Q

Method to determine the density of a regular object

A

Measure mass using a balance, measure the sides of the block using a ruler, calculate the volume using l x w x h and use the density equation to work out the density

Q

Method to determine the density of an irregular object

A

Measure mass of irregular object with a balance. Fill the eureka can with water up to the spout, carefully submerge the object into the water (lower using string), collect displaced water into a measuring cyclinder, displaced water= volume of object, use density equation

Q

Method to determine the density of a liquid

A

Place measuring cylinder on a balance, zero balance reading, pour in a volume of liquid, read off the scale (1ml=1cm3), record mass of balance in grams, use density equation (mass/volume)

Q

Density of a liquid

A

Medium

20
Q

Density of a gas

A

Low

21
Q

If an object is more dense than the liquid it is in, what will happen

A

It will sink

22
Q

If an object is less dense than the liquid it is in, what will happen

A

It will float

23
Q

What kind of changes are state changes

A

Physical changes, they can be reversed

24
Q

What will mass always be in a state change

A

Conserved (the same)

25
Q

Does temperature change in a state change

A

No, the energy goes into creating and breaking the bonds

26
Q

3 limitations of the particle models

A

They assume particles are all spherical, they are only 2D and no movement or vibrations are shown

27
Q

What is internal (thermal) energy

A

The energy stored by the particles making up a system

28
Q

What does heating a system do

A

It transfers energy to its particles which increases the internal energy and leads to a change in temperature or state

29
Q

When does a change of state occur

A

If a substance is heated enough

30
Q

Solid to liquid process

A

Melting

31
Q

Liquid to gas process

A

Evaporation

32
Q

Gas to liquid process

A

Condensation

33
Q

Solid to gas process

A

Sublimation

34
Q

Liquid to solid process

A

Freezing

35
Q

What is Specific Latent Heat

A

The amount of energy required for 1kg of mass to change state

36
Q

What is Specific Latent Heat of Fusion

A

The specific latent heat (energy needed for 1kg of a substance) for changing between a solid and a liquid

37
Q

What is Specific Latent Heat of Vapourisation

A

The specific latent heat (energy needed for 1kg of a substance) for changing between a liquid and a gas

38
Q

Equation for energy for a change of state

A

Energy for a change of state= mass x specific latent heat

39
Q

If you increase the temperature of a gas, what happens

A

You transfer energy into the kinetic energy stores of its particles, meaning the speed of the particles increase and also the pressure

40
Q

What does colliding gas particles create

A

Pressure

41
Q

What is the relationship between pressure and volume

A

Inversely proportional

42
Q

What does doing work on a gas increase

A

Temperature

43
Q

Pressure equation

A

Pressure= Force/ Area

44
Q

Pressure and volume equation

A

Pressure x Volume = Constant
