A | B |
matter | anything that has mass and takes up space:can be changed by energy. is composed of elements(solids liquids or gases) |
kinetic molecular theory | matter consists of tiny particles in constant motion |
mass | amount of materials in an object |
energy | ability to do work |
states of matter | solids,liquids,gases,plasma |
solids | has definite shape and volume, low energy |
crystalline solid | has particles arranged in a regular, repeating pattern(salt crystal) |
amorphous solid | loses its shape under certain conditions(wax,tar,glass) |
network solids | composed of nonmetal atoms connected by a network of covalent bonds. |
network solids | really consist of one huge molecule. ex. carbon,graphite, and diamonds |
liquids | has definite volume but no definite shape. takes the shape of its container. more energy than a solid but less than a gas. |
viscosity | resistance of a liquid to flow |
high viscosity | honey,molasses |
low viscosity | water,alcohol |
gases | no definite shape or colume, because of distance between and the independent movement of particles |
gases | have high energy. air at room temperature moves faster than 100mph |
plasma | unbound nuclei and electrons. found in stars and the sun |
law of conservation of matter | matter can't be created nor destroyed. instead it changes from one form to another. developed by Antoine Lavoisier(father of chemistry) |
energy | no energy=no life, cellular respiration |
kinetic energy | energy in motion, moving objects. depends on the mass of an object and its velocity |
kineteic energy | a baseball struck by a bat has kinetic energy |
SI unit | joules(J) |
potential energy | energy possessed by objects through their position-stored energy(ex. water dam) |
potential energy | scientists are mostly interested in potential energy stored in chemical bonds. without energy stored in bonds, you would have to eat all the time to keep your body going. |
law of conservation of energy | energy is niether created nor destroyed. instead it changes from one form to another |
converting from celsius to kelvin | K=C+273 |
heat | a measure of the total amount of energy a substance posesses. |
heat capacity | quantity of energy required to increase the temperature of that sample by one degree |
specific heat | quantity of energy needed to increase the temperature of one gram of a substnace by one degree |
specific heat | like density, it can be used to identify a substance |
specific heat formula | quantity of energy transferred by heating divided by sample of mass x temperature change |
matter and heat | when the specific heat of a substance is known, you can calculate the energy transferred to or from that substance by heating, provided that you also know its mass and how much its temperature changed |
loss of heat | if the temperature change carries a negative sign |
