Q

4 steps to find the density of a liquid:

A

1) place a measuring cylinder on a balance and zero the balance.2) pour 50ml of the liquid into the cylinder.3) record the liquid’s mass shown on the mass balance.4) find density.

25
Q

What is 1 ml equal to?

A

1cm cubed.

26
Q

What is 1 cm cubed equal to?

A

0.000001 m cubed.

27
Q

What is Internal Energy?

A

The total energy stored by particles in a system.

28
Q

What kind of energy do atoms and molecules have?

A

Kinetic energy storePotential energy store

29
Q

The internal energy of a system is……

A

The total energy that all its particles have in their Kinetic and potential energy stores.

30
Q

One thing that increases Internal Energy:

A

Heating. It transfers energy to its particles.

31
Q

Heating a system may lead to……

A

A change in tempratureOrA change of state

32
Q

How much the temprature of the internal energy is depends on…….. (3 things)

A

The mass of the system, it’s specific heat capacity and how much energy is transferred to it.

33
Q

When does a change of state happen?h

A

When particles have enough energy in their kinetic energy stores to break the bonds holding them together.

34
Q

Does mass change in a change of state?

A

NO

35
Q

A change of state is a physical change not a chemical change.What does this mean?

A

You don’t end up with a new material, the particles are just arranged differently.

36
Q

Does the number of particles change when the state changes?

A

No

37
Q

What happens if you reverse a change of state?

A

It will get back all the properties it had before the change.

38
Q

GAS TO LIQUID?

A

Condensing

39
Q

LIQUID TO SOLID?

A

Freezing

40
Q

SOLID TO LIQUID?

A

Melting

41
Q

LIQUID TO GAS?

A

Boiling / evaporating

42
Q

SOLID straight to a GAS?

A

Sublimating

43
Q

What changes and what doesn’t change in a change of state?

A

INTERNAL ENERGY CHANGES.TEMPERATURE DOESN’T.

44
Q

Heating a material transfers energy to the material. What could this do?

A

It either increased the temprature of the material OR changes it’s state.

45
Q

When a material cools, the energy is…….

A

Transferred away from it.

46
Q

What forms when a material condenses or freezes?What does this cause?

A

Bonds form. This causes energy to be released. INTERNAL ENERGY DECREASES.

47
Q

What is Specific Latent Heat?

A

The energy needed to change the state of a 1kg mass.

48
Q

What is the energy transferred during a change of state called?

A

Latent heat.

49
Q

For heating, latent heat is…….

A

The energy gained to cause a change of state.

50
Q

For cooling, latent heat is……..

A

The energy released by a change in state.

51
Q

FORMULA FOR SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT:

A

ENERGY (J) = MASS (kg) X specific latent heat (J/kg)

52
Q

Specific latent heat has different names for different changes of state:What is it called for:Solid to liquid Liquid to gas

A

Solid and a liquid = specific latent heat of fusionLiquid and a gas= specific latent heat of vaporisation

53
Q

GAS straight to a SOLID?

A

Deposition

54
Q

The internal energy of a system/material is…..

A

The kinetic energy and potential energy it’s particles have as they move.

55
Q

In a gas, increasing the temprature gives the particles……

A

More energy and they move around faster.

56
Q

The temprature of a system depends on both how much…..

A

Energy it has and how much mass it is made from.

57
Q

In any state, heating the particle increases their…..This can increase the…….

A

internal energy.temprature of the material or cause it to change state.

58
Q

When a material is changing state, it’s……

A

temprature doesn’t change.

59
Q

If we put more particles into a container with gas particles, what would happen?

A

The pressure will increase because there are more collisions with the sides of the container.
