kelvin temperature scale
    • -273°C is called absolute zero and is the zero on the Kelvin temperature scale
  • At absolute zero, OK = -273°C, all particle motion stops
  • Convert °C to K
    Add 273
  • Convert K to °C
    Subtract 273
  • Boyle's law
    For a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to 1/volume
  • Pressure
    Inversely proportional to volume
  • The equation is P1V1 = P2V2
  • Graph of pressure against volume
    • Graph of pressure against 1/volume
  • P1V1 = P2V2
  • Gay-Lussac's law

    For a fixed mass of gas at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature in Kelvins
  • Pressure
    Directly proportional to absolute temperature in Kelvins
  • The equation is P1/T1 = P2/T2
  • Charles' law
    For a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature in Kelvins
  • Volume
    Directly proportional to absolute temperature in Kelvins
  • The equation is V1/T1 = V2/T2
  • Combined Gas Equation
    P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
