Temperature and Ideal Gas Flashcards
1
Q
Heat
A
Heat is the energy transferred between objects because of the temperature difference between them
2
Q
Thermal Equilibrium
A
When there is no net flow of heat between two objects in thermal contact, the two objects are in a state of thermal equilibrium
3
Q
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
A
If objects A and B are each separately in thermal equilibrium with a third object C, then A and B are also in thermal equilibrium with each other
4
Q
Kelvin
A
The kelvin is defined as the fraction of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water
5
Q
Ideal Gas
A
An ideal gas is a gas which obeys the equation of state pV = nRT at all pressures, volumes and temperatures
