Thermal Physics

Question 1

equation of specific heat capacity

Answer 1

E = mc delta T

Question 2

what is latent heat

Answer 2

energy required to change the state of 1kg of a substance
E=mL

Question 3

how to convert from degrees to kelvin

Answer 3

degree + 273

Question 4

how many particles in x mols?

Answer 4

number of mols times avogadros number

Question 5

What are the five assumptions in the Kinetic model of gasses (MTV FC)

Answer 5

gas contains large number of molecules that have random rapid MOTION
TIME of collisions is negligible compared to time between collisions
Molecule takes up negligible VOLUME compared to the volume of the container
No FORCES between particles except for when in collisions
All COLLISIONS are perfectly elastic

Question 6

Sate Boyles law

Answer 6

pV = constant therefore P1V1=P2V2

Question 7

State Charles law

Answer 7

volume is directly proportional to abs temp

what is the pressure law

Answer 8

P1/T1=P2/T2

Answer 10

8.31 Jmol-1K-1

Question 11

define internal energy

Answer 11

sum of randomly distributed kinetic and potential energies of the molecules
