basic review of thermodynamics

AB
atomswhat matter is made up of
kinetic theory of matteratoms in matter are in a constant state of motion
3 states of mattersolid, liquid, gas
moleculesgroups of atoms
pressurethe result of impulses from the collision of molecules with the walls of containers
Boyle's lawvolume of a fixed amount of gas varies invers w the press. of gasy
Charles' lawthe volume of a fixed amount of gas varies directly w? its temp.
temperaturemeasure of ave. kinetic energy of the particles in a substance
heatform of energy that causes part. of matter to move faster and farther apart
specific heatheat needed to raise the temp. by 1 gram by 1 degree
phase changechange of a substance from one state to another
latent heatheat energy needed per unit mass to change it's phase
ice pointtemp at which ice melts or water freezes
Kelvin scaleabsolute temperature scale
farenheit scale the ice point is32 degrees
celsius scale the ice pint is0 degrees
steam pointpoint at which water boils
celsius steam point is100 degrees
farenheit steam point is212 degrees
triple point (273.16 K)on the Kelvin scale the temp at which water is a gas, liquid, and a solid simultaneously
absolute zero on the Kelvin scalethe lowest possible temperature
