Energy and water Pt. 1 Flashcards
How much does water cover the ocean?
71%
Is water nonpolar or polar?
Polar
What is the equation for kinetic energy?
1/2 mass velocity
What is the water cycle?
as water is evaporated and precipitated, heat is being transfered to atmosphere which is a source of energy that powers weather systems
What is heat?
total amount of kinetic energy in a substance
What is a calorie?
amount of kinetic energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1c
What is temperature?
the average amount of kinetic energy in the atoms and molecules in a substance.
What is specific heat?
ability of a substance to give up or take in heat to leading to temperature changes
How much does to take to make liquid to gas

How to make a solid to a liquid
+80 calories
How to get gas to liquid.
-540 calories
How to make liquid to solid
-80 calories
What is boiling point?
temperature when the saturated vapor pressure of a liquid is equal the atnospheric pressure
When can water remain at liquid stage?
Water can remain at liquid state >100°C if you change the pressure.
What are the properties of water?
Frozen water is less dense
High heat capacity and heat of evaporation
cohesion and adhesion
water interacts with heat,light, and sound energy
Is the universal solvent
