P3 particle model of matter Flashcards
what is the density equation
density = mass/volume
what does density depend on
the spacing of the atoms in matter
what happens to mass during changes of state
it stays the same
what is the change from solid to gas called
sublimation
what is internal energy
energy which is stored by particles for e.g. kinetic energy, potential energy
what is specific heat capacity
the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 degree
what is the equation for specific heat capacity
change in thermal energy = mass * specific heat capacity * temperature change
what is specific latent heat
the amount of energy required to change the state of 1kg of a substance without a change in temperature
what is the equation for specific latent heat
energy for a change in state = mass * specific latent heat
what is pressure
when put in a container the force the molecules moving exert on the wall
what is the equation for work done
pressure * volume
