Question | Answer |
---|---|
Macroscopic | large enough to be seen with the naked eye |
Microscopic | small particles that can be seen onwith with the help of a microscope |
Particulate | atoms and molecules so small that are not visible even with an ordinary microscope |
Solids | have definite shape and definite volume |
Liquids | have no shap but definite volume |
Gases | have no definite shape or volume |
Melting Point | solids melt becoming a liquid. Temperature increases |
Boiling Point | liquid boils becoming a gas (vapor). Temperature increases |
Condensation Point | gases condense and become a liquid. Temperature decreases |
Freezing Point | Liquids freeze becoming a solid. Temperature decreases |
Sublimination Point | Solids vaporize becoming a gas. Temperature increase |
Phase Changes | the temperature at which the changes occur and the specific characteristic for each substance |
The Law of conservatrion of mass | that matter can be neither created nor destroyed. The total mass of products after we complete a chemical reaction must equal to the total amount of reactants |
First Law of Thermodynamics | states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed |
Law of conservation of energy | states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed however one form of energy can be converted to another. The total amount of energy in any system does not change |
Energy | capacity to do work or capacity to move matter |
Two forms of energy | Kinetic and Potential |
Kinetic Energy | energy in motion. KE=1/2mv(squared) |
Potential Energy | energy that is stored. capacity to more or cause motion. |
Two types of energy | Mechanical and Chemical |
Mechanical energy | is the kinetic energy possesed by moving objects. Light, heat, electrical, nuclear |
Chemical energy | is stored within chemical substances or processes. Energy is given off when chemical substances react. |
Calorie | the amount of heat or energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of water 1 degree C |
Heat | is a form of energy that most frequently accompanies chemical reactions. Measured in Joules or calories |
Temperature | measured in degrees but not a form of energy |
Specific Heat | is that amount of heat requried to raise the temperature of 1g of any substance substance by 1 degree C |
Kinetic Molecular Theory | theory of matter refering to motion of molecules, primarily gases as the temp, pressure or volume change. Constant, random, chaotic motion of molecules |
Molecule | is an aggregate of either identical or different atoms that are bonded together in a particular order by strong attractive forces |
Brownian Motion | the spontaneous but erratic movement of particles suspended in liquids or gases. |
