| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Temperature | A measure of the average thermal energy of atoms and molecules. |
| Fahrenheit | The ___ temperature scale, used in the United States, has a boiling temperature of water at 212. |
| Kinetic Energy | The energy of motion is referred to as ____. |
| Thermometer | A device used to measure temperature is called a/an ____. |
| Absolute Zero | The theoretical temperature where all motion stops is called____. |
| Celsius | The SI dervived unit of temperature is called the ____ scale. When using this unit, water freezes at zero degrees. |
| Heat | Is a measure of the thermal energy of a substance. |
| System | A group of interacting objects and effects that are selected for investigation is called a/an ____. |
| Joule, Calorie | The units of ___ and ____ are used to measure heat energy. |
| Thermal Equilibrium | When the temperature of two systems is the same and heat no longer flows between them, they are in ____. |
| Conductor | A material that easily permits the flow of heat across it is called a/an _____. |
| Specific Heat | The amount of heat needed to raise one gram of substance by one degree is called the ____. |
| Insulator | A material that does not permit the flow of heat across it is called a/an ____. |
| Liquid | In the ___ phase of matter, the atoms or molecules are able to move and change positions, but are still touching each other. |
| Vaporization | The process of _____ requires a great deal of energy, because it breaks the bonds that hold molecules together in their liquid phase and separates them. |
| Solid | In the ____ phase of matter, the atoms or molecules are not able to movie or change positions. |
| Heat of Fusion | The amount of heat required to melt one mole of ice is called the_______. |
| Evaporation | Liquids kept in an uncovered container slowly lose volume over time through the process of ______. |
| Phase Change | A substance undergoes a/an ______ when its molecules are rearranged without cramping the individual molecules. |
| Melting Point | The temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid is called the _____. |
| Dew Point | The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure is called the ______. |
| Gas | The ____ phase of matter has no definite volume. |
| How to calculate specific heat. | Cp=E/(mx Delta T) |
| Label for thermal energy. | Joule |
| Unit for temperature asked. | C (celsius) |
| Define Thermal Equilibrium | A condition in which two systems have the same temperature and no net heat flows from one system to the other. |
| If we added a layer of insulation and a stopper to this test tube, how would it affect the heat flow of the system? | Insulation would keep more heat inside the system and raise the temperature of the water. |
| Pick the most appropriate notes you might take. | H20 has high specific heat, takes lots of energy to change the temp. of H20, water helps to maintain constant Earth temp. |
| If you place a cold bar on top of a warmer bar, what will happen at the molecular level? | Block A is warmer than Block B. Heat is transferred from the warm to cooler box, the two blocks are the same temperature and heat flow stops. |
| What way does heat travel. | Warm to cold. Never cold to hot. |
| Explain why your skin feels cool when you sweat. | Sweat droplets take heat energy from your skin when evaporation occurs. Thus reduces the temperature of your body and heat flows outward into the surroundings. |
| Solid to Liquid | melting |
| Liquid to gas | boiling |
| Gas to liquid | condensing/ condensation |
| Liquid to solid | freezing |
