Adding energy to the system,
or removing it, changes the
system’s thermal energy. True of False?
True
What happens to a system when you change
its thermal energy?
The temperature of the system changes. The system undergoes a phase change, such as melting or freezing
Adding _____ C of energy raises the temperature of __ kg of water by __ K.
4190C, 1kg , 1K
How much energy you will need in order for you to raise the temperature of a 1kg gold by 1 K?
129 J
What is the heat equation?
Q = mc△T, where:
m = mass of object (g)
c = specific heat of the object (cal / gram C)
The amount of energy that raises the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 K is called the ______.
Specific Heat
_____ has specific heat (c) = 4190 J/kg K.
Water
The specific heat of gold is c gold = ?
129 J/kg K
It is a measure of a material’s resistance to temperature change.
Thermal Inertia ( T = square root of (density x heat conductivity x specific heat)
The molar specific heat is the
amount of energy that raises
the temperature of ____ mol of a substance by ____ K.
1 mol, 1K
Most solids have molar heat capacity very near at __ J/mol K.
25
The slope of the graph depends inversely on the system’s specific heat. True or False?
True
The thermal energy continues to increase during a phase change, but the additional energy goes into _____ molecular bonds rather than ______ the molecules.
breaking , speeding up
Spot the incorrect word.
A phase change is characterized by a change in thermal energy with a change in temperature.
‘with’ should be ‘without’.
The amount of heat energy that causes1 kg of a substance to undergo a phase change is called the ______ of that substance.
heat of transformation
