Particle model of matter Flashcards
equation
density
mass / volume
Atoms in a solid
packed in ordered rows, vibrating
has a high density
atoms in a liquid
less ordered, move around more
has a high density
atoms in a gas
move randomly
low density
measuring mass
regular solids
measured using a electronic balance
measuring mass
irregular solids
measured by a displacment/eureka can
measuring mass
liquids
total mass - mass of container
latent heat
energy transferred to a substance when it change state
internal energy
sum of kinetic and potential energy that make up a system
heating a substance
increases temp - increases kinetic energy
changing state - increases potential energy
specific latent heat
amount of energy transferred when 1kg of a substance changes state
no change in temp
energy for change in state
mass x specific latent heat
changing temp of gas
changes the pressure
