Q

Radiation

A

Heat travels from a hot object without the need for a medium, does not need a solid ,liquid or gas to go through , will flow through a vacuum

Q

Reducing pressure

A

Lowers the boiling point of water above 100•

17
Q

Temperature is a measure

A

Of the hotness of the body

18
Q

When heat causes a change

A

I’m state and not in temperature we call it latent

19
Q

When heat changes a solid

A

Without temperature we call it latent of heat and fusion

20
Q

When heat changes a liquid

A

To gas without change in temperature we call it vaporisation

21
Q

Heat can travel in 3 methods :

A

Conduction convention and radiation

22
Q

Insulators are

A

Materials that are poor conductors

23
Q

Radiation

A

Is the transfer of the heat from a hot object without the need of a medium.the sun transfers its energy through radiation

24
Q

Temperature

A

A measure of how hot the object is

25
Q

Temperture is measured

A

With a thermometer

26
Q

We deal with 2 types of a thermometer

A

A mercury thermometer and alcohol thermometer

27
Q

The liquid in the thermometers will

A

Expand and rise when heated and will contract and fall when cooled

28
Q

Temperature is measured

A

Between 0 and 100 degrees Celsius

29
Q

Melting point

A

when a solid turns to a liquid

30
Q

Boiling point

A

Is when a liquid turns to a gas

31
Q

Freezing joint

A

Is when a liquid turns to a solid

32
Q

Condensation

A

Is a gas turning to a liquid

33
Q

Latent heat

A

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

34
Q

Latent heat of fusion

A

Is used when a solid changes into a liquid

35
Q

Latent heat of vaporisation

A

Is used when a liquid changes to gas
