Card preview (23)

#1
Front (Question)

How do particles vary in each state?

Back (Answer)

Only their arrangement and energy are different

#2
Front (Question)

Describe 3 properties of particles in a solid

Back (Answer)

• Strong intermolecular forces • Fixed and regular arrangement • Can only vibrate

#3
Front (Question)

Give 3 properties of particles in a liquid

Back (Answer)

• Weaker intermolecular forces than a solid • Particles are close but move randomly at low speeds • More energy than a solid

#4
Front (Question)

Give 3 properties of particles in a gas

Back (Answer)

• Very little intermolecular force • More energy than liquids and solids • Free to move randomly at different speeds

#5
Front (Question)

What is pressure?

Back (Answer)

Forces exerted per unit

#6
Front (Question)

Give the formula linking force, area and pressure.

Back (Answer)

Pressure = Force/Area

#7
Front (Question)

What happens to the pressure of a gas if you increase the temperature?

Back (Answer)

It increases as particles have more energy so move quicker which causes more collisions and larger momentum so a larger force is exerted in collisions.

#8
Front (Question)

What is internal energy?

Back (Answer)

energy stored by the particles that make up a system. e.g movement = kinetic

#9
Front (Question)

What does heat mean for particles?

Back (Answer)

They will have more energy and a change in temperature or state.

#10
Front (Question)

When will a substance change state?

Back (Answer)

When there is enough energy in their kinetic energy stores to break bonds.

#11
Front (Question)

Solid to a liquid

Back (Answer)

Melting

#12
Front (Question)

Liquid to gas

Back (Answer)

Boiling/evaporating

#13
Front (Question)

Gas to liquid

Back (Answer)

Condensing

#14
Front (Question)

Liquid to solid

Back (Answer)

Freezing

#15
Front (Question)

Solid to Gas

Back (Answer)

Sublimating

#16
Front (Question)

What happens to particles during a state change?

Back (Answer)

They are just arranged differently so mass is conserved

#17
Front (Question)

What is Specific Latent Heat?

Back (Answer)

Amount of energy needed to change 1kg of a substance from one state to another without changing the temperature.

#18
Front (Question)

What is energy used for when a substance is melting or boiling?

Back (Answer)

Breaking intermolecular bonds to change state, internal energy will increase the temperature after.

#19
Front (Question)

Give the formula for Specific Latent Heat.

Back (Answer)

Energy(J) = Mass (kg) x Specific Latent Heat (J/Kg)

#20
Front (Question)

What is specific latent heat of fusion?

Back (Answer)

SLH for melting and freezing

#21
Front (Question)

What is specific latent heat of vaporization?

Back (Answer)

SLF for evaporating/boiling and condensing

#22
Front (Question)

What is energy used for when a substance is freezing or condensing?

Back (Answer)

Forming intermolecular bonds to change state, temperature change will happen after and before.

#23
Front (Question)

Describe a practical to measure density of a solid in 3 steps:

Back (Answer)

• Use a balance to measure the mass (kg) • Place into Eureka can filled with water • Measure how much water has been displaced into the measuring cylinder Use the equation
