chemistry Flashcards
kinetic energy is the energy of
motion
the kinetic theory of matter states that all of the particles complete the sentence
made up matter are constantly in motion because the particles are in motion
the faster the particles are moving the less kinetic energy they have t or f
f
the particles in a solid
don’t move but they vibrate
the particles in a liquid
slide past eachother
the particles in a gas
the particles are apart from each other and move at high speeds
temperature is the
measurement of the average kinetic energy of all particles in a substance
cold
slow
hot
fast
degrees are not equally spaced units between three units fix this sentence
degrees are equally spaced units between two units
the space between degrees can not vary from scale to scale t or f
f
temperature is measured by a
thermometer
Celsius scale freeze
freezes at 0

how many units between the Celsius and Kevin scale boiling to freezing
100
there are 280 units from the
Fahrenheit scale
thermal energy is the total
kinetic energy of of all particles in a substance
thermal energy is measured by
joules
heat is the energy transferred from a
higher temp to a lower temp
one colorie is equal to the amount of energy needed to lower the temp t or f
f
heat is also measured by
joules
calories are measured by a
calorimeter
adding or removing hat fro a substance will
affect its temp and thermal energy
conduction is the
transfer of energy as heat from a mustache to another substance thru direct contact
a conductor is a material that transfers
heat very well
example of a conductor
metal
an insulator is a material that’s a good conductor t or f
false its a bad conductor
examples of an insulator
wood plastic and paper
convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of a
liquid and gas
radiation is the
transfer of energy by electro magnetic waves
examples of radiator
microave
heat always flows from
hot to cold
more particles =
more thermal energy
in most substances when temp increases
density decreases
the motion of convention is called
convection current
a renewable source is an
energy source that can be renewed by nature
a nonrenewable source is
a energy source that cannot be renewed or restored
examples of renewable sources
crops trees sun wind
examples of nonrenewable sources
uranium natural gas perytrooleum coal
methane is the main componme of
natural gas
disadvantages of natural gas
it proudu ces carbon dio
coal is
a sedimentary rock that form by the remains of dead pants at the bottom of ancient swamps
coal disadvantage
it destroys landscaped and pollutes water supplies
whats rock oil
petroleum
how does petroleum form
its forms by the remains of a single called aquatic organism that lived long ago
disadvantages of petroleum
it can react with sunlight to produce smog a fog like layer of air pollution
what ran formations do fossils go
first raw fossils are obtained by drilling or mining them the fossils are transported and later converted into usable;e energy
each of these transportations
potentially affect the environment in its negative ways
whats an alternative energy source
is a source that can be used instead of fossil fuels
solar energy is not renewable t or f
f its renewable
where does solar energy come from
the sun
solar energy can be converted into
electrical energy
nuclear energy is a renewable source t or f
f its not renewable
why is nuclear energy not renewable
because its from the earths crust
disadvantages of nuclear energy
they produce radioactive wastes
hydroelectric energy is renewable t or f
t
disadvantages of hyrdroeledtic energy
it floods lands and destroy habbits
wind energy is renewable t or f
t
disadvantages of wind energy
it can threaten animals cs of the blades
from where is geothermal energy extracted
from heat stored in earth
geothermal is renewable but
it is only found in specific places in earth
biomass can only be used as
fuel
bio mass is not renewable t o f
f its renewable
disadvantages of biomass
it releases carbon dioxide
sun light doesn’t fall evenly on earth t or f
true
whats the melting point of water
