Equation for Heat (temperature change)
|
Q=MC∆T
|
Equation for heat (phase change)
|
Q=mL
|
What is the caloric theory?
|
Heat was suggested as a fluid-like substance that was colourless and tasteless.
|
What is the joule theory?
|
Heat was suggested as a form of energy. Transfer of mechanical energy to a material causes increase in temperature, speed, height or any other physical state.
|
What is work?
|
Work is the product of force and displacement. Work occurs when energy is transformed from one form to another.
|
Does amount of energy change during a energy transformation?
|
No
|
What is the kinetic theory?
|
It suggests that all matter is made of atoms and molecules. These are in constant motion.
|
What are some of the assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory?
|
It applies to solid, liquid and gas. There is many particles and they are in constant motion. None are lost or gained and attraction and expulsion occurs.
|
Compare the differences of solid, liquid and gas.
|
Solid is vibrating in a fixed shape. Liquid is weaker than solid and has greater volume. They are able to move around. Gas is in constant, random motion.
|
How does a change of state occur?
|
If a solid changes to a liquid then the molecular receives energy and the particles break. Kinetic and potential energy is gained.
|
What happens when a transfer of energy occurs?
|
The temperature and speed increases. The particles begin to collide and transfer energy. Potential and kinetic energy is gained.
|
Define temperature
|
Measurement of average kinetic energy.
|
Define heating
|
Transfer of heat energy.
|
What affects temperature?
|
Mass, material and amount of energy
|
Does the temperature change while the material is melting?
|
No
