P6.4/P6.5/P6.6 - Latent heat + temperature Flashcards
internal heat
energy stored by particles of a substance
sum of internal heat
-KE from individual motions
-potential energy from position of all particles
What increases internal energy
-increasing temp of substance
Particle composition in a solid
-strong forces of attraction
-fixed position
-when heated, bonds are overcome + particles may break away from structure
Particle composition in a liquid
-forces of attraction aren’t strong enough to prevent random movement
Particle composition in a gas
-forces of attraction are insignificant = so weak
-high speed random movement
-when heated, pressure of gas increases = more collisions
Pressure of gas on container is caused by
force of impacts of gas particles against surface (collisions)
When a substance is heated
-temp rises = more KE
-if it melts/boils = more potential energy of particles
Latent heat of fusion
-energy needed by particles to break free from each other
When is latent heat transferred to surroundings
-when a substance cools/solidifies at its melting point
specific latent heat of fusion
-energy used to change the state
-of 1kg of a substance
-from a solid to a liquid
-at its metling point
Formula for specific latent heat of fusion
E/m
unit for specific latent heat of fusion
j/kg
Latent heat of vapourisation
-energy supplied to go from liquid to gas
-allows particles to break free from one another
Lv
-energy used to change 1kg of substance
-from liquid to gas
-at its boiling point
