Q

Arrangements of a solid?

A
  • Strong forces of attraction hold the particles together in a fixed position.
  • They don’t have that much energy so they vibrate in fixed positions
  • The density is the highest as the particles are close together

Q

Arrangements of a liquid?

A
  • weaker forces of attraction between the particles
  • the particles are close together but can move past each other and form irregular arrangements
  • Move in random directions at low speeds
  • Liquids are less dense than solids

Q

Arrangements of gases?

A
  • No forces of attraction between particles
  • They have most energy between 3 states
  • They are free to move in random directions at high speeds.

Q

How do you measure the density of a solid?

A

1) Use a balance and measure the mass
2) If a regular solid mesusre l,w,h and find volume by using the formula
3) for irregular find it by submerging a eureka can filled with water. The water displaced put in a measuring cyclinder
4) Record the volume by mesuring the water in the measuring cyclinder

Q

How do you find density of a liquid?

A

1) Place measuring cylinder on balance and put on 0
2) Pour 10 ml of liquid in measuring cylinder and record the liquids mass
3) Pour another 10ml and repeat it until it is at the top and record the volume
4) For each volume use the formula
5) Finally take an average of the liquids

16
Q

Why else do they have energy in their potential energy stores?

A

Due to their positions

17
Q

What does heating the system do?

A

Transfers energy to its particles they gain energy in kinetic stores and move faster increasing their internal energy

18
Q

When does a change of state occur?

A

If the substance is heated enough the particles will have enough energy in their kinetic stores to break bonds holding them together

19
Q

What happens when you heat a liquid?

A

Boils or evaporates and becomes a gas

20
Q

Whats a change of state?

A

A physical change. Same substance different form

21
Q

What happens when you reverse a change of state ?

A

The substance will return to its original form with original properties

22
Q

What does it mean when it says mass is conserved?

A

The number of particles doesn’t change theyre arranged differently

23
Q

Whatbare the flat spots in a graph?

A

Where energy is being transfered

24
Q

What is latent heat?

A

The energy needed to change the state of a substance

25
Q

What is the specific latent heat?

A

The energy needed for a1kg mass to change state without changing its temperature

26
Q

What is cooling in SHC?

A

Specific latent heat is the energy released by changing state

27
Q

What is the specific latent heat between solid and liquid?

A

Specific latent heat of fusion

28
Q

What is the specific latent heat between liquid and gas?

A

Specific latent heat of vaporisation

29
Q

Whats the formula for specific latent heat?

A

E=mL

30
Q

What does higher the temperature mean?

A

Higher the average energy

31
Q

Why is it when you increase the temeprature of a gas the average speed of its particles increase?

A

1/2mv2

32
Q

What does colliding gas particles create?

A

Pressure

33
Q

What speeds do gas particles move?

A

High speeds and bang in to eachother

34
Q

When happens if the temperature is constant and you increase the volume?

A

Particles get more spread out and hit the walls less often. The gas pressure decreases

35
Q

Whats the equation that links pressure and volume?

A

pV

36
Q

What can a change in pressure cause?

A

A change in volume

37
Q

What does a pressure of gas cause?

A

A net outwards force at right angles to the surface of its containers

38
Q

What happens when a balloon is released into the air?

A

it rises. Atmospheric pressure decreases with height so the pressure outside the balloon decreases. This causes the balloon to expand until the pressure inside drops to the same as the atmospheric pressure

39
Q

What does doing work mean?

A

Transfer energy by applying force
