P3 - Particle Model of Matter Flashcards
What is meant by the term physical changes
When a change can not be reversed
What is internal energy
The energy stored in a system by its particles
What happens when a system is heated
- internal energy increases.
- causes an increase in temperature or a change of state
- during a change of state the temperature and mass of the substance remains constant
What is the name of change of state for gas to liquid
Condensation
What is the name of change of state for liquid to gas
Evaporation
What is the equation for density
Mass ÷ volume
What are the units of density
Kg/m3
What happens to the arrangement of water in different states
The less dense, the less compact
What are the 2 things that the increase in a systems temperature depend on
Mass and specific heat capacuty (material)
Specific latent heat formula
The amount of energy required to heat 1kg of a substance by 1°c without changing the state. Energy = mass latent heat. E=ml
What happens when the temperature of a gas increases
- the average energy in the kinetic energy stores of the gas molecules increases.
- average speed of gas molecules increase.
- if the gas is kept at a constant volume, increasing the temperature increases pressure
