Q

Absolute Zero

A

Is the lower limit of the thermodynamic temperature scale, a state at which the enthalpy and entropy of a cooled ideal gas reaches its minimum value, taken as 0.

17
Q

Kelvin scale

A

Is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale using as its null point absolute zero, the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases in the classical description of thermodynamics.

Kelvin converts to Celsius

K = °C + 273.15

18
Q

℃ to °F conversion

A

°C Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32

19
Q

°F to °C conversion

A

°F Deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9

20
Q

°R from °F

A

°R = °F + 460

21
Q

K from °C

A

K = °C + 273.15

22
Q

Atomic Structure

A

Nucleus = equal number of + Protons and Neutral Neutrons

  • Electrons orbit the nucleus
23
Q

Isotopes

A

Atoms of the same matter that have the same atomic number but different atomic mass (IE: the number of protons are equal but the number of neutrons are different)

24
Q

Atomic Number

A

The number of protons in a Nucleus

25
Q

Atomic Mass

A

The number of protons and neutrons in a

26
Q

Molecular Weight

A

The sum of atomic weight of different atoms making a compound.

(IE: H2O = H is 1 and O is 16
1X1 + 16 = 18)
