3.6.2 - DEFINITIONS Flashcards
Absolute zero?
the lowest possible temperature of a system, where no heat remains and the particles have zero kinetic energy
Avogadro’s constant?
the number of particles in one mole of any gas
Boyle’s law?
pressure of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature
Brownian motion?
the random motion of particles
Charles’ law?
the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature, when at constant pressure
molar mass?
the mass of one mole of the substance in question
ideal gas?
One which follows all the ideal gas assumptions
molecular mass?
the mass of one molecule of the substance in question
Pressure law?
the pressure of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, when volume is fixed
specific heat capacity?
the amount of energy required to increase 1kg of a substance by 1 degree Celcius
specific latent heat?
the amount of energy required to change the state of 1kg of a substance without a change in temperature
state changes?
during a state change, the potential energy of the system is changing but the kinetic energy is not
