| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Pressure | the result of a force distributed over an area |
| Absolute Zero | A temperature of 0k |
| Charles Law | states that the volume of gas is directly prportional to its temperature in kelvins if the pressure and the number of particles of the gas are constant |
| Boyles 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 | the reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another |
| Endothermic | absorbs energy from its surroundings |
| heat of fusion | the energy a substance must absorb n order to change from a solid to a liquid |
| exothermic | releases energy to its surrounding |
| vaporation | when a substance changes from a liquid to a gas |
| heat of vaporization | the energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a liquid to a gas |
| evaporation | the process that changes a substance from a liqiud to a gas at temperatures below the substances boiling point |
| vapor pressure | pressure caused by the collisions of their vapor and the walls of the container |
| condensation | the phase change in which a substance changes from a gas or vapor to a liquid |
| sublimation | the phase change in which a substance changes from from a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first |
| depostion | when a gas or vapor changes directly into a solid without first changing to a liquid |
