Question
Answer
Name the properties of a solid.   Materials have a definite shape and a definite volume.  
🗑
Name the properties of a liquid.   A material has a definite volume but not a definite shape.  
🗑
Name the properties of a gas.   A material has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.  
🗑
What is kinetic energy and what does it mean in Greek?   It is the energy an object has due to its motion and it means "to move" in Greek.  
🗑
What is the result of a force distributed over an area?   It is pressure.  
🗑
At what temperature is absolute zero?   A temperature of 0 K.  
🗑
What does Charles's law state?   That the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in kelvins if the pressure and the number of particles of a gas are constant.  
🗑
What does Boyle's Law state?   That the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the temperature and the number of particles are constant.  
🗑
What is a reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another?   A phase change.  
🗑
What happens during an endothermic change?   The system absorbs energy from its surroundings.  
🗑
What is the heat of fusion?   The energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a solid to a liquid.  
🗑
What happens during an exothermic change? Give an example.   The system releases energy to its surroundings. Ex: Freezing.  
🗑
What is vaporization?   The phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas.  
🗑
What is heat of vaporization?   It is the energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a liquid to a gas.  
🗑
Explain the process of evaporation.   Evaporation is the process that changes a substance from a liquid to a gas at temperatures below the substance's boiling point.  
🗑
What is the pressure caused by the collisions of particles in a vapor with the walls of a container?   Vapor pressure.  
🗑
What is condensation? Give an example.   It is the phase change in which a substance changes from a gas or vapor to a liquid. Ex: Morning dew on blades of grass.  
🗑
What is the phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first?   Sublimation.  
🗑
What is the phase change of deposition?   When a gas or vapor changes directly into a solid without first changing to a liquid.  
🗑
