Question | Answer |
---|---|
Heat flows from | hot to cold |
Heat is an object's what | thermal energy |
according to the kinetic-molecular model, atoms, molecules, ions and their subatomic particles are in what kind of motion | constant |
PE+KE=what | total internal energy |
what is the sum of all the kinetic energies of its particles | thermal energy |
thermal energy can be measured when it is what | transferred from one system to another |
when molecules start moving they gain or lose kinetic energy | gain |
when molecules gain energy, you increase what | thermal energy and temperature |
transferring particle kinetic energy, the motion is called what | heating and cooling |
a loss of thermal energy is usually accompanied by what | falling temperatures |
a gain of thermal energy is usually accompanied by what | rising temperatures |
the temperature of an object is directly related to the what of its atoms and molecules | average kinetic energy |
what is temperature measured with | thermometer |
where is the fahrenheit scale used | on thermometers in teh US |
when was the thermometer created | 1714 |
Anders Celsius devised a decimal temperature scale in what year | 1742 |
Kelvin scale was created in what year and by whom | 1848 by Lord Kelvin |
what is an advantage to the kelvin scale | no negative values |
what type of expansion happens on the particle level | thermal expansion |
what does electrical resistance increase with | increasing temperatures |
what is viscosity | the measure of the resistance of liquids to flow |
what is the quantity of thermal energy that flows from one place to another | heat |
what is it called when two objects of different temperatures touch, thermal energy moves from the hotter object to the cooler one | conduction |
conduction is the chief process by which thermal energy moves through what | solids |
what is the best natural conductor of thermal energy | diamond |
what is convection | thermal energy carried from one location to another by a fluid |
colder fluids sink because they are more dense. what is this flow called | convection current |
what is radiation | thermal energy that radiate from the source outward |
what is a vacuum | large amounts of empty space |
radiant energy can transfer thermal energy between two objects that are what | not in contact |
radiant energy does or does not use matter to move between systems | does NOT |
does thermal energy need matter to move | yes |
what are insulators | materials that resist the flow of thermal energy |
what is the best type of insulator | a vacuum |
what is the relationship between the amount of thermal energy absorbed and the temperature change caused by this | heat capacity (C) |
what is the heat capacity per gram of material | specific heat capacity/specific heat |
what is the amount of thermal energy exchanged per gram of material during melting or freezing | latent heat of fusion |
what is the amount of heat it takes to change the liquid to a gas | latent heat of vaporization |
what is freezing | liquid to a solid |
what is melting | solid to liquid |
what is condensation | gas to liquid |
what is vaporization | liquid to gas |
what is sublimation | solid to gas without passing through the intermediate state of a liquid |
what is deposition | gas to a solid without passing through the intermediate state of a liquid |
the temperature and pressure at which the solid, liquid, and gas phases exist simultaneously | triple point |
the temperature above which a substance will always be a gas regardless of the pressure | critical point |
the temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of a substance are in equilibrium at atmospheric pressure | freezing point |
the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the pressure on the liquid | boiling point |
