16
Q

what is a physical change

A

the material recovers its original properties if the change is reversed

17
Q

what is internal energy

A

total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles

18
Q

heating a system impact on internal energy

A

increases energy stored

19
Q

what happens when temp of substance increases

A

kinetic and potential energy of particles increases

20
Q

what happens when a substance changes state

A

increase in potential energy but not kinetic energy of particles

21
Q

specific heat capacity

A

amount of energy required to raise the temp of 1 kg of the substance by 1’C

22
Q

specific latent heat

A

amount of energy required to change the state of 1 kg or the substance with no change in temp

23
Q

energy change, mass, specific heat capacity, change in temp

A

change in thermal energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temp change

24
Q

energy, mass, specific latent heat

A

energy for a change of state = mass x specific latent heat

25
Q

specific latent heat of fusion

A

amount of energy required to change the state of 1kg of a substance from a solid to liquid

26
Q

specific latent heat of vaporisation

A

amount of energy required to change the state of 1kg of a substance from liquid to gas

27
Q

what is average kinetic energy of a gas related to

A

its temp

28
Q

what happens to the pressure of a gas at constant volume if u increase temp

A

pressure increases

29
Q

what happens to motion of molecules in a gas as its temp increases

A

velocity increases

30
Q

why does pressure of a gas at fixed volume increase with temp

A

more frequent and more energetic collisions from particles with a container

31
Q

how is pressure caused by a gas in a container

A

collisions with the container walls

32
Q

what does the pressure of a gas cause on the walls of a container

A

a force at right angles

33
Q

whats the effect on pressure when the volume of a gas decreases but the temp remains constant

A

the pressure decreases

34
Q

what is work

A

the transfer of energy (by a force)

35
Q

what does doing work do to the internal energy of a gas

A

increases the internal energy of a gas (can cause an increased temp)
