Q

distinguish between the terms heat energy and temperature

A

Heat is the total energy of the motion of the molecules of a substance, whereas temperature refers to the measure of the average energy of the motions of the molecules in the substance

Q

what are the factors that affect the quantity of heat energy in a substance

A

the amount of the heat needed, is the mass of the substance, is the specific heat capacity of the substance and is the difference in the temperature of a substance.

Q

Describe the energy of particles during changes of state

A

As heat energy is added, the particles gain more heat energy until they undergo the process of changing state, at which point their temperature remains constant

16
Q

Describe the arrangement of particles during changes of state

A

The particles in solids vibrate about fixed positions; even at very low temperatures. Individual particles in liquids and gases have no fixed positions and move chaotically

17
Q

Define the term diffusion

A

the random movement of particles that causes them to spread out and mix.

18
Q

what is a common experiment that can be used to show diffusion using ammonia

A

Cotton balls soaked in concentrated solutions of ammonia and hydrochloric acid are introduced into opposite ends of a glass tube

19
Q

how does temperature affect affect the rate of diffusion

A

at higher temperatures, the rate at which fluid particles will diffuse is faster than at lower temperatures.

20
Q

how does particle size affect diffusion

A

Particles with a smaller hydrodynamic radius have larger diffusion constant but weaker interaction with the sphere

21
Q

recall the three types of heat transfer

A

radiation.conduction.convection.

22
Q

where is conduction most common

A

solids and liquids

23
Q

where is radiation most common

A

Naturally occurring radioactive minerals in the ground, soil

24
Q

where is convection most common

A

Boiling Water

25
Q

describe the process of conduction in solids

A

heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules

26
Q

what is a common experiment that can be used to measure the rate of conduction

A

1.Attach a pin to the metal strip using vaseline
2.hold the metal strip with the opposite end in the yellow flame of the bunsen burner
3.time how long it takes for the pin to fall
4.repeat with different materials
