22
Q

The _______ of a particular sample of substance is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of that by 1°C.

A

heat capacity C

23
Q

The ___________ of a substance is the heat capacity per unit mass.

a measure of how thermally insensitive a substance is to the addition of energy

A

specific heat capacity c

24
Q

the ___________ the material’s specific heat, the more energy must be added to a given mass of the material to cause a particular temperature change

A

greater

25
Q

Energy that can be transferred from one body to another due to

A

temperature difference

26
Q

The object with bigger c has ______ change in temperature compared to an object with smaller c

A

less

27
Q

The value of the specific heat of a gas depends on whether the ____________ is held constant.

This distinction is not important for solids.

A

pressure or volume

Gases: Specific heat depends on the process because gases can expand and do work on their surroundings. 𝑐𝑝 > 𝑐𝑣

Solids: Expansion is negligible, so the distinction between constant pressure and constant volume is not important. Only one specific heat value is typically used.

28
Q
  • is the science of measuring changes in parameters
  • of chemical reactions, physical changes, and phase transitions
  • for the purpose of deriving the heat associated with those changes.
A

calorimetry

29
Q

is any object or set of objects that we wish to consider

A

SYSTEM

30
Q
  • No mass enters or leaves but energy can be exchanged with the environment.
  • ________ - if no energy in any form passes across its boundaries
A

Closed system
Isolated

31
Q

Mass may enter or leave as may energy

A

Open system

32
Q

If there is no heat loss to the surroundings, the heat lost by the hotter object equals the heat gained by the cooler ones

A

Conservation of energy

heat lost = heat gained

33
Q

transition from one phase (solid, liquid, gas) to another.

A

Phase change

34
Q

During a ___________, the temperature of the mixture does not change (provided the system is in thermal equilibrium).

When we add heat to ice at 0⁰C at normal atmospheric pressure, the temperature of the ice does not increase. Instead, some of it melts to form liquid water.

The effect of adding heat to this system is not to raise its temperature but to change its _________ (solid-liquid)

A

phase change
phase (solid-liquid)

35
Q

_________ - transition between states of matter
- it requires transfer of ________

A

Phase change
energy

36
