Q

How can the density of a liquid be found?

A

Find the volume using a measuring cylinder
Place an empty measuring cycling on an electronic balance and record the mass. Add the liquid and record the new mass. calculate the mass of the liquid (new mass - old mass)
Use the density equation Density = mass / volume

Q

Why does heating always increase internal energy

A

Heating will either cause the substance to heat up and its kinetic energy to increase or the substance will change state and the internal energy will increase

Q

When a substance changes state why doesn’t the temperate rise?

A

All the energy is being used to break bonds and increase the internal energy

17
Q

Define latent heat

A

The specific latent heat of a substance is the amount of energy required to change the state of one kilogram of the substance with no change in temperature.

18
Q

State the difference between the latent heat of fusion and vaperisation

A

latent heat of Fusion is when a solid changes to a liquid

latent heat of Vaporisation is when a liquid changes to a gas

19
Q

State the units of latent heat

A

J/kg

20
Q

Describe the motion of gas particles

A

constant random motion

21
Q

As a gas is heated how does the particle motion change?

A

Particles move faster as they have more kinetic energy

22
Q

What causes gas pressure

A

Moving gas particles colliding with a container/object. this pressure will always create a force at a right angle to the container.

23
Q

Explain the relationship between the temperature of a gas and its pressure?

A

As temperature increase the pressure increases. this is because the particles have more kinetic energy and move faster. This means there are more collisions each second

24
Q

State the units of pressure

A

Pascals (Pa)
