Pressure | Is the result of a force distributed over an area. |
Absolute zero | A temperature of 0 K. |
Charle's Law | states that the volume of gas is directly proportional to its temperature in kelvins if the pressure and the number of particles of the gas are constant. |
Boyle's Law | states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the temperature and the number of particles are constant. |
phase change | is the reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another. |
endothermic | the system absorbs energy from its surroundings |
heat of fusion | the amount of energy absorbed. |
exothermic | the system releases energy to its surroundings. |
vaporization | the phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas. |
heat or vaporization | this amount of heat energy absorbed in water |
Condensation | is the phase change in which a substance changes from gas or vapor to a liquid |
sublimation | is the phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas or vapor |
deposition | when a gas or vapor changes directly into a solid without first changing into a liquid. |
