boiling
the formation of bubbles of gas throughout a liquid
boiling point
the temperature at which liquid turns to a gas and gas changes to a liquid
calorie
the amount of heat energy that raises the temperature of exactly 1g of water at exactly 1 degree celsius
change of state
the transformation of one state of matter to another, for example, solid to liquid, liquid to solid, liquid to gas
chemical change
a change during which the original substance is converted into a new substance that has a different composition and new chemical and physical properties
chemical properties
the properties that indicate the ability of a substance to change into a new substance
compound
a pure substance consisting of two or more elements, with a definite composition, that can be broken down into simpler substances only by chemical methods
condensation
the change of state of a gas to a liquid
cooling curve
a diagram that illustrates temperature changes and changes of state for a substance as heat is removed
deposition
the change of a gas directly into a solid; the reverse of sublimation
element
a pure substance containing only one type of matter, which cannot be broken by chemical methods
energy
the ability to do work
energy value
the kilocalories obtained per gram of the food types; carbs, fats and proteins
evaporation
the formation of a gas (vapor) by the escape of high energy molecules from the surface of a liquid
freezing
the change of state from liquid to solid
freezing point
the temperature at which liquid changes to solid and solid changes to liquid
gas
a state of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume
heat
the energy associated with the motion of particles in a substance
heat of fusion
the energy required to melt exactly 1g of a substance at its melting point. For water, 80 cal. are needed to melt 1g of ice; 80 cal. are released when 1g of water freezes
heat of vaporization
the energy required to vaporize exactly 1g of a substance at its boiling point. For water, 540 cal. are needed to vaporize 1g of a liquid; 1g of steam gives of 540 cal. when it condenses
heating curve
a diagram that shows the temperature changes and changes of state of a substance as it is heated
joule
the SI unit of heat energy; 4.184 J = 1 cal
kinetic energy
the energy of moving particles
liquid
a state of matter that takes the shape of its container but has a definite volume
matter
the material that makes up a substance and has mass and occupies space
melting
the change of state from solid to liquid
melting point
the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid. It is the same temperature as the freezing point
mixture
the physical combination of two or more substances that does not change the identities of the mixed substances
physical change
a change in which the physical properties of a substance change but its identity stays the same
physical properties
the properties that can be observed or measured without affecting the identity of a substance
potential energy
a type of energy related to position or composition of a substance
pure substance
a type of matter composed of elements and compounds that has a definite composition
solid
a state of matter that has its own shape and volume
specific heat
a quantity of heat that changes the temperature of exactly 1g of a substance by exactly 1 degree celsius; a lower SH means it heats up easily
states of matter
three forms of matter; solid, liquid, gas
sublimation
the change of state in which a solid is transformed directly to a gas without forming a liquid first.
