heat Flashcards
avogadro constant
the number of atoms in 12g of 12c
boiling
take place throughout a liquid and always occurs at the same temperature
boyle’s law
at constant temperature the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its temperature
(temperature same)
charles’s law
at a constant pressure the volume of a gas is proportional o its temperature
(pressure same)
evaporation
takes place at the surface of a liquid and can happen at all temperature
internal energy
the sum of the total intermolecular potential energy and the total random kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance
isothermal
constant temperature
molar mass
The mass of one mole of a substance
mole
the amount of a substance that contains the same number of atoms or molecules as the number of atoms in 12g of 12c
pressure law
at a constant volume the pressure of a gas is proportional to its temperature (in K)
specific heat capacity
the amount of energy require to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a substance by 1 K
specific latent heat
the amount of energy per unit mass of a substance absorbed and released during a change of phase (no temperature change)
temperature
a measure of the average random kinetic energy of the molecule in a substance
thermal capacity
the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of an object by 1K
thermal equilirbium
a situation where objects are at the same temperature
