Particle model, pressure, internal energy transfers Flashcards
What is the particle arrangement like for solids?
Packed in a regular structure, strong intermolecular forces between the particles hold in place so cannot move.
What is the main property of a solid?
It is difficult to change shape
What is the particle arrangement like for liquids?
The particles are close together, forces keep contact but can move about within the particles
What are the two main properties for liquids?
They can change shape but are difficult to compress
What is the particle arrangement like for gases?
The particles are separated by large distances. Weak forces so the particles are constantly moving randomly.
What are the two main properties of gases?
They can expand to fill a space and are easiest to compress.
What happens to the pressure of a fixed volume of gas as temperatures increases?
It increases
How does pressure increase when temperature increases?
The speed of particles increases so there is more frequent collisions with more force so pressure increases
If kinetic energy increases so do the ____________ of the gas
Temperature
What amount of kinetic energy is lost when gas particles collide with each other or the container?
No amount
Gas particles are in a ________ state of random motion
Constant
What is the equation for density?
Density = mass / volume
What is density?
Mass or a substance in a given volume
What is the specific latent heat?
This is the energy needed to change 1kg of a substances state
What is the specific latent heat of fusion?
Energy needed to change 1kg of solid into 1kg of liquid at the same temperature
