Kinetic Theory Flashcards
Evaporation
Liquid to gas
Freezing
Liquid to solid, transfer energy to the surroundings.
Melting
Solid to liquid, take energy in from the surroundings.
Condensation
Gas to liquid, transfer energy to the surroundings.
Sublimation
Solid to gas
Deposition
Gas to solid
Solid
Particles packed closely together, connected and vibrate around a fixed point.
Liquid
Particles less close but still connected. Vibrate more, more energy and can slip and slide over in random motion.
Gas
Particles free to move, not connected, the most amount of energy, move randomly.
Specific heat capacity
Is the amount of energy required to rise 1kg of material by 1 degree. Every material has different specific heat capacity.
Formula= energy=mass(kg)specific heat capacity(J/kg/degree)temperature change delta
Specific latent heat
Tells you how much energy is needed to change the state of 1 kg of substance at constant temperature. Energy= mass(kg) x specific latent heat
Specific latent heat of fusion
Is solid to liquid or liquid to solid
Specific latent heat of vaporization
Liquid to gas or gas to liquid
Melting point
At certain temperature the particles have enough energy to break free from their position. Solid to liquid then to gas.
Boiling point
At certain temperature, the particles loses energy and bonds are formed between them. Gas to liquid then solid.
