Q

what are 4 limitations of the particle model?

A
  1. doesn’t show the motion of the particles
  2. the model is 2D but states of matter are 3D
  3. drawn as spheres but that’s not how they actually look
  4. doesn’t show the forces of attraction between the particles

Q

what is the definition of uncertainty?

A

a measurement of the range of which the true value will lie

20
Q

what is the definition of temperature?

A

the average kinetic energy of the molecules/ atoms

21
Q

what is the definition of thermal energy?

A

the total energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules

22
Q

what does thermal energy depend on?

A

the mass of the object

23
Q

what internal energy?

A

the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy

24
Q

what does potential energy depend on?

A

due to their intermolecular forces of attraction acting on the particles

25
Q

All objects above absolute zero have…

A

thermal energy as particles are moving

26
Q

The more mass an object has …

A

the more atoms it has

27
Q

What happens when you heat a system?

A

the internal energy increases

28
Q

what happens to the temperature when a substance changes state?

A

there is no change in temperature

29
Q

what happens to the potential energy store when ice melts?

A

it increases

30
Q

which states have the most/least internal energy?

A

solids have the least
gases have the most

31
Q

what happens when a substance is cooled?

A

the internal energy decreases

32
Q

what happens when a substance is heated?

A

the internal energy increases

33
Q

what happens to the potential energy when a solid turns to liquid (melting)

A

potential energy increases
- there are less intermolecular forces of attraction

34
Q

what happens to the potential energy when a gas turns to liquids (condensation)

A

the potential energy store decreases

35
Q

what is specific latent heat?
9check correct definition)

A

the amount of energy required to change the state of 1kg of a material without changing it’s temperature

36
Q

what is the specific latent heat of fusion?

A

the energy required to convert 1 kg of a substance from a solid to a liquid/ or from a liquid to a solid without changing it’s temperature

37
Q

what is the specific latent heat of vapourisation?

A

the energy required to convert 1kg of a substance from a liquid to gas ( or a gas to liquid) without changing it’s temperature

38
Q

what is the definition of pressure?

A

a force per unit area

39
Q

what 2 things does pressure depend on?

A
  1. the frequency of collisions
  2. the individual force that each particle in the container collides with
40
Q

describe the relationship between gas pressure and the temperature

A

gas pressure is directly proportional to the temperature

41
Q

how do gas particles move?

A

in constant and random motion

42
Q

what happens when gas particles bump into each other?

A

they collide and bounce of each other

42
Q

do each gas particles have their own mass?

A

yes

43
Q

are gas particles extremely small?

A

yes

44
Q

do gas particles have inter - molecular forces of attraction between them?

A

no
