Science - Physics (Thermodynamics) Flashcards
kinetic theory of matter
atoms in matter are in a constant state of motion
three ordinary states of matter
solid, liquid, gas
pressure
result of the impulses from he collision of molecules with the walls of the container
boyles law
vol of gas decreases, particles and pressure increase (vice versa)
charles law
temp of gas increases, the volume increases
measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance
temperature
heat
form of energy that causes particles to move faster and farther apart
specific heat
heat needed to raise the temp of 1 gram by 1 degree
latent heat
heat energy needed per unit mass to change the phase of a substance
freezing point farenheit
32
boiling point farenheight
212
triple point
temp which water exists simultaneously as a gas, liquid and solid
kelvin to celsius
temp kelvin = temp celsius +273
fahrenheit to celsius
temp faren = (9/5 temp celsius) + 32
9/5 = 1.8
