New cards

What is density

The mass of a substance per unit of volume (mass per volume)

2
New cards

What is the equation for density

p= m/v

3
New cards

How are particles arranged/ move in a :

Solid

Liquid

Gas

Solid - regular pattern/ touching/ vibrates in a fixed position

Liquid- random pattern/ touching/ free to flow around

Gas- random pattern/ far apart/ move around quickly and randomly in all directions

4
New cards

Which state of mater has the most energy

Gas

5
New cards

How to measure volume of a irregular solid

(1) place irregular solid in water in a measuring cylinder. Measure how much water level has risen by

OR

(2) use a eureka can

6
New cards

what is the internal energy of particles

Kinetic energy + potential energy

7
New cards

Average KE is AKA

Temperature

8
New cards

Name 5 state changes

melting

Evaporation

Condensation

Freezing

SUBLIMATION

9
New cards

If u heat a substance what energy increases

KE - higher temperature

OR

PE - change of state

10
New cards

Why does temperature not increase during melting

Energy is being used uo to weaken forces between particles (PE increases tho)

11
New cards

Define specific heat capacity (SHC)

The energy needed to heat 1kg of material by 1•c

12
New cards

Equation to calculate energy change from SHC

E = m x c (SHC) x change in temp


13
New cards

Define latent heat

The energy needed to change the state 1kg of a substance without changing the temperature

14
New cards

Equation to find specific latent heat

E =M x L( latent heat)

15
New cards

The specific latent heat of FUSION gives what change ?

Solid to liquid

16
New cards

The specific latent heat of VAPORISATION gives what what change?

Liquid to gas

17
New cards

What happens to pressure if a container is smaller

Increase because the particle with hit wall more often

18
New cards

Define gas pressure

The force exerted on a surface when a particle collides with it

19
New cards

What happens to the temperature of a liquid when some particles start to evaporate

Decreases- the average kinetic energy decreases

20
New cards

What happens to volume if substance changes from liquid to gas

Increases
