Thermal Energy 1
The state of matter with the second highest energy is this.
What is gas?
Heat has this unit.
What is Joules?
The measurement of the average kinetic energy of all the molecules in an object is known as this.
What is temperature?
A device used to measure temperature is known as this.
What is a thermometer?
The state of matter with the second lowest energy is this.
What is liquid?
A temperature scale that is based upon the idea that all molecular motion stops at absolute zero is this.
What is the Kelvin scale?
The state of matter with the highest energy state is this.
What is plasma?
The absorption of heat by water in a calorimeter is based upon the use of this natural law.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
The amount of potential energy necessary for a phase change to gaseous form is called this.
What is heat of vaporization?
This is the lowest possible temperature at which all molecular motion stops.
What is absolute zero?
The temperature at which the particles have sufficient molecular motion to exist in a gas is this.
What is the boiling point?
The lowest temperature at which the particles are able to exist in liquid form is called this.
What is the melting point?
This temperature scale is often used by chemists and physicists.
What is the Kelvin scale?
The energy that is absorbed by the particles as potential energy as a solid changes to liquid is known as this.
What is melting? OR
What is the heat of fusion?
The energy that flows as a result of a temperature difference is known as this.
What is heat?
This is the amount of heat necessary to raise one mass unit of a substance by one temperature unit.
What is specific heat?
A temperature scale that is based upon the phase change properties of water is this.
What is the Celsius scale?
This is the amount of energy used to raise one gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
What is a calorie?
This is the most common state of matter in existence.
What is plasma?
The state of matter with the lowest energy is this.
What is solid?
In a calorimeter, the amount of energy lost by a substance is absorbed by this.
What is water?
A device that is used to measure changes in thermal energy or heat transfer is known as this.
What is a calorimeter?
This is the reason why water and water based compounds are often used as a coolant.
What is water’s large specific heat?
The movement of heat from one object to another by molecular collision is known as this.
What is conduction?
All the kinetic energy of the molecules in an object is known as this.
