11/17 quiz Flashcards
absolute zero
0 kelvin or 0K
why can’t temperatures be below 0 kelvin?
because kelvin measures kinetic energy and 0 kelvin means 0 kinetic energy, therefore at 0 kelvin, there is no motion.
specific heat-
different substances will heat at different rates
formula for calculating the heat of a substance:
q= m•c•(change)T
q=
heat/ energy (J)
m=
mass (g)
c=
specific heat (J/g•(degrees)C)
T=
temperature (degrees C)
J/g•(degrees)C= (means)
for every 1 joule of heat added, the temperature of 1 gram of a substance will change by 1
heating curve-
a graph that shows the phases of matter and phase changes as they relate to thermal energy and temperature
how much heat and weight does ICE have to have to heat up to water?
C= 2.1 J/g•(degrees)C
how much heat and weight does WATER have to have to heat up to steam?
C= 4.18 J/g•(degrees)C
how much heat and weight does STEAM have to have to heat up?
C= 1.7 J/g•(degrees)C
what are the phases of the heating curve?
ICE- melts to water or crystallizes
WATER- vaporizes to steam or condensates back to ice
STEAM
KMT (kinetic molecular theory)-
relates motion of particles to the energy
