Q

If you compress an object, what will happen to the arrangment of the particles?

A

The particles woukd move closer together, and it would become more dense but you wouldn’t be decreasing its volume.

Q

Describe the characteristics of a liquid

A

LIQUID: there is weaker forces of attraction between particles. The particles are flose together, but can move past each other in irregular arrangments. They have more energy than the particles in a solid - move in random directions at low speeds. Generally less dense than solids

Q

Desribe the characteristics of solids

A

Strong forces of attraction hold the particles close together in a fixed, regular arrangement.
The particles don’t habe much energy so they can only vibrate about their fixed positions. The density is generally highest in this state as the particles are closest together.

16
Q

What is potential energy

A

The potential energy The particles have due to their position. Bigger the distance between particles the greater potential energy they have.

17
Q

What happens if a gas is given more energy?

A

When a gas is heated (provided with more energy) its molecules gain more kinetic energy and move faster. The molecules therefore collide with surfsces more frequently and with more force.

18
Q

What is temperature

A

Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is

19
Q

Increasing the temperature of any sealed gas container

A

Increases the pressure

20
Q

Increasing the temp of any sealed gas container increases the pressure. Give two reasons why?

A

The average kinetic energy of the molecules increases as heat energy is transferred to
them.
• The average speed of the molecules increases as the kinetic energy increases.
This causes the molecules to hit the sides of the container more frequently and with more force, therefore greater pressure.

21
Q

Equation for energy and latent heat and mass

A

Energy = mass x specific latent heat

22
Q

Pressure x volume =

A

Constant

23
Q

P1xv2

A

P2xv2

24
Q

The bottle is filled with water and inside is a small packet of sauce which also has some air sealed in the packet. As the bottle is squeezed the sauce packet sinks. Why?

A

When you squeeze the bottle inward, you are reducing the volume of the bottle. This reduction in volume increases the pressure of all of the gas, including air in the sauce packet. The increased pressure of the air and therefore decreased volume will make it slightly more dense reducing its ‘buoyancy’ causing it to sink lower.

25
Q

Describe the characteristics of gases

A

There are almost no forces of attraction between particles. The particles have more energy than in liquids and solids so are free to move in random directions. Have low densities

26
Q

If the temperature changes, it depends on

A

The mass of the substance, what it’s made of and the energy input

27
Q

Energy (E), mass (M) and specific latent heat (L)

A

Energy (J) = mass (kg) x specific latent heay (J/KG)

28
Q

When a substance is melting or boiling, you’re still putting in energy and so

A

Increasing the internal energy, but the energy is used for breaking bonds between particles rather than raising the temperature

29
Q

When a substance is condensing or freezing, bonds are _________ beterrn particles, which releases energy. This means?

A

FORMING. The internal energy decreases, but the temperature doesn’t go down until all the substance has turned to liquid or solid.

30
Q

What is specific latent heat of a substance

A

The amount of energy needed to change 1kg of it from one state to another without changing its temperature
