A | B |
thermometry | study of temperature |
calorimetry | study of heat |
heat | thermal energy |
temperature | average Kinetic energy |
infrared radiation | heat waves |
kinetic energy | energy in motion |
fixed points( for temperature scale) | boiling point of H2O, freezing point of H2O |
Three temperature scales | Kelvin, Celsius, Fahrenheit |
units for heat | Calories, Joules |
a calorie | heat needed to raise 1gram of H2O by 1 degree celsius |
specific heat capacity | heat needed to raise 1 gram of a sample by 1 degree celsius |
isolated system | closed container |
calorimeter | devise to measure reactions' heat |
endothermic | reaction that absorbs heat (feels cool) |
exothermic | reaction that releases heat (feels hot) |
direction of heat flow | from high to low temperatures |
The Kinetic-Molecular Theory | gas particles in motion, collide and cause pressure |
compressibility | gas can be compressed and reduce it's volume |
crystalline lattice | solid particles arranged in patterns |
fusion | melting |
melting point | temperature wher solids begin to become liquid |
heat of fusion | amount of heat needed to melt a substance |
freezing | going from a liquid to a soid |
heat of solidification | heat released fro liquid while becoming solid |
boiling | going from liquid to a gas |
boiling point | the temperature when liquid begins to turn to a gas |
heat of vaporization | amount of heat needed to change a liquid to a gas |
evaporation | liquid to gas only on the surface |
condensation | gas to a liquid |
heta of condensation | heat released when gas turns to a liquid |
heat calculations | if sample needed 334 J to melt, it should release 334 J in order to freeze |
manometer | device to measure pressure |
vapor pressure | gas just above liquid's surface - exerts pressure |
units for pressure | mmHg(Torr), Pascal(Pa), atmosphere(atm) |
sublimation | going from a solid to a gas |
STP (two values) | standard temperature and pressure, O degrees celsius and 1 atmosphere |
normal boiling point | usually 100 degrees celsius for water |
"cold" boiling of water | when water boils less than 100 degrees celsius, because of less atmospheric pressure |
