changes of matter (density, shc etc.) Flashcards
learn them
1
Q
what is the equation for heat energy?
A
heat energy=mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature
AKA
Q=mc(change in)T
2
Q
what is the equation for density?
A
density=mass/volume
3
Q
what is the equation for pressure?
A
pressure=force/area
AKA
P=F/A
4
Q
what would a flat line represent on a graph showing state changes and temp increases?
A
a flat line represents a change of state
5
Q
why does temperature not increase during a change of state?
A
all the energy is used up on the state change and their is no left over heat energy to increase the temperature
