Question | Answer |
---|---|
what are the 3 primary states of matter? | solids liquids and gasses |
what is a solid? | a solid has definite shape and volume. |
what is a liquid? | a liquid has variable shape but variable volume. |
what is a gas? | a gas has variable shape and variable volume. |
Kinetic Energy | the energy an object has due to motion. |
Pressure | the result of a force distributed over an area |
Absolute Zero | a temperature of 0 kelvins. |
Charles Law | the direct proportion of the volume of a gas to its temperature(in kelvins)if the pressure and the number of the particles of the gas are constant. |
Boyle's Law | the inverse variation of the volume of a gas with its pressure if the temperature and the number of particles are constant. |
Phase Change | a reversable physical change that occurs when a subtance changes from one state of matter to another. |
Endothermic | a description of a change in which a system absorbs energy from its surroundings |
Heat of Fusion | the energy a subtance must absorb in order to change from a solid to a liquid. |
Vaporization | the phase change in which a subtance changes from a liquid to a gas. |
Heat of Vaporization | the energy a subtance must absorb in order to change from a liquid to a gas. |
Evaporation | The process that changes a subtance from a liquid to gas when its temperature as below the boiling point. |
Vapor Pressure | The pressure caused by the collisions of particles in a vapor with walls of a container. |
Condensation | the phase change in which a subtance changes from a gas or vapor to a liquid. |
Sublimation | the phase change in which a subtance changes from a solid to gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first. |
Deposition | the phase change in which a gas or vapor changes directly into a solid first changing into a liquid; the placement of sediment that has been transported from another location. |
