Boyle's Law
|
The volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure if the number of particles and the temperature remain the same
When pressure decreases, volume increases. P1V1=P2V2 |
|
Absolute Zero
|
A temperature of zero kelvins.
|
|
Charles's Law
|
The volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature if the pressure and the number of particles are kept the same. As the temperature of a gas increases, the volume also increases.
v1/t1=v2/t2 |
|
Condensation
|
The phase change in which a substance changes from a gas to a liquid.
|
|
Deposition
|
The phase change in which a gas changes directly into a solid without changing into a liquid
|
|
Endothermic
|
The system absorbs heat or energy, taking heat in, so the particles move faster
I.e.: melting, evaporation, sublimation |
|
Exothermic
|
The system releases heat or energy gives off heat particles move slower
I.e.: freezing, condensation, deposition |
|
Evaporation
|
Liquid to gas
|
|
Gas
|
The state of matter in which material has neither a definite shape nor volume, particles move fastest
|
|
Heat of Fusion
|
The energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a solid to a liquid
|
|
Heat of Vaporization
|
The energy a substance must absorb in order to change from a liquid to a gas
|
|
Kinetic Energy
|
The energy of motion
|
|
Liquid
|
The state of matter in which a material has a definite volume, but no definite shape. Takes the shape of its container. Particles move slower than in a gas.
|
|
Phase Change
|
A reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another.
|
|
Pressure
|
The result of a force distributed over an area
|
|
Sublimation
|
The phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas without changing to a liquid first
|
|
Solid
|
Materials that have definite shape and volume. Solids keep their shape.
|
|
Vaporization
|
The phase change in which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas.
|
|
Vapor Pressure
|
The pressure caused by the collisions of particles in a vapor with the walls of its container.
|
|
Kinetic Theory of Gas
|
Most movement w/ no real force of attraction between particles
|
|
Sublimation
|
The phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas without changing to a liquid first
|
|
Solid
|
Materials that have definite shape and volume. Solids keep their shape.
|
|
Kinetic Theory of Gas
|
Most movement w/ no real force of attraction between particles
|
|
Kinetic Theory of Liquids
|
Have enough movement to flow to a new location. The force of attraction between the particles allows it to have a definite volume.
|
|
Kinetic Theory of Solids
|
Solids are only capable of vibrating. Lots of attraction between molecules allows it to keep its shape.
|
|
Name 3 Factors Affecting Pressure
|
1. Temperature: as the temperature increases so does the pressure because the particles are moving faster and pressing against the sides of their containers
2. Volume: as the volume increases, pressure decreases because particles have more room to move. 3. Number of Particles: as the # of particles increases, the pressure increases as well |
|
Name 6 Phase Changes
|
1. Melting
2. Freezing 3. Evaporation 4. Condensation 5. Sublimation 6. deposition |
|
Describe how Energy changes in a phase change
|
Energy lost releases heat (exothermic)
Energy gained takes heat in (endothermic) |
