topic 3 - Particle Model of Matter Flashcards
density =
mass / volume
arrangement of solid
particles are close together fixed position regular pattern particles vibrate highest density
arrangement in a liquid
particles are close together
move around each other
arranged in an irregular pattern
arrangement particles in a gas
particles far apart
move in random motion
free to move around
low density
units for density
density - kg/m^3
mass - kg
volume m^3
required practical regular shape
measure the mass using a balance
using a ruler measures the width x length x height
use the equation mass/volume to give density
required practical for irregular object
weigh the object using a balance and record this mass
fil a eureka can with water up to the bottom of the spout
and place an empty measuring cylinder underneath the pout
carefully place the object in the eureka can
the volume of water in the measuring cylinder = volume of solid
internal energy
internal energy is the total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles that makes up a system
internal energy =
kinetic + potential energy
kinetic energy causes the atom to
vibrate
potential energy is caused
between the particles
