T3 - Particle model of matter Flashcards
Equation for density?
Density(kg/m^3) = Mass(kg) / volume(m^3)
Features of particles in a solid? x3
-particles close together
-particles arranged in regular pattern
-vibrate but dont move
Features of particles in a liquid? x3
-particles close together
-particles not arranged in regular pattern
-particles move around each other
Features of particles in a gas? x3
-particles far apart
-particles not arranged in pattern
-particles move rapidly
Why do solids have a high density?
particles are close together
Why do gases have a low density?
particles are far apart
What is internal energy?
energy stored in a system by the particles
Internal energy is the total of what two energies?
-kinetic
-potential
What is solid to gas called?
sublimation
What happens to internal energy if you heat a substance?
Internal energy increases
What happens to internal energy if you cool a substance?
Internal energy decreases
What happens to the mass when a change of state takes places?
Mass is conserved
What is evaporation?
when the surface of a liquid turns to gas
What is the specific heat capacity of a substance?
the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of the substance by 1 degree C
Equation for specific heat capacity?
change in thermal energy(J) = mass(kg) × specific heat capacity(j/kg c) × temperature change(C)
