Particle Model of Matter Flashcards
Density(p)
mass(m) / volume(v)
Density definition
mass per unit volume
Solid Properties
- can’ t flow
- shape is fixed
- volume is fixed
- denser than a gas and liquid
- strong bonds between particles
Liquid Properties
- can flow
- shape isn’t fixed
- volume is fixed
- denser than a gas
- can change shape due to bonds
Gas Properties
- can flow
- shape isn’t foxed
- volume isn’t fixed
- less dense than a liquid and solid
Latent Heat
Fusion - energy required to turn a substance from a solid to a liquid
Vaporisation - energy required to turn a substance from liquid to gas
Specific Latent Heat
E = mLf or E = mLv
Pressure Law
pressure is directly proportional to the temperature in Kelvin at a constant volume
particles move faster so harder and more successful collisions.
Boyle’s Law
pressure is inversely proportional to volume at a constant temperature
frequency increases
more collision of particles
Energy when given mass or mLv or mLf
energy = mass x specific latent heat
Internal Energy
- kinetic energy of the particles
- the potential energy of the particles
internal energy = kinetic energy of particles + potential energy of particles
Work on a gas
- if you compress a gas you do work on it
- this increases the internal energy
- as the p.e is already at a maximum the work increases the kinetic energy of particles so temp goes up
