Chapter 6- Matter Flashcards
what is density?
how tightly packed the matter is in a given space
density equation
density= mass/volume p=m/v
density (Kg/M^3, g/cm^3)
mass(Kg)
volume= cm^3, m^3
What is the law of displacement?
Law of Displacement -an object completely submerged in a fluid (like water) will replace an amount of fluid equal to its own volume
what happens to mass when the state changes(conservation of mass)
stays the same because the number of particles is the same
what is specific heat capacity?
energy required to increase 1 kg of a substance by 1 degrees Celsius
what is specific latent heat?
the amount of energy required to change the state of 1kg of a substance at a constant temperature
latent heat equation
energy=mass x specific latent heat
SLH = J/k Mass = Kg Energy = J
what is latent heat /
the energy transferred to a substance without the substances temperature rising
What is density?
The amount of mass in a fixed volume how tightly compacted matter is
Density equation
P=m/v
Units for density
g/cm^3
Kg/m^3
Why do objects float
Because they have a low mass of matter in a volume this means they have a low mass of matter in a volume so this means they have a less density than the liquid, this means the object floats in addition an up thrust force causes this
What is sublimation?
Solid to gas
What is deposition?
Gas to solid
What is freezing ?
Liquid to solid
What is evaporation?
Liquid to gas
