QuestionAnswer
The moderate temperatures of islands throughout the world has mainly to do with water's High specific heat capacity
Whether one object is warmer than another object has most to do with . Molecular kinetic energy
The temperature of boiling water is Both
When you touch a piece of ice with your finger, energy flows: From finger to ice
Absolute zero corresponds to a temperature of Both -276C & 0 K
Heat is simply another word for Thermal energy that flows from hot to cold
Increasing the temperature of 50 grams of water by 1°C requires: 50 calories
A substance that heats up relatively quickly has a Low specific heat capacity
The change in the thermal energy of a system plus the product of its pressure and volume Enthaply
The motion of molecules that most affects temperature is: Translational motion
Thermal energy is normally measured in of Calories & Joules
Which two laws of thermodynamics are statements of what doesn't happen? The second and the third
A bimetallic strip used in thermostats relies on the fact that different metals have different: Rates of thermal expansion
Water at 4 degrees Celsius will expand when it is slightly: Cooled and warmed
Which is larger: a Celsius degree or a kelvin? Neither
What are the temperatures for freezing water on the Celsius and the Fahrenheit scales, respectively? 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 0 degrees Celsius
What are the temperatures for freezing water and boiling water on the Kelvin temperature scale? the freezing point of water in Kelvin is 273 K and the boiling point is 373 K
In which direction does thermal energy flow between hot and cold objects? From hot to cold
What role does temperature have in the direction of thermal energy flow? Temperature differences specify the direction of heat flow from hot to cold
How many joules are needed to change the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 °C? 4.19 J
Which law of thermodynamics consist of the conservation of energy applied to thermal systems? First law
Which law of thermodynamics is related to the direction of heat transfer? Second
When can thermal energy in a system move from lower to higher temperatures? When a system gains heat energy
When disorder in a system increases, does entropy increase or decrease? Entropy increases
Under what condition can the entropy of a system be decreased? The entropy of a system decreases only when it interacts with some other system whose entropy increases in the process
Which generally expands more for an equal increase in temperature: solids or liquids? Liquids expands more than solids

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
