CHEMISTRY QUIZ Thurs Flashcards
Endothermic phase change (definition)
Heat goes in (absorbed)
Exothermic phase change definition
Heat goes out (released)
Endothermic changes examples
-Vaporize (L to G)
-Melting (S to L)
-Sublimation (S to G)
Exothermic changes examples
-Freezing (L to S)
-Condensation (G to L)
-Deposition (G to S)
Potential energy is also known as..
stored energy
Kinetic energy is also known as…
energy of motion
Temperature
-The measurement of average kinetic energy
Absolute zero
-O degrees Kelvin
-At which there is no motion
Thermal energy
-Measurement of TOTAL kinetic energy
K equals…
Celcius + 273
Heat
The movement of kinetic energy
-Always travels high to low/hot to cold
The Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only passed around
(q lost = q gained)
Specific heat
Amount of energy needed to heat 1g of a substance by 1 degrees celsius
Heat of vaporization
The amount of energy needed to turn 1g of liquid into gas
OR
1g of gas into liquid at the boiling point
