Q

What is the name of the transfer gas to liquid?

A

Condensing

20
Q

What is the name of the transfer liquid to solid?

A

Freezing

21
Q

What is the name of the transfer solid to gas?

A

Sublimation

22
Q

What is the name of the transfer solid to liquid?

A

Melting

23
Q

What is the name of the transfer liquid to gas?

A

Boiling

24
Q

What happens when particles go solid to liquid and liquid to gas?

A

Particles gain energy to overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction. This energy is stored in the particle’s energy store

25
Q

What happens when particles go gas to liquid and liquid to solid?

A

Particles lose energy as solids and liquids have a higher potential energy store

26
Q

What is the specific latent heat of fusion?

A

The energy required to convert 1kg of a solid to liquid (or from a liquid to solid) without a change in temperature

27
Q

What is the specific latent heat of vapourisation?

A

The energy required to convert 1kg of a substance from a liquid to a gas (or from a gas to a liquid) without a change in temperature

28
Q

What is the equation for specific latent heat?

A

Latent heat = Energy / mass

29
Q

What is the unit of pressure?

A

Pascals, Pa

30
Q

What is the equation for the gas constant?

A

P x V = Constant

31
Q

What is pressure in gases caused by?

A

Particles hitting the surface

32
Q

What is specific heat capacity?

A

Energy needed to heat 1kg by 1 degree celsius

33
Q

Why does dry ice explode?

A

Particles gain energy, move faster, hit sides more, changes solid to gas (sublimation)

34
Q

What shape do gases take when compressed?

A

The shape of the container they are in

35
Q

Which states can be compressed?

A

Only gases

36
Q

Which states can’t be compressed?

A

Liquids and solids

37
Q

When do state changes occur?

A

When particles gain or lose energy

38
Q

What temperatures do gases contract at?

A

Lower temperatures - slow down and get closer

39
Q

What are particles?

A

Atoms and molecules

40
Q

What do higher temperatures mean for movement of particles?

A

Higher temperatures = more movement (speeds up)

41
Q

What do lower temperatures mean for movement of particles?

A

Lower temperatures = less movement (slows down)

42
Q

Which state particles have the weakest forces of attraction?

A

Particles in gases have the weakest forces of attraction

43
Q

How is atmospheric pressure affected by height?

A

Atmospheric pressure decreases the higher you travel

44
Q

What happens when a substance melts or boils?

A

When the substance melts or boils, energy is put in to breaking the bonds that are holding particles together, which increases the potential energy.

45
Q

What is internal energy?

A

The total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object

46
Q

What happens when energy is given to raise the temperature?

A

When energy is given to raise the temperature, particles speed up and gain kinetic energy.
