Q

Thermometer

A

The liquid in a thermometer will expand and rise when heated and will contract and fall when it is cooled

16
Q

A

100°C

17
Q

Freezing point for water

A

0°C

18
Q

Melting point

A

When a solid turns to a liquid

19
Q

Boiling point

A

When a liquid turns to a gas

20
Q

Freezing point

A

When a liquid turns to a solid

21
Q

Condensation

A

Is a gas turning to a liquid

22
Q

Evaporation

A

is when a liquid turns to a gas

23
Q

A kettle will normally boil at a 100°C,But will boil at 70°C on top of Mt.Everest

A

Atmospheric pressure is less so it is easier for the water vapour to escape

24
Q

Latent heat

A

The heat taken in or given out when a substance is Changing state without a change in temperature

25
Q

Latent heat of fusion

A

Is used when a solid changes into a liquid

26
Q

Latent heat of vaporisation

A

Is used when a liquid changes to agas

27
Q

Dull black surface radiates

A

Heat better than a shiny surface

28
Q

Dull black surface absorb

A

Heat better than a shiny surface

29
Q

When water is below 4°

A

It begins to expand

30
Q

The amount of heat in a substance depends on

A

Temperature,mass and what it is made of e.g 200ml of water at 60° has twice as much heat as 100ml of water at 60°
